Habits Of Mine

To my understanding, by definition a problem is any stimulus, question, or task the explanation for which, is not immediately known. With this being said, studies were taken of students performance under challenging circumstances. Studies were also taken on how much students know, but also how to behave when they're unaware of an answer. These studies demand strategic reasoning, insightfulness, perseverance, creativity and craftsmanship.
Due to studies made, Habits of Mind are performed in response to these questions and problems the answers to which aren't immediately known. Habits of Mind means or is having the power or inclination towards behaving intelligently when confronted with problems the answers to which aren't known. To use Habits of Mind, it requires many skills, attitude cues, past experiences, and proclivities. We as people value one pattern or a certain way of doing things over another, which says when we're confronted with a problem, choice making lets you know which pattern or certain way you're used to, to solve the problem. You also have to have sensitivity to contextual cues, something in writing, to signal when a certain pattern should be useful. You should also possess skillfulness to carry through the behaviors effectively overtime in the end as a result of each experience. The behaviors employed should be a reflected upon evaluated and modified and put to use for future applications. The behaviors aren't performed often when you're isolated, but more often when there is a certain situation where numerous behaviors are drawn forth and have to be applied to that situation.
