The Learning Model

The learning model for LDS Business College is based on basic gospel principals. Its philosophy is, therefore, found all throughout the standard works of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The fundamental parts to the learning model are (1) the Spirit and its role in the learning process between teacher and student; (2) Understanding core concepts and developing lifelong skills; and (3) Preparing, Teaching one another then pondering and proving. The model reminds me of a scripture from the Book of Mormon in 1 Nephi 3:7. It says, "I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that he giveth no commands to his children, except he shall prepare a way that they may accomplish the thing which he hath commanded them." In this scripture we learn that in anything the Lord commands us to do we are promised the needed help to make our weaknesses strengths. First though we must prepare so that we can be worthy of his spirit in the learning process. Also we must share the light and knowledge we receive or "it will be taken even that which [we] have." (D&C 60: 3). Then we must ponder and prove so as to continue to be worthy of and prepared for his continued guidance.
