The Learning Patterns help you improve your way of learning, and help you build an active community of learners.

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” — Steve Jobs

“The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.” — Ludwig Wittgenstein

“It is not knowledge, but the means of gaining knowledge which I have to teach.” — Thomas Arnold

You’ve recognized that continual learning is an essential activity in a complex and fluid society.


▼In this context


It is not easy to learn how to learn.

• There are several ways of learning.
• It is unrealistic to try many ways of learning because time is limited.
• It is quite difficult even for experts to explain their tacit knowledge.


▼Therefore


Learn the way of learning from the Learning Patterns, which help you achieve good methods for learning.

• Read through all patterns to understand what the Learning Patterns are like, especially the first half of each pattern, namely a pattern name, an introductory sentence and illustration, and quotes.
• Read the detail of each pattern in which you are interested. In the second half of each pattern, there are descriptions about a context, a problem, forces (difficulties why the problem is hard to solve), a solution, and actions (how to solve problems in practice).
• Read the patterns in order to recognize the problem that may easily occur in the context where you are.
• When you face a problem in learning, find the corresponding patterns to find the solution to it.
• When you talk about the way of learning, use the pattern name of the Learning Patterns as the term of a common language for learning.
