Abstract

This chapter seeks to provide guidance to learners on what may be for many a new perspective on learning that is different from learning styles developed in 13 years of K-12 education. Strategies such as rote memorization and other passive learning techniques may have been sufficient for K-12 classroom learning, but higher education, workplace, and online learning environments require more active and sophisticated learning strategies. It is the perspective of this chapter that the fundamentally different nature of post-K-12 learning and the constant acceleration of changes in knowledge will force learners to develop a more active and self-directed learning style.
