At any given point in time, our understanding about ourself can be influenced by a range of factors.
Some of these include:

Biography The events in our life that have had an impact on the way we are at the present.
Cognition The processes we use to understand a situation
Information The stimuli that prompt us to action.
Attitudes The beliefs and emotions we have towards particular situations and ourselves.
Values Considerations about worth, usefulness and importance.
Perception The stimulus created in our sensory organs.
Culture The interaction of the location we live and the people we live with the rules that govern them.
Motivation The different drives we have.

 

A competency model of learning

Competency is a term that means ability.
Another way of thinking about competency is an expression of what we have learned.

Three major categories of learning

  • Cognitive learning
  • Psychomotor learning
  • Affective learning

The output from Cognitive learning is what we know - our knowledge.
The output from Psychomotor learning is what we do - our skills.
The output from Affective learning is what we feel - our attitudes.
These attitudes can be traced back to our belief systems or paradigms.
