About Learning Framework
Learning Framework is designed to meet the course needs of Alamo Colleges’ EDUC 1300, a seminar for first year experience or college transition students. The book aims to address the evolving challenges and opportunities of today’s diverse students. It highlights resources available to students as they embark on new roads of independence and responsibility. Students will engage in careful self-analysis and research-based strategies to identify their strengths, challenges, and aptitudes. While they explore study skills and learning methods, they are continually asked to apply the concepts in reading, writing, and thinking exercises, which build both a solid base for classroom discussion and a portfolio they can augment throughout their college career. Recognizing the ubiquity of technology and social media, the authors address relevant information and advice where appropriate throughout the text. The material is rooted in motivation, growth-mindset, and resilience; student readers will feel seen and involved as they continually encounter one of the textbook’s core themes: “real-life” doesn’t stop when college starts.
By the end of the course, students will have mapped out a mission statement and career plan that will serve as a guide throughout the semesters to come.
