learning edge soglia (capacità) di apprendimento Explanation: http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/studentlife/multicultura... When we live in a community filled with people different from ourselves, there are people and interactions that make us more or less comfortable than others. Change and growth happens only when something is perceived to be an issue…an irregularity, a discomfort. We call the edge of our comfort zone the learning edge. When we are on the learning edge, we are most open to expanding our knowledge and understanding – as well as expanding our comfort zone itself. Being on this edge means that we may feel annoyed, angry, anxious, surprised, confused, defensive, or in some other way uncomfortable in response to something someone else has said or done. These reactions are a natural part of the process of expanding our comfort zones, and when we recognize them as such, we can use them as part of the learning process – signaling to us that we are at the learning edge, ready to expand our knowledge and understanding. The challenge is to recognize when we are on a learning edge and then to stay there with the discomfort we are experiencing to see what we can learn. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 min (2011-11-05 20:18:04 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.powerfull-living.biz/blog/2007/06/25/whats-your-l... – what’s your learning edge? What was meant by the question was this: Consider the passions you have for learning. Passions might include: Deepening your skills Personal development Expanding your awareness/enlightenment Attracting prosperity Building more meaningful relationships Having more joy Making a difference in the world Have you noticed that the list above might also be a person’s core values? Learning edges stretch us to be our best. Learning edges can encompass both strengths and challenges. They are places in our lives where we bump up against people or things. They invite us to step out of our comfort zones; to push beyond barriers so that we become more than we are. |
