Traits of a Successful Learner

Reflect on the Habits of the Mind and identify a trait or habit you feel is a strength and something you need to work on. Please explain why you think this is and perhaps provide an example of when you have demonstrated or applied this habit in a real-life learning situation.

  2. Heeyyy..
    I think that one of my strengths of the habbit of the mind is Thinking Interdependently. I think that the one i need to work on is Thinking Flexibly because i don't yet consider lots of ways to solve a problem. x

  5. I think im rather good at learning with humor because i enjoy laughing and when i was at my last school i sometimes tought the really little kids and i always did it by making them laugh. My weakness is that i need to work on is persisting. If i come to a metaphorical hurdle i usally quit straight aay rather than try. As Thomas Edison always said "Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration"

  9. HEY PEOPLES! :)
    i think that my best attribute is thinking independently, even though i work well in groups i really like to think independently to come up with cool and creative ideas that i can say are my own. I like to think of it as a way to be yourself while answering questions, doing tests and just everyday decisions!

  10. Hey,

    My best attribute out of the 16, would have to be, persisting, because i always strive to do my best and to do even better, another good attribute i have is, Thinking independently, because i find that it's better to use your own independent thoughts, than copy others! Although my worst would have to be responding with wonderment and awe, well i can respond like the above to others, but i find it hard to do so at my own work!
