How we can set meaningful learning intentions?

Firstly, we all must be familiar with the word “intention” and be able to understand its right meaning. So, first we learn what actually is intention?

Learning intention in simple term:

Statements that summarize the goal of a lesson in terms of learning are called "learning intents." What We Are Learning Today, or WALT, is a helpful abbreviation.

The words "know," "understand," or "be able to" are frequently helpful when writing them since they help convey that the learning will relate to information, comprehension, or abilities, respectively.

Reality Check:

We live in a complicated environment with more inputs than our brains can handle. Setting learning intentions allows us to cut through the noise and stay focused on what is particularly essential to us.

Every lesson should have a clear learning objective, whether it is for students to learn something new, to consolidate their learning (via practice or review), or to demonstrate their understanding. Lessons should always be about helping students learn.

When referring to the activities and tasks of the lesson, learning goals should be specific about what students will learn rather than how this learning will be accomplished. For instance, "Complete all of the questions on page 45 of your textbook" is a statement about an action rather than a learning objective. What should be taught should be the focus of learning intentions.

On what ways we should focus?

There are two distinct, nuanced ways that we might define our intentions—our course of action—to enhance both our capacity for learning and our chances of having a good time.

Focus on the journey:

You must frame your desired outcome as a learning intention. Good learning intentions put more emphasis on the experience than the result. Instead than concentrating on a certain goal, they pay attention to

• the process
• finding and investigating new ideas
• growth

Link to meaning:

Link what you are learning to a personal experience that has relevance for you. Making this connection will improve your learning and increase your enjoyment of the process. You could ask yourself the following questions.

• What keeps me motivated when times are tough?
• What gives me a sense of satisfaction and pride?

Differentiate between performance goal and learning intention

Ask Question from yourself…

How should we think about the difference?

Learning Goals:?

Learning goals focus on developing skills and advancing knowledge for professional development. You can set these goals for long-term success rather than short-term accomplishment. Learning intentions are most useful when it’s time to build new skills and knowledge, especially when we are adapting to changes that challenge us to do things differently.

Performance Goals:

Performance goals focus on an outcome. Performance goals are helpful when there is something specific we want to achieve, and we already have the skills or knowledge we need to do so.

When should we use each of them?

We benefit from both performing and learning in various situations and methods. Let's examine how you should approach your performance objectives and learning intentions across the three stages of skill acquisition.

1.????Early:

?When you are initially faced with a new work or issue and are unsure on how to proceed, Set an aim to learn in order to catch up.

2.????Intermediate:

When you have gained some information or abilities and can do a task with some success but still need to learn more, set a mix.

3.????Advance:

Set a performance objective whenever you have achieved total mastery of a new skill or task to put your learning to use.

Ideas for bringing your learning intention to life

• Set a calendar reminder for 2-3 weeks from now and include your learning intentions. So that you may be able to check your progress by yourself.
• Have a coffee chat with your colleague and tell them about your learning intention share your learning with them and see if they have some suggestion for you.
• Check in with your seniors; share some of your intentions and get feedback from them and ask them to share some upcoming opportunities if required.
