WHAT “LEARNING TO LEARN” KC IS ABOUT? A: Learn that learning is good B: Learn what someone else is learning C: Making yourself more aware D: The only way to survive of your own way of learning is learning

LEARNING TO LEARN Everybody learns every moment of the day. One can learn in various ways, like by talking to others, or by listening, by searching for information or by attending a workshop. Sometimes you learn because you are in a situation in which you know you will learn something, for example in school. You know the teacher wants to teach you something and if you pay attention, you will learn. But you can learn quite a lot in other situations too, sometimes without noticing. Afterwards you might think, " Hey, I learned something while talking to this person or because I was responsible for organizing something". You can develop this competence by making yourself more aware of your own way of learning. You then understand better from whom and how you learn most, from yourself, from others or from certain situations. But you know what? You can make learning more fun if you also think about it up front. That means that you think about what you want to learn before the project or whatever you are doing on a certain day, on a certain month or in a certain project.
