Reflections on Learnin and g Strategies Diary

While reviewing my diary, I noticed that planning/organizing, accessing information sources and selective attention were the strategies I used most often. Those strategies were followed by managing own learning, monitoring/identifying problems, personalizing, using images and kinesthetic sense, as well as, self-talk were next in frequency. Finally, I used cooperating, graphic organizers, transferring, making predictions and inferences, using background knowledge and evaluating less frequently.

I wouldn't say the above-mentioned strategies reflect my full repetoire. Also, the strategies I used were, of course, tied to the situations. Most of which were substitute teaching assignments. I had to stretch my thinking to come up with other scenarios. I will say that having to think about myself using learning strategies has made me more cognizant of them and serves as a prompt for me to try other strategies that I don't use as often..
