採取以六識（眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意）為主的學習介面與平台，即用眼觀、用耳聽、用鼻嗅、用舌說、用身行、用意想的方法學習，乃透過前五根（眼、耳、鼻、舌、身）的感官吸收，再透過意根（大腦）來思惟理解。自覺學習是自主學習的延伸，依循自省、自信、自主及自覺等歷程螺旋向上循環。自主學習是自覺學習的基礎，自主是自覺學習中的一個階段。
自覺學習的學習方法乃觀察、傾聽、發表、體驗及省思。其中，觀察可增進學生運用感覺器官覺察外界事物的能力，藉由親自操作與觀察獲得體驗經驗。傾聽可明確區辨訊息的意義與內涵，傳遞接納、關心與尊重，並獲得他人的信任。發表可讓學生展現學習成就、激勵創新突破與邁向自我實現。體驗促成學生展現體驗力、活動力及實踐力，將知識生活化及實踐化，省思促使學生將過去與目前的經驗、體認連結，將情感、思想與行動協調，以產生新的體認和欣賞。

Adopting a learning interface and platform centered on the six consciousnesses（眼耳鼻舌身意）—that is, an approach based on observing with the eyes, listening with the ears, smelling with the nose, speaking with the tongue, acting with the body, and thinking with the mind—learning is carried out first through absorption via the five root senses (sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch), and then continued through the mind (brain), to contemplate and understand.
Insight learning is the extension of self-regulated learning by following a spiraling, circular journey of self-examination, self-confidence, self-regulation and self-consciousness. Self-regulated learning is the foundation of insight learning, and self-regulation is one phase of insight learning.
The methods of insight learning are looking, listening, expression, experience and reflection. Looking can enhance students’ abilities to use their senses to perceive the external environment and obtain experience through hands-on operation and observation. Listening allows students to clearly distinguish the meaning and connotation of messages, leading to acceptance, care and respect, as well as to gain the trust of others. Expression allows students to demonstrate their learning achievements, encourages creative breakthroughs and leads them towards self-realization. Experience facilitates the display of their abilities to experience, act and practice, making knowledge more practical and applicable in daily life. Reflection encourages students to acknowledge and connect their past and present experiences, coordinating emotions, thoughts and actions to produce new realization and appreciation.
