the first law of all learning,especially gestalt learning is the necessity of the learner to"CHURN AND CHUNK" THOSE ACTIONS OR WORDS THAT THE LEARNER WANTS TO LEARN -- it is simple as that and is explained in detail in the book LEARNING AT YOUR FINGERTIPS: USING BRAINPACKAGES IN READING, WRITING AND THINKING by Stephen Hryvniak ( me and the 15,000 learners who "pushed" me in several schools including many summer school remedial schools and tutoring situations. These people for 20 years were the humans who "pushed" me to find a practical human-faced patterned plan for ergonomic use by regular students of all abilities to unlock the mystery of all those "words-in-a-row" of our regular books. regular homework, regular classwork, regular recitations, regular essay work, and most of the other learning jobs facing students. These 15,000 students are the makers and cheeerleaders for this simple plan of LEARNING TO LEARN for students from the comprehension age of 10 (4th grade) -- I like to say this BRAINPACKAGING PLAN is useful for learning from age 10 to 100 to students of all levels of learning.
CHURNING AND CHUNKING IS THE FIRST LAW OF GESTALT LEARNING if you listen to these 15,000 students and teir teacher. Thank you for " churning and chunking these words for your own use.
Sincerely, Stphen Hryvniak
