W04 Application Activity: Learning Plan
Overview
This week, much of your Life Skill Lesson was focused on Learning Strategies and the power they have to improve your
learning process. Your Application Activity this week will invite you to identify something about your learning that you
might have a fixed mindset about-- something you fear might get in the way of your success in reaching your educational
goals.
You will then be invited to select one of the six Learning Strategies (i.e. acting on the promptings of the Holy Ghost,
making your brain work hard, using distributed learning, creating clues, asking good questions, teaching to learn) or one
of the five principles of the Learning Model (i.e. exercise faith, teach by the spirit, lay hold on the word of God, take
action, and love, serve, and teach) that you learned about this week and use it to develop a Learning Plan designed to
help you achieve your educational goals.
Instructions
In your W02 Application Activity, you had the opportunity to answer this question: Why am I enrolled in
PathwayConnect? A natural follow-up to that question might be the following: What do I hope to achieve as a result of
my enrollment in PathwayConnect?
Step 1

Step 2
To complete the second part of this activity, answer the reflection questions below (see next page):
1. How do you plan to apply the Learning Strategy or Learning Model principle you selected to your learning next
week? What specific steps do you intend to take? (3-4 sentences)
I have to be more committed to a specific time every day to study and learn Pathways Connect. I need to devote two
hours daily towards my studies. I will draw up a timetable for studies. By doing this I will have time to ponder each
assignment and take notes for my journal. This will help me to remember things I learn and study better. As I do this
daily I will form good learning habits that will ensure I strengthen my weakness.
2. How will you measure your success in that application (i.e. how will you know if you made progress toward
reaching your overall goal)? (1-2 sentences)
At the end of every study period for the day I will record and measure my success in my Learning Journal by reviewing
my achievements for the day and what improvements I can make the following day.
