LML Theoretical Basis
The LML Process® is an advanced learning system that provides learners with the means to articulate who they are as a learner, and then guides teachers in developing the learning environment necessary for students to employ their personal learning strategies with intention. Learners who are a part of this advanced learning system learn to intensify, modify, or forge the use of their learning processes into a working partnership with their teachers and peers (Johnston, 2002).
The theoretical basis of the Let Me Learn Process is the Interactive Learning Model© (Johnston, 1994). The Interactive Learning Model depicts the simultaneous interactions of cognition, conation, and affectation (Snow, 1992) within our mental processing as four synchronous patterns (Sequence, Precision, Technical reasoning, and Confluence). These patterns represent how the learner sees the world, takes in stimuli, integrates the stimuli and formulates a response to it. The Interactive Learning Model is based upon research conducted in cognitive science, brain science, and multiple intelligences (Allport, 1961; Bruer, 1997; Gardner, 1983; Johnston, 1996; Keefe & Ferrell, 1990; McClean, 1978; Pay, 1981; Perkins, 1993; Philip, 1936; Snow & Jackson, 1992; Sternberg, 1996).
