Learning how to learn

To what degree, it is about knowing some knowledge, can this one become as systematically as self-regulation, as learning-design by learners.

Learning-design expertise are developed not only by knowing how, but also by actually apply the patterns/knowledge/skills in one’s learning-journey, overtime, try and find the appropriate strategies, and appraise the use of the strategies.

Overtime, the confidence and satisfaction are acquired, these skills become automated, in a learner’s tree-net gardens, there are many trees blossom, bear fruits; in other words, the same strategy can be used creatively in different situations.

The learner truly become the expert after much experience of explicitly experiment on using the strategies. Learning is an systematic engineer process, rather than only knowing some how, without necessarily commit in using these strategies. And like any engineering process, a process needs to be guaranteed by many external and internal factors.
