Process of learning into an active and immersive experience

-ANKITHA SHAJI 

 

An essential aspect of understanding me is my innate preference for delving deeper into concepts rather than simply memorizing theories. This approach to learning and understanding the world around me is a defining characteristic that influences my perspectives, choices, and interactions. I believe that true comprehension emerges from a profound exploration of underlying principles and the connections between different pieces of information. Rather than passively absorbing information at surface level, I am driven to uncover the "why" and "how" behind concepts. This involves critically questioning assumptions, seeking out diverse viewpoints, and actively engaging with the material.

By delving deeper into concepts, I aim to achieve a more holistic and nuanced understanding. I used to be a really diligent and academically successful until I realized my grave mistake I had committed throughout life when I turned 11. I used to mug up all concepts and blindly omit my views in the answer sheets. But then I got to know the importance of what I am learning while relating academics with my daily life. This approach allows me to grasp not only the theoretical foundations but also the real-world applications and implications of what I am learning. Furthermore, this preference for conceptual exploration fosters a sense of intellectual independence. Instead of relying solely on rote memorization, I am motivated to cultivate analytical thinking skills and engage in meaningful discussions. I seek to connect new information to existing knowledge, allowing me to build a robust mental framework that supports deeper insights and creative problem-solving.

In practical terms, this trait shapes my learning style and study habits. I am more likely to engage in discussions, seek out additional resources, and apply concepts to real-world scenarios which also help me become a part of friend circles and interact with my teammates. This approach may take more time and effort than memorization, but I find it to be a rewarding and enriching way to internalize knowledge. In relationships and collaborations, my inclination to dig deeper into concepts contributes to my communication style, which indeed also helped me analyze issues present in my personal matters. I have become a potential component of my family while making important decisions during gatherings.  I value discussions that encourage exploration and critical thinking, and I appreciate connecting with individuals who share this passion for intellectual depth.

Ultimately, my interest in digging deeper into concepts is an integral part of understanding me. It is a lens through which I view the world, guiding my learning journey, shaping my perspectives, and driving me to seek a deeper understanding of the complex tapestry of ideas that define our existence.
