Improving your Agile Learning starts with embracing a growth mindset where in which you seek knowledge and apply what you learn into your everyday life.
One way to improve your skills, knowledge and learning experience is by being curious! Curiosity in learning allows you to explore unfamiliar subjects and understand complex concepts.
To foster your curiosity, you can seek diverse ranges of sources such as:
Continuously adapting the way you take in information can aid your studies greatly as you can see what sort of resources and methods work best for you. By experimenting with various learning resources, you can identify the most effective ways that you retain information. This directly improves your agile learning skills and allows you to make sure that your learning experiences are dynamic and engaging.
Furthermore, reflecting upon your learning can help you to become an Agile Learner. Actively analysing your skills and learning experiences can allow you to gain a deeper insight into your own abilities, can help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses. From this you can make informed adjustments and refinements to your methods of learning.
An example of a reflective learning practice at the University of Derby is that of PAT (Personal Academic Tutor) Tutorials, where you can reflect and discuss your progress with an academic member of staff.
