  Do you remember what it was like to sit in a classroom? Rows of desks and chairs faced the teacher at the front of the room. Your job as a student was to be quiet, listen to the teacher, and do what you were told. This is an example of teacher-centered learning, usually involving children, called pedagogy. Adult Learning Adult learners have a different approach to learning. By the time you reach adulthood, you’re most likely responsible for your own success and you’re perfectly capable of making your own decisions once you have the information you need. Adults learn best when learning is focused on adult students, not on the teacher. This is called andragogy, the process of helping adults learn. The Differences Malcolm Knowles, a pioneer in the study of adult learning, observed that adults learn best when: They understand why something is important to know or do. They have the freedom to learn in their own way. Learning is experiential.​ The time is right for them to learn. The p...

  There are seven continents in the world and Asia is the largest, and according to land-mass, Australia is the smallest at almost a fifth of the size of Asia, but Europe is not far behind as it has just over a million more square miles than Australia. The measurement of Australia is just shy of three million square miles, but this includes the major island continent of Australia as well as surrounding islands, which are collectively referred to Oceania. As a result, if you’re judging size compared to population, Australia ranks number two with just over 40 million residents in all of Oceania (which includes New Zealand). Antartica, the least populated continent in the world, only has a few thousand researchers that call the frozen wasteland their home. How Small Is Australia by Land Area and Population? In terms of land area, the continent of Australia is the world’s smallest continent. In total, it includes 2,967,909 square miles (7,686,884 square kilometers), which is slightly s...

  Have you heard of the concept of a limiting belief? It’s exactly as it sounds. Often, we are held back by our own thoughts. The mental prison we find ourselves in is of our own making. We stop ourselves from achieving our own potential, often without realizing we are the ones to blame. I think writers are particularly prone to this. Often, we are thoughtful people with active minds. This is a blessing and a curse. The same mind that allows us to create our work can hinder us from reaching our full potential. Almost every writer I’ve spoken to has experienced one or more of the following limiting beliefs. In an effort to help you smash through your limitations, I’d love to share my tips on overcoming them. I’m Not Good Enough To Write Is there a writer alive who hasn’t experienced serious levels of doubt? If there is, I’ve yet to meet them! It’s common to doubt your ability as a writer.

  The three types of essay most commonly assigned in school — the narrative essay, the persuasive essay, and the expository essay — conveniently correspond to those writing forms most frequently published online and in print. Your experience with these prose forms is ideal preparation for writing for publication. 1.  The Narrative Essay This form, employed when reporting about an event or an incident, describing an experience, or telling a story, is the basic mode in journalistic writing. Practice in relating what happened when you witnessed an occurrence, or writing about what you were told by someone who witnessed it, is good training for becoming a newspaper reporter. Writing your recollections of something that happened to you is the basis of travel writing and similar content. Meanwhile, effective storytelling is an essential skill for feature writing, which — as opposed to reporting, which is event driven — focuses on a person, a place, or a thing, such as a company or a...

  Unlike compulsions and addictions, which are acted out consciously and uncontrollably, habits are actions that are repeated regularly and automatically. For example, although we may be aware that we are brushing our teeth, we almost never wonder why we are doing it or ask ourselves, “Should I be brushing my teeth or not?” Habits typically develop over time through a natural process called “habituation,” during which repetitive actions that must be consciously initiated eventually become subconscious and are carried out habitually without specific thought. For example, while as children, we may need to be reminded to brush our teeth, we eventually grow to do it as a matter of habit. Good habits, like tooth-brushing, are behaviors that are consciously and intentionally added to our routines in order to maintain or improve our health or general wellbeing. While there are good habits and bad, unhealthy habits, any habit can become a compulsion or even an addiction. In other words, yo...

  A compulsive behavior is an action that a person feels “compelled” or driven to do over and over again. While these compulsive actions may appear to be irrational or pointless, and may even result in negative consequences, the individual experiencing the compulsion feels unable to stop him or herself. Key Takeaways: Compulsive Behavior Compulsive behaviors are actions a person feels driven or compelled to do repeatedly, even if those actions appear to be irrational or pointless. A compulsion is different from an addiction, which is a physical or chemical dependence on a substance or behavior. Compulsive behaviors can be physical acts, like repetitive hand washing or hoarding, or mental exercises, like counting or memorizing books. Some compulsive behaviors are symptomatic of the psychiatric condition called Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Some compulsive behaviors can be harmful when practiced to an extreme. The compulsive behavior can be a physical act, like hand washing or...

  Your assignment is to write a research paper. Do you know how a research paper differs from other papers, say an essay? If you have been out of school a while, make sure you understand the assignment before you waste time you don’t have. We’ll walk you through the process in 10 steps.  1.  Select Your Topic The first place to start is selecting a topic. You may have guidelines from your teacher and a list of choices, or you may have a broad field from which to choose. Either way, choose a topic that lights your fire. If you can’t find a topic for which you have a passion, choose the one you’re at least interested in. You’re going to be spending some time on the topic. You may as well enjoy it. Depending on how long your paper must be, it’s also important to choose a topic that’s big enough to fill that many pages. 2. Make a List of Possible Questions Now that you have a topic, be curious about it. What questions do you have? Write them down. What do you wish you kn...
