An Introduction

A little learning is a dang'rous thing;
Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring;
There shallow draughts intoxicate the brain,
And drinking largely sobers us again.
- Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism, Part II

This is a blog about my learning project about all things related to learning. Few months ago a friend of mine decided to start his own learning project - he told me exitedly about how he would learn and evaluate his learning purposefully. It did seem interesting project back then and now that I have more energy left for random projects I decided to imitate him. Of course I will do things my way - I will randomly compare my progress to my friends progress and I will comment once in a blue moon his different goals as reason our different progress in our endeavour.
I'm a student of the human nature and I aim to describe hopefully a succesful process of learning about my learning process. My apporach is first to describe how I see my current understanding and to explain it in psychological vocabulary - then I will try to explain relevant studies in psychology, cognitive science and learning sciences. I will also try to improve conception of my learning based on what I read and describe. If this strategy seems somewhat meta-ish there is a reason for that - I love everything meta.
In my next post I will explicate my goals for this blog as a continuing process of goal directed learning.
