I find it so much easier to learn with others. so for me, using cooperative in the 5 characteristics of meaningful learning, this one means a little more.

You can not only bounce ideas off of each other but learn other ones too. everyone thinks differently so to have other people to bounce off of you can see things from a different light.

I use this is everything in life not only for school but soccer too. When doing a drill or coming up with plays I talk it through with teammates or classmates.

For me, instead of learning with examples in a textbook, I need to learn by doing or learn by real life experience or examples.

For instance in chemistry class, we didn't just learn about an experiment, we went and did it, to break it down and understand it.

Having goals is important when learning, doesn't matter what you are learning; In soccer, in school, in life... you are always trying to achieve something and that is my mindset when learning something new or teaching.

I try to set mini goals to achieve like doing well on a test and studying very hard for it, or making good plays in soccer after practicing passing that week. just little goals, that will eventually mean a lot in the bigger picture

In school, when I am being told directions, in order to be constructive I reread and say back what I am told, so that I can fully understand what I am learning.

I try to make sense of what I am trying to learn or what I am trying to do.

I am a very visual learner, so for me when learning a new drill for soccer practice, I like to see it first and then I can understand it better.

For school, reading the directions is far easier to learn then to hear about them.
