How do we Learn?

Section Comment apprend-on ?  of www.savoiretcroire.ca, presents an essay written in an attempt to better understand how in fact we do learn. This article has for title, Apprendre : de l’abécédaire à la redéfinition de soi ! (pdf, 28 p.), which in translation would basically mean, Learning: from ABCs to redefining oneself. I attempted to come to a general understanding of theories used as foundation in teaching methodologies, and as reference in instructional or educational design. This essay can also be accessed on DistanceS, Téluq, fall 2007, volume 9, number 1.

Being made aware of David Kolb's experiential learning, as it is presented at http://learningfromexperience.com, may help us in understanding that the learning styles with which we are most comfortable may influence the way in which each of us most naturally approaches studying the Bible, as exemplified in the following video interviews from http://ca.100huntley.com (Videos -> Interviews -> Search Videos):
