This lecture, we learnt abt Procedure and Principle learning.
Both learning strategies are in fact, in my opinion, a level higher than simply learning.
However, i'm quite interested in Procedural learning, as it could possibly be related to my military experience.
The idea of Procedural learning is to teach learners to such a point that the "thing" which is taught to them becomes "automated", or in other words, a second nature to them.
In the army, we learnt soldiering skills right from the first day we enlisted. Things ranging from basic discipline to advanced tactics and maneuvers out in the field. During this process, we were made to do, re-do, practice and practice these exercises over and over and over again, so much so that sometimes it becomes mundane and boring.
However, all these is aimed at getting soldiers used to these soldiering skills, such that it becomes second nature to us. In times of needs, we can then display these skills in an exemplary manner.
Not sure if i'm relating to a right example.. do hope to hear some comments! =)
