Content Assessment: Learning Patterns in Action

Some of the scenarios will challenge you to identify times when individuals had to use their critical thinking skills to improvise or “field-fit” their Learning Patterns. 

 Perhaps the plan for doing something didn’t work for some unforeseeable reason, and it was necessary to “think on the spot.” Maybe plans for a day-long outing fell through because of weather, timing, or some attraction being unexpectedly closed, so another outing had to be planned quickly. 


One of the most famous “field-fitters” of all time is the factious TV character from the 1980’s, MacGyver

 The things this man could do with a paperclip, Swiss army knife, and duct tape! MacGyver was a highly Technical and Confluent learner because he was able to think of creative, outside the box ways to “field-fit” and solve complex problems to save the day.

  "At the heart of intentional learning is the awareness that you know how to self-regulate the use of your Learning Patterns.  With a conscious effort on your part to know and use each of your Patterns with intention, you’ll be more apt to respond appropriately to situations - and in doing so, grow into a more successful learner." -
