How do we learn?

Prensky postulates that in general, we all learn through

• behaviours through imitation, feedback, and practice
• creativity through playing
• facts through association, drill, memory, and questions
• judgment through reviewing cases, asking questions, making choices, receiving feedback, and coaching
• language through imitation, practice, and immersion
• observation through viewing examples and feedback
• procedures through imitation and practice
• processes through system analysis, deconstruction, and practice
• systems through discovering principles and graduated tasks
• reasoning through puzzles, problems, and examples
• skills (physical or mental) through imitation, feedback, continuous practice, and increasing challenge
