A specialist learns by critically examining new content or skills. A good strategy for this is comparison and troubleshooting. After the skeptical approach, he uses repetition, classification systems, and his own categorization for consolidation. Information for reference, laboratory work and individual work (questions), the results of which are recorded in self-written documentation or as tangible models (haptics) are helpful.

Each basic need has a particular way of learning.

The need for security means: When learning, I need peace and quiet. I want to be able to concentrate and work at my own pace. I can also manage with e-learning, but I take notes along the way because that consolidates the knowledge. It’s also good that you can repeat chapters in our program. Compared to others, I need more time to learn. I want to work intensively on it. Writing everything down neatly, drawing pictures to go with it, making models and making sure everything is in good order doesn’t happen so quickly. But in the end, I have something that I can certainly refer back to again and again.

Learning is from the perspective of needing recognition: I like to read or tinker with something. When my computer doesn’t work, I look for errors, usually find them, otherwise I just do some research. In the forums there is always someone who knows something. The best way to find out is by critical comparison. Trying. Testing. Remember the best approach. Keep watching to see if someone finds something better. It’s good if I can read up on the content somewhere, like I used to. Otherwise, I jot down a few keywords for later. Then I check the internet at home for more information and maybe critical comments about it.
