Transforming the Way We Think and Learn

In the article "Transformative College Literacy of Literate Black Women Peer Counselors" by Robin Wisniewski, the word perception was used throughout to describe literacy.  This article is a study of perception and the transformation teachers and students make throughout their growth in literacy. 

Perception is donated as " the act or faculty of apprehending by means of the senses or of the mind; cognition; understanding."  This article went into detail about the way we as learners perceive.  We all have a different way of understanding the things we are taught.  Also, the way the teacher perceives the lesson is the way students learn.  However, it is up to the teacher and the student to work together to transform the way we think and learn.

The way we think and learn?  Well, we all are taught different ways to learn throughout elementary and secondary school.  As an adult, we sometimes choose the way we want to learn and develop different habits of practice and studying.  Moreover, everyone thinks differently.  However, we change the way we think all of the time.  Without change, there is no growth.  

The more we learn the more we think!
