How Do We Learn

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs












Is getting an “A” learning
Is mastering a test an accomplishment
Really?

I sat through hours of classes
I took notes that have since
Turned pale or been tossed
Did I learn
Or did I just do the system

Learning happens how exactly
Does an experimenter in a laboratory learn
Ah – I think we may have something here
Try and fail, a “D” not an “A”
Could that be learning too

What if I know twenty
Ways that don’t work
Have I learned
Edison says so

Learning seems to be
Active doing
Hands on
Try and try again

I learned a long time ago
The proper question is this …

Not ‘Can we learn’
Rather – ‘How do we learn best’
