Advanced Learning Systems
This 2-credit seminar style course is based on a model of developing self-regulated learners through understanding concepts related to motivation, attitude, goal planning, and the process of knowledge acquisition. The content centers on the belief that learning is an intellectual, yet a personal, individual, and interactive process. In a targeted way, students learn to approach knowledge based on their personal metacognitive response to learning and develop processes of acquiring knowledge that are personally meaningful. Through the process of reflective practice, students will have the opportunity to develop a deep understanding of themselves as learners, and then intentionally apply that understanding to the development of the most effective strategies for success in both college learning and beyond, through the application of a learning systems approach. This includes exploration of a variety of strategies and methods for to apply immediately for both academic and personal improvement. The course is intended to help students generalize their approach beyond the walls of formal schooling in order to become autonomous lifelong learners.
