Hello! For my first task, I have to reflect on these two questions from a University seminar. I answered the questions below. Please let me know if I have answered them well enough.
what does it mean to "learn" something?
To "learn" something means to gain knowledge through a particular thing whether by study, experience, or being professionally taught by someone.
how do you know if you have "learned" something?
Once you have "learned" something, you will be able to easily recognize or define that particular thing. Usually when you say "that you have learned something," it refers to something that you were unaware of or something that was unknown to you before you became acquainted with such information.
I actually changed a few things in my questions.
What does it mean to "learn" something?
To "learn" something means to gain knowledge through study or experience.
How do you know if you have "learned" something?
Once you learn something, you will be able to easily recognize that source of information. Usually it's something that you were unaware of or something that was unknown to you before you became acquainted with such information.
I agree.
There is another question that I answered. I am not sure if I answered it well enough.
Can you think of an example of when you experienced learning as a quantitative increase and qualitative change?
An example of viewing learning as a quantitative increase for myself would be the transition from Elementary to High school. The knowledge and vocabulary we learned from stage one in this case was Elementary to junior high, was later applied in High school. The shift from Elementary and Junior high is to learn and develop ourselves as much as we can. High school was more like "refurbishing" your skills within our repertoire. Because High school is a major stage where we prepare ourselves for Collage or University which is at an academic level.
I haven't mentioned qualitative yet I will soon but before I do that I want to make sure I wrote quantitative well enough.
I think you answered it fine.
I'm reminded of an experience that many toddlers have. No matter how many times they are told that the stove is hot and they shouldn't touch it, many do so any way. They learn that fact by getting a little sore on their finger. Most kids learn that lesson at once and never touch a hot stove again.
I agree with your example. Very well explained. I have added quantitative change. I tried to match it with what I wrote above as opposed to the lecturer who chose to say two different things.
"Moving on to qualitative change. Through our lives we develop and enhance our knowledge. From stage one our days in Elementary school began by learning smaller and simpler words or information. That source of information was later expanded in further grades. Before I knew it, I became a University student who used terms or information that never crossed my mind. From a child who just knew A,B and C's to a sophisticated woman."
I believe I have some grammatical mistakes or should I say sentencing mistakes.
"Moving on to qualitative change. Through our lives we develop and enhance our knowledge. From stage one, our days in Elementary school which began by learning smaller and simpler words or information. That source of information was later expanded in further grades. Before I knew it, I became a University student who used terms or information that never crossed my mind. From a child who just knew A,B and C's to a sophisticated woman of knowledge."
Your last sentence is a fragment.
The rest looks good.
