ADVANCED LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES BY EBEN
How to learn and teach part 1 Village, a boy orphan. Had strange capabilities…know when storm they ll come. Old lady in village took charge of young boy. Teach him how to find medicinal plants to help people who were old and sick The lady told him its time to leave village…go away from village. Continue your journey she told me. So he packed his things and said goodbye to everyone…he walked and find a place to rest and then walk second day and came to great forest. Found another place to sleep , woke up the other day and hope he could find the old match. He saw smoke from road. He saw a house and smoke coming out. He saw a man. And ask him behind him… But the old man said welcome I was expecting you. The boy was surprised. Why you came? I ve come because the lady told me you ll teach me magic Whats your name? don’t have a real name , they call me the little one. So lets learn: I seek to know in order to serve. Can you teach me magic? That will depend on 4 things Purity of intent Focus of your will Level of awareness Quality of your character
What are we going to learn: How to learn and how to teach?
Why? Most of us are knowledge workers A four yr processor will work on a todays computer. You wont notice difference if you do that and work on browser or word processing. Why? Because processor speed is way ahead of all other devices on the computer Same with brain: once you enter data in brain you can do whatever you want, mix, innovate etc But b4 we need to crunch data, need to use words and symbols to put in the mind. We cant upload it in brains. Getting in data is inefficient process. So lets get better with learning and teaching . its about time Learning and teaching are the currency of the future. This is where the leverage is. Teaching as an individual group company. Leverage exists in learning (in future) 2 great enemies in learning: 1)
I know that , pride, preprogramming, self doubt fear. (what others say)
Now 1)
I knew that - mentality (and eben asks them did you know that?) Uspensky wrote a book the psychology of man poss evolution. The big challenge that I face when I teach , you wont believe what you are hearing is new. So you will interpret is as something old you ve read b4. U need to learn skills u don’t know but you think you know. When you think you know something, brain shuts down no info getting in. Stay open.
2)
I disagree-
Why? Doesn’t it seem important to discovery to many things? Its been important , but we need to evolve pass I DISAGREE Value creators are high difference people- they see how things are different not how they are the same…they are mismatchers… Einstein said something important – relativity…all we have is our perspective…all perspective are partial perspectives.we cant never see the whole picture So when we disagree , most of the time, we are closing our mind and cant learn something new. How knowledge evolves: first comes an idea a hypothesis….then they try to work on idea. Then someone comes with the antithesis… and then they fight who is right and they are ugly fights and then another man comes and say you are both right, they do a synthesis… A higher order perspective… And then someone else and then another synthesis is created by another generation. SEEK SYNTHESIS. When you find that you are disagreeing, and its childish, stop and say what part that I am hearing is new, a paradigm shift and how can I combine what I know with this and get a win win sitn?
For this program stay open and leave these two obstacles outside… Say I am open and seeking synthesis.
Tony robbins: never believe anything too much where always there is a sitn which is not true.
Stay to 50% for every belief! So far no idea or principle cannot go to another level. Don’t be attached to beliefs… some people are very attached to beliefs and they are emotional. Eben job: to get people outside their comfort zone. Wyatt: why outside of CZ? Why important? Why are we here? (wyatt) Learning and teaching seminar…you want to learn how to teach and learn better. No power , no control, ineffective. But if you learn many things due to good mechanisms – then you teach others and pass knowledge … and become powerful . No methods, no skills, no success, failing – Learn rapid, -- succeed - expand horizons, go to new sitns and learn fast – do amazing things – and pass them on to other people - and students do even better things. No learning? No value to conversation – there is no person – didn’t want to be with them…- not popular. Learning easy and fast –interesting and exciting and people wanted to be with them… and people got excited to learn from them. YOU CANT HELP SOMEONE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT THEY WANT. If someone says I want 3 things, then its easy to achieve them. You do these 3 things. But some people say I can t do these because it wouldn’t be me. Exactly! You are going to change if you want change. You cant change with magic bullets. It doesn’t work that way. You need to become NOT ME Your friends don’t want you NOT ME. They cant control you anymore. So you need to change. You need assistance to achieve that. Leave the old me outside and come inside with the new me.
Keys to change: systematicly outrageous…what u want to be is a little bit crazy, Adv of being crazy? Everyone will say oh he is crazy so what do you expect? U get so much fun! Try not to BE ME. So push youself - to edge… because learning begins when you go out of your cz Wyatt is a beh modeler – they see what good people do and transfer abilities to other people He model a person who makes people learn lang in 5 days. Model: capture and encode and transfer. First 2 easy. 3rd is hard, so he started learning about how to teach. So he model teaching! One of the best ways to learn is to teach. Two sides of the same thing.. What makes a good learner? Teacher? Why someone gets data and other gets nothing? Where does it start? Skills start b4 you goto classroom. Rules of learning: 1.
You cant know everything there is to know Selective therefore about what we learn.
2.
I cant remember. Why do we forget?
3.
Key to learning is not where u think is . its not remembering . its forgetng what don’t need to know…so select what you learn. Because things occupy time and energy…so stay focus to things you want to know. And master that. What is it we need to know? The answer is diff for each one. How do we determine ? it depends on where we are going and
what we want to get out of life. Life gives us experiences (some good some destructions) In order to know what we need to learn, need to be v clear where we are going and what we want and who we are. Learning allows us to get into destination. Doesn’t say what destination. You need to decide the destination So be clear about outcomes and what wil help you to get there.
So what do we need to learn? Depends on who we are?
Write down where is it your going? Your purity of intent. Most things just happen to us. So one of the first things is to live for purpose. For reasons. So whats the intent ? the goal? The destination/ When you do that, you are going to filter all things you see around you.
WHERE ARE YOU GOING? WHAT YOU WANT? FROM LIFE? FOR THE NEXT 10 YEARS? 5 YRS? 3 YRS?
SO WHERE AM I GOING? •
I want to become an expert in teaching and learning and help others to learn effectively and teachers to teach effectively
•
I want to be the best man in Cyprus who knows about learning about teaching, about human behavior.
•
I want to change the way people think and behave , if their actions are not in line with what is good for them
•
I want to become an expert in Europe on teaching learning teenagers, kids behavior.
•
I want to be an expert in seminars. A seminar should be exciting, funny, engaging, fruitful.
•
I want to create seminars about teaching, learning, psychology.
•
I want to become like eben pagan.
Part 2 When we say what we want , frequently we are vague NLP Rules Know your outcome Have sensory curity to see if you are getting your outcome Have flexibility to move around till you get what u want Take action now Most people don’t know what they want So start have reasons/ purpose man been in conc camp – he saw people dying. And asked himself – what can I do as a psychiatrist to help people in this camp? He asked …what am I control of ?how I respond to what happens to me…they cant take away from him… so he create logo therapy if we have a why to live, we can live with almost any how. So make sure what the destination is…don’t get destructed. REDO YOUR GOALS TO MAKE IT CLEAR. 3 CRITICAL CONSIDERATIONS 1 . Always state what u want not what u don’t want. Needs to be in the positive 2. needs to have a sensory evidence procedure
How would you know you are getting it? What are you going to see hear touch smell when you get it? Don’t do it vague 3. Appropriate contextualize it… under specific circumstances… so when specifically do you want them? Redo my goals 1. become an expert in teaching learning and cognitive behavior of teenagers and adults 2. start doing seminars, teachers want to talk to me about their kids, I have my own company. 3. I have appointments with kids, with parents. I go to tv programs. I have my website with great info on how to teach and learn. 4. I am wearing a jean and a shirt and a jacket and I am waking up, and I go to my office. I read and I study and I love my job. I goto seminars around the world, I do seminars… I teach what I learned … people see me as an expert in the field of teaching learning and cognitive behavior. 5. I want to see these results in 5 years. In 2018. 6. I have no belly, I am eating healthy 6 times a week. I woke up early and do athletics 7. I have a house 400 sq m… with futsal court. 8. I have a room full of books and a huge pc.i have two kids. 9. I have created 15 seminar slides and I have been talking to more than 500 people in the same seminar room. 10. I became the man of the year 2018. 11. I am in the cover of ICON magazine. 12. when I am doing a seminar I am so relaxed is like am doing a class lecture with class 4
IF YOU KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING, they learn fast and easy and rapidly. Why is it important to know your outcome? Your brain is a learning machine. And we get in the way! By not givin it the conditions to do it efficiently. Too much info comin in…whereas previously, less info was used, and easier to get outcomes we wanted. So find the outcome and the brain is ready ..is activated to learn automatically Story: car dealership – you have an outcome… 3 hrs there and then you leave. 3 people goin to user car dealership 1) to get a deal 2) to learn sales techniques 3) to learn how people get ripped off If you go for a deal, do you think you will learn sales techniques? NO Insurance salesperson to learn sales techniques… he is not even interested in the car… they want the salesman to hit them with sales techniques…. So different outcome different learning. BE SPECIFIC WITH OUTCOME Radiate divine love- hug 150 people…the one is qualitative the other is quantitative. So be specific your outcome… what is it exactly? Can I seeit? When you know what exactly you need, things emerge. U see the world differently… Session 2 part 1 Unconscious incompetence: things that we don’t know that we don’t know
Goto a bookstore and check magazines on topics you know nothing about it! ! this shows that you are incompetent on things that people actually write articles, have hobbies about So step 1 , is to move from unconious incompetence to conscious incompetence. We know we are stupid and ignorant, Next stage is conscious competence. Uncionious competence- you don’t need to think about it. You just do it Eg learning to drive car 1. don’t know what u don’t know 2. then you start driving – conscious incompetence 3. then you learn and you conscious competence - you pay attention to everything you do…slow down check signals 4. and then you drive without thinking –no awareness – daydream – fantasize Don’t get affected by other people wants Society always tell u what u want…its called advertising Listen to your own voice What we want is partially affected by what we thk we can hve- so most of our limitations are in our mind So low aspirations affect what we want! We are programmed! Don’t lower your aspirations…why? Parents always say you cant have this you cant have that…so the things we love we are programmed that we cant have. Parents also say its not good for you. Founder of nlp – torpilo method--- create seminars and tell people tell me what you want…I ll give it to you…just tell me.
He stopped because people wanted mundane tedious things, not outrageous things … Stop the programming! From parents friends gfriends media We limit ourselves when we think of what we want Most people see where they are and then think where to go. NO. start where you gonna go and see what y have to do to go there Strategic navigation is that: decide where y wann be…so no restrictions and then find the process This is called futuring. We limit our greatness , limit our aspirations because we are programmed. We always think of cause and effect . that’s why we see where we are and then decide where to go NO don t do that. The outcome creates the movement to go there. A LEADER HAS A VISION Passionate about this. I have a dream… I have a vision, a power , a picture. Its not logic not reason. A powerful img full of emotions . people get inspired by this. If we get outcome, we scan envi for relative info. Important Clear visions create causes. If you had the vision , then everything will happen now to cause that vision Smart people can create visions. Because they are very logic with present sitn. They look for causes to see the outcome. Schools – mind prisons - the educational system> no the dis educational system
CREATIVITY Children are born with curiosity – they ask questions they scan things… parents say don’t bother me… leave me alone… so kids find out that questions makes adults angry and adults don’t consider them important their questions, Curiosity is powerful drive. Need to water it and sustain . schools kill it! Bad 1: standardised curriculum for each one. Sit still and shut up – that’s torture. Don’t ask questions – its not about you its about what I need to teach you Even prisoners have lawyers to defend them…kids don’t have any Left there at mercy Learning in school is memorizing! Need to find out what teacher thinks is important and tell them about these! So although there are ways to teach faster and efficient n effective, they are utilize WE NEED TO GET ANGRY! There are so many things that out there and are not used. Even if we are sure that the new method will help the system its amazing how the system turns its back on us. 911 – bush- school Education – people think that when you have edu you are goint to succeed in life The great lie: edu allows you to succedd in life, get a great job That’s part true. Rich people not educated and vice versa. Always teacher say study hard work hard, they never say fun or easy. Kids are not stupid… they see around. They realise that there is a lie here. Edu is not the only which is important
Goleman talks about emo intelligence is more affecting success than iq E INTELLIGENCE – NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOUR HEART FEELS …. calibrate your emotions – learn where you areCONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS, CALIBRATE OTHER PEOPLE EMOTIONS -
INFLUENCE OTHER PEOPLE S EMOTIONS in every area is high emo intelligence. Research shows: high emo intell = success No schools for E Intellig. Noone ends up learning this ! Insanity! U only get info and info! 911 Bush sitting in classroom. Johnson the president of us started a war on poverty he asked why? Why so much poverty? And he realized that many poor people were uneducated. System is not fair… left behind. And condemned for rest of life to be poor But we spend money on educ. The soln was to find out what works and what not. Project follow through – a study huge study on education to find out whats going on Largest study on edu on earth. They search 3 approaches to teaching
1st approach- self esteem build… when they have self esteem they study and learn Sec approach – cognitive models- top down – so teach them higher order thinking skills till basics… so focus on higher level 3rd : basic skills model- readin writing lang and arithmetic and build on these In movies its easy to change kids in ghetto not in reality So they try these and check performance and find out data and then crunch data Results: effective model did not work – self esteem don’t work – they didn’t even incr self esteem Top down ? min results – didn’t work either Only approach that work was the bottom up appro – One method was direct instruction …his name was zigfield igelman was the developer He created a method… Who is blamed? The children! They are the victims and the parents are blamed and then the teachers… and the school system… Igelman philosophy – if the student didn’t learn the teacher didn’t teach. Iq doesn’t make difference or poverty background …. If taught appropriately then all children will learn Direct instruction was teacher centred. In the bush movie, the teacher is tapping in the board. Children are reading a word every time she taps. So bush was there to see whether this method was indeed successful Direct instruction – who didn’t like it? The teachers! We are not free to destroy their brains!
Some said, this is fabulous…we don’t need lesson plans. Most of them said we don’t like it Direct instruction has been shown that it’s the best method but no one uses it! Its not a result we were are expecting. Problem: people hate school, and it doesn’t have to happen! It’s a ma tter of time when business will take control of education – why? Because they prepare for the business world! Most business re teach people from scratch on how to do things. Part 2 the disedu system In s Arabia they wen to employers – and ask them are u satisfied from schools? 40 things businesses wanted…the least important was the academic abilities Honesty integrity creativity and other things not developed in school… Busineses wanted to start a program so that they have these skills when they finish school We live in society which is insane! So need to work only with things that work! Nothing else Sit still and shut up? Wrong . any alternative ? Need to re learn . The Future Of Learning The Michel Thomas Method: Freeing Minds One Person At A Time[Paperback] book How People Learn: Expanded Edition: Brain, Mind, Experience and School [Paperback] 1. Teachers must draw out and work with the preexisting understandings that their students bring with them 2. creating classroom tasks and conditions under which student thinking can be revealed. Students’ initial conceptions
then provide the foundation on which the more formal understanding of the subject matter is built. 3. Tests must assess understanding 4. Superficial coverage of all topics in a subject area must be replaced with in-depth coverage of fewer topics that allows key concepts in that discipline to be understood Many curricula fail to support learning with understanding because they present too many disconnected facts in too short a time—the “mile wide, inch deep” problem
4 KEYS TO LEARNING: Critical importance of pre existing knowledge- the problem is what you know that’s wrong not what you don’t know. Kids are not blank ! ready to learn! No… Tv destroys kids… Iq scores declined the last 50 yrs.
CREATIVITY If u want kids to get smarter, they need to practice basics…reading for example…to create imgs not just see imgs, u need to create imgs. Create imgs? Creativity and intelligence correlate. Method of articulation and description – best way to develop iq Get the kid to fantasize… and then describe it…visualise it. So fantasize it, describe it and parent ask questions and kids describe even better. . SO PRACTICE creating imgs … ( by reading)
That’s what iq measures. (ideas from tv, friends , parents are all bad for our learning) You’ve got to be carefully taught - family makes us all the same with family – y get the pre existing ideas from family So need to find out these ideas that we need to relearn and change them What u know and understand you l l never forget What is understand? To assimilate knowledge , to match know with experience. Formula -- underst= know+ being If it matches our being , then we don’t forget it In todays world = too much info and few experience Knowledge is easy to transfer but understanding is hard to transfer due to different experiences
Song you ve got to be carefully taughtGertzef has a story Monastery story – Meeting with remarkable men – movie – see it Two wise monks. Different religions in monasteries – Brotheroz and brother says. (2 wise monks) Everyone was excited when they are coming Brother says- was an elegant speaker Btother oz- old move slowly- difficult to be heard. 2 different effects Brother says – speech was like honey
Oz was confusing – But brother says was great at the time but when he was leaving, you couldn’t remember anything specific on what he said whereas bother oz , the more you think about it, the better a person you become Impact on the moment not in future The other no impact on the time of lecture but big impact as people grow … So why was that? Confusing and having a big effect? Why? The bro says - Because transmission from head to head- didn’t have experience – excited by the idea – but disappear after a while when idea disappeared. Brother oz- came from his heart- experiences his- what was meaningful to him So he contact the hearts of audience… So make knowledge ours – how ? match it with our experiences If we don’t match knowl with experiences- we cant understand it Don’t believe anything because I say so or because eben says so…believe it if it matches your experience. If not- keep looking at things that match your experience That’s why edu system is crap- focus on memorizing not on match knowl with experi
TEACH THEM HOW TO LEARN B4 – stay with one job Now you have to change jobs learn new skills so a great skill to have is how to learn Fish and fishing metaphor for learning and content Wyatts idea of edu system: learn 4 languages fluently – learn how to learn. TRANSFER PROBLEM
SKILLS in school do not prepare students for business life Short and long transfer learning Short transfer – follow the procedure eg word 2010 if word changes in 2014 then learn the procedure again Far transfer- how it works – so even if the procedure changes, I know how it works so I can find out how it works even if procedure changes So give people the understanding! So they can learn by themselves. State dependent learning- the state you are in when you study plays a role when you sit an exam. So if you are studying dating techniques its good to listen to acid rock since next day when you go clubbing you will hear acid rock and you will remember dating techniques.
CREATE VISION AND ARTICULATE (CREATE AND EXPRESS) CREATE ARTICULATE A lot of people are going around waiting for the instructions on what to do. If you check your emails 30 minutes after u wake up you are a sheepo Is like saying- you wake up and you say who is got an agenda for me? Social proof- weapon of influence - you don’t know what to do? They see others – Most of people they look around of what others are doing…. We have lost ability to create in our minds… 4 ARGUMENTS FOR THE ELIMINATION OF TELEVISION – BOOK Reading is a powerful way to create fantasy and vision in your mind and then express it. Tv? Makes you a piece of shit.
Transformation – Transformation: The Life and Legacy of Werner Erhard Watch the extras Feinman – physicist- talk with werner One inside: some things you can only learn by creating them… So create your vision and express it. Curiosity is crashed to many people and they don’t even know it! ITS LIKE A MIND PRISON
Create a specific in context measurable thing that could make the world better. SHOW TO TEENAGERS HOW TO: Become more confident Learn how to learn Learn about psychology and how they fool themselves How others fool them How to utilise their brains for the best Money management ----- I will create seminars in hotels , whereas students will be professional looking guys expecting a high quality seminar from me. I can see myself talking on tv, radio, and telling them about how to help teenagers… QUANTITATIVE GOALS 1.
I have a seminar with 500 people listening to me.
2.
I have a tv program invite me to talk about my seminars
3.
I am getting 10000 euros per month due to seminars.
4.
I am seeing people talking about me and how I have changed their lives…
5.
People want to talk to me to advice them for their kids
I ve been to the future 20 yrs from now… there is one improvementSmart phones let you know where your friends are. Schools will be teaching humor and I will be a teacher of humor.
I can see myself in a class teaching people how to make others laugh. Am waking up and I go to a school where I teach people 3 hrs a day on how to be more humorous People are now creating things … most people are in the creating business… most things are computerised…no need for human interaction so people are now not knowledge workers but wisdom workers… trying to make things better. Things more effective more efficient… People realise the importance of creativity , of creation, of imagination of humor of creating stories…
Eben talks about kids carrying water for 4 hrs. So it doesn’t tell them how to feel about their visions..he says his, about water and hard to find …and then let them do their own
So if you give a story to someone and then let them to donate 1 dollar … its much different than just ask for a dollar. Same with us.if the story we tell ourselves is compelling, then we are going to be more motivated to become what we want.
Getting yourself motivated with creatinv vision and then articulating that vision to yourself – extreme. The other extreme is commiting suicide.
Learning hierarchy part 1
if you don’t know where you are what diff does it make where u r going? Purity of intent Focus of your will Level of awareness – around them and in them Quality of character –
Magic- power- responsibility
Learning hierarchy 1.
Data - doubling every week
2.
Information - data relevant to an outcome – describes somthg. Most data is irrelevant to us…meaningless. If we have goals, then some data is relevant. It inform us for somhg.
3.
Knowledge- organised infor- instryctions on how to achieve goalshow other achieve their goals.
4.
a.
Info is good but its better if we put them in a system. Powerful because there is a framework- to take decisions. Need to do synthesis. Put puzzle together
b.
We have to organise info…
Understanding – knowl +being a.
Once we understand we explain. Why it works…
5.
6.
b.
Help people learn ? need to make them understand
c.
So we need experience not only knowl
Wisdom a.
Of choices
b.
Of value judgments- how we are goin to spend out time and energy
c.
Wisdom 0 choousing the right thing not only logic and reason but value
d.
Ultimate thing to gain
e.
Effectiveness
So what do we need to learn? a.
WISDOM!
If knowledge by itself , its of little value…its just somthg someone said. If you get experience too, then you gain it , its yours…
The 80/20 rule- pareto principle – fundamental rule for living life. 80% of your results comes from 20% of your effort. So most things you do is waste of time!
Modelling 95% of results comes from 5% of efforts! These are for experts! So if you model the whole thing that experts do, 95% of it is bshit. Need to find the 5% which is the gold
Schools makes you memorize meaningless data! FUCK! The mind prison , the schools just give the data. Tragic waste of human energy- not fun – destrous creativity and motivation for learning So now we are in the google step- we can just have the information not anything above that. Some teachers go to knowledge- organising info but not a very good job made. Schools don’t do understanding – not focus on experience - to change knowl to underst. If you go to business school – then you don’t get any experience…need to work for 3-5 years b4 you go to bus school . need exp to blend them with knowledge and get understanding. Wisdom don’t even know anyting about it. – decisions are formed not by data but by value by wisdom…and schools know jack about it As we go down the hierarchy, there is less and less of it…wisdom very few… data infinite Need to make sure that our memory has the correct things in, the things we need to achieve our goal, to take the bad things out, and organise the things we put FIRST learn what not to learn
So FOCUS THEN ORGANISE
LOGICAL LEVELS OF LEARNING Gregory baidson - cybernetics The study of control mechanismes in machine and people Man machines operators automatic operators
Feedback is important Feedback loop B4 – we open the doors/ windows to control temp Now we have feedback loop - climate control. Why we say that? Feedback also applies to humans
So memorizing data is not learning--- our beh in future will different from the past –this is learning If something is not working, people are doing the sec step…try harder. But what we need is to try sometng else. Its not force that drives the world its variety that drives the worls Requisite variety So how will your beh be different ? this is learning .
Learning equals behaviour change.
AS KNOWL COMES IN, YOU NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PICTURE IN YOUR MIND HOW YOUR BEH WILL BE DIFFERENT. AND THEN SET UP THE CONDITIONS TO DO THAT
Change is an ongoing process. Without change there is no learning What did you learn ? outstanding question to ask if they go through something in life
LOGICAL LEVELS 0 – MECHANICAL memorization 0 simply stimulus response – feedback? How was it? It was good /bad 1-
Applied learning – coaching is applied – try this not that …that’s the kind of feedbackyou get fro applied
2-
Learning how to learn- modelling – changing the system itself…feedback: what was the lesson? Be aware of learning – reflect…what is the pattern we have discover?
Education - to draw out from within …its not tell. Its to draw out from another person. Learning hierarchy - session 3 part 2 Level 3 – never have an experience Learning how to learn how to learn- wow Its meta meta- epistemology. Train people how to train people.
There are 2 ways to grow – Translation – elaborate you create complex forms of where you are Vertical change: evol change- start doing things in different waystransformation Enemy of transformation is good translation Eg tsekouri you make it better . that’s translation. Makalok invention is transformation So the question you need to ask after training is ---what did you learn and then is how are you learning? What if you learn about how you learn? Meta meta…level 3… Learning how to learn is a good step but learning how to learn how to learn is the best. Tricks is level 1--- level 2 and 3 is not on the internet…doesn’t go to another level To go to 2 and 3- need to change the way you think. Of you go to 2 and 3, you wont need teachers anymore – you ll be independent
So are we creating conformists? People who are told what to do? Or creativists? Greatest enemy of learnin – tension In school – we tell them sit still shut up – work hard--- do test ---too much pressure and tension Relaxing is vital part in education Secret- you can uncoinsly relax…is a cionsious process. You tense uncoisniosly Need to remove sources of tension
Speak lang in 5 days - but there are some conditions for Michel the teacher No trying to remember No HW No test No note taking No reviewing in night Its his fault not yours if you don’t remember The first day Michel told me …don’t wory to remember anything we learn today…and then they go hm without pressure…and next day they remember@! Learning should bean effortless process. – like zoe…she is learning greek without any effort… Tension of expectation is bad---by parents/teachers /experiences… that we need to achievea certain level…
Approach to memory 4 diff memories Get data and put them in pictures in your mind Get data from ears – remember and recall sounds Get data from sensation from body – feelings/emotions – so mem for emo Digital info- has to do meaning. We rem the meaning for each word we say
Mem represents whats outside ourselves inside our brain We represent the past People don’t know what mem is.
Detailed vision and peripheral/ contextual vision Zoom in and zoom out Focus on distance? See all people in room Sharp focus? See one thing only – small area
If you get a picture from grand canyon- postcard…we remember the postcard more than the stare we had in the grand canyon… when you stare you scan small detail …sharp focus…when you see the picture- you see the big picture the zoom out
When we see its not just the eye working – it’s the brain processing… We have a blind spot in the brain. The brain fills it in! Story – gave people glasses and people watch upside down… in two days the brain change it because it assume it was a waste of energy – it just flipped the picture … and then when they took off glasses. …they saw upside down again for a while
How do we make distinctions? We make it internally… We encode it different sets of submodalities So first thing is to pattern the brain to distinguish things (colors distances etc) Ideal system is when learning how to learn is: Distinctions: artist conception of the world Musican ear, the kinaesthetic sensitivity of yoga , the field words of poet… and put all these together….
And then encode the strategies geniuses use to do different ghins
Memory for sounds: very good memory - eg from phone – you hear hello and you know who he is. Two kinds of hearing Contextual and detail Whole thing and details
Detailed person in party- wants the details – what he say Contextual person at home- wants the mood of the person what he feels…
Dr tomatoes- loud sound drain energy… low base notes drain energy… High notes increase energy at low values Plants and classical music – plants went towards music Plants and acid rock- grew away from it… Classical music- ears Modern – body
The demodes principle- the mouth can only pronounce what the ear can hear Listening drives speaking
Different kinds of memory When listening to voice- tonality we can see the emotion So if you lose your ear sounds you will lose emotionaly deaf…
MEMORY SECRETS 1
1)
Repeat what you hear in a lecture
So you pay attention and then re enforces it and 3) when you tell somgtg to yourself you rememebre it better than someone else tells you 2)
Create relships using mind maps
3)
Use marks and starts to things that are important on your mind maps/notes…put def for definition or dis for distinctions.
4)
Don’t just copy and paste notes from books… find whats important
5)
Linear notes – cant see the relatships
6)
Color pencils on mind maps Visual memory
99.99% ability to recognise and recall a picture they already seen Experiment – people shown pictures for hours. Then check yes or no on pictures..yes if they think they saw it NO if they didn’t So is it a picture? Then you can remember The secret to memory is to construct pictures not in memory itself Reading is from text to imagination – fantasizetext. What makes a great novel? See the movie in your brain- listen to emotions Technical material is hard since we cant make a picture easily – that’s why diagrams are easy to remember. Once construct the picture, remembering it is rel trivial
Modeling by wyatt: 9 year old memorize Koran. 300 pages Takes them 3 yrs –learn it in a lang he couldn’t speak! Someone from audience ask- where is this word appears ?the kid says in two places… How? Use torture - bones broken Auditory – rhythm and kinaesthetic – powerful ways to remember Kids are not tape recorders… Auditory is serial access – visual is not Learning the alphabet Using auditory If it was visual – you could see the whole alphabet and answer any question instantly Kinaesthetic- sensations in body Greeks – went to the first place …rehearse their first part of speech. Goto sec place at home reverse sec part and so on… So when they do the public speaking…they ll go to the first place in mind and then second in mind etc…that’s why its called in the first place… Problem? Need to use dance0 movements- kids has kinaesthetic stage when they go to high school Maris manosori… piage… She knew that kids love kinaesthetic learning… and she said we start kids school two years too early Book: the magical child revisited
Kids are kinesth- that’s why they cant sit Digital learning Dig- means here meaning We are symbolic processors Ebenhaus- study of forgetting One day- forget 46% Week-2/3 Two weeks/ 80% Forgetting pattern
So first day , forget rapidly 98% is forgotten during the year We remember things that see again and again This is due to our instincts- flight or fly instinct or when parents telling us about dangers and risks Relevant to survival ? remember Remembers whats useful‌and forget whats not
Whats useful are things that are repeated/come up again and again 850000 words in English 100 words – use 53% of the time. 17 words use 25% of the time! Memorizing works for test-
Inner leave learning – give 20 words first week- sec week give some words from first week and some new… 3rd week give some words from first 2 and new
3 parts of memory Short term- hold it to make sense – Auditory st – can hear a whole sentence and give meaning b4 we dump it If it goes to LT, it can stay forever.
So first ST memory- some things wont go to st memory…eg names when we meet somenoen Some goes to ST memory but its not important And some goes to LT- it can last for life time Most of things we do at school- don’t go to LT because are not important! So teachers get upset GOOD news Correlation the amount of time we study and remember Better news- methods we use is important as well …not just studying Mnemonics
Secrets 2 We remember difference! We don’t remember the last 10 times we brush teeth Need to stand out – interference People remember bad emotions and great emotions experiences
Memory = 3 way activity Registration retention recall - getting it in, in the disc- get out Pre testing with 10 words…. One minute Then 30 words…
How to help memory: •
Decide what to remember. It’s a choice- learn whats useful for you.
•
Motivated interest- if you are not. You cant remember.
(mind works best when engaged with heart)connect it with something interesting to you •
Emo significance-
•
Meaning-personal –non sense hard to rem
“Personal organization” is the process of clustering information into a model that’s important o for you. This converts information into knowledge •
Intend to remember
•
Basic background
Einstein –great memory…: why? Mind maps in front of him (in brain) . So connect what you know with the new. Needs to fit in to things already know Relax b4 you learn- breaks … Michel Thomas didn’t take breaks for lang courses. If the course is interactive then you don’t need to take breaks --- its better to overload the conscious so that you communicate with the subconscious Michel doesn’t like 7 periods a day.
She said teacher needs more time. 6 weeks for math! All the time math! Retain data 7 plus or minus 2 – we can only focus on these. So chunk info to small chunks… Eg break phone to 3 chunks
Primacy and recency We remember the first things, the last things… we forget the middle Van resto effect- colourful bizarre funny…. So you put these in the middle. You tend to remember uncompleted tests better than completed tests. If u interrupt a task, people remember it more. Our mind seeks closure…if we are not sure about it… then we need to close it Paul Harvey…stopping not at end of sentence but at end of middle of sentence Lady married a king – the king kill all women every night- but this lady told him a story but didn’t end in night…so he told her to come next morning to finish the story then next day, she finished that story but in the meantime she started an even better story and didn’t finish it. Used in soap operas and prison break! Specificness- make it easy to visualize… truth is harder to remember Principles – hard to rem Generalizations are very important in learning Instead of saying, a paper falls down, a mouse falls down etc, you find the generalizable thing and learn it. Learning by examplesReview schedules – repeat what teacher saying And also after 1 hour- after a day after a week
Details are not important… So by reviewing, the brain thinks that’s its important. Context- lead to visualisation. Multiple encodingUse your own words and be emotional involve Rehearsal and recessitation- your own words with emotional involve Repeating doesn’t mean learning- need to focus---not meaningless repeatition Consolidation – Sleep… sleep learning doesn’t work. But a good sleep – is a great way of helping learning HOW TO USE ASSOCIATION Associ somthg with smth you already know- it’s the glue Brain is like a hyperlink. When u associate use feeling. Active involve- use a story Synaesthesia – see – feel… u get part of smthg you get the whole thing. Memory pegs Physical context “Anchors” are associations that trigger an emotional response. • “Hypnosis”: under hypnosis it is possible to have total recall of past events. To memorize a list of things, simply make up a story in your mind that connects the objects together. The more random, funny, and vulgar you make it, the easier it will be to recall
session 5 – part 2
one hour to clarify my purpose for my project create visual and kinaesthetic maps to help you on public talking create and articulate an img to show who are you going to become in order to make that vision you have for the world? So what is my vision for the world? I see students happy to go to schools… each of them have a target, have a goal a long term and a short term goal… they know how to study they know what to study and they know why they study. Ready aim high and not ready high aim like we used to do Feel boundaries Feel surfaces of your body Feel taste direct contact smell hearing vibration, sight photons, feel emotion, unconious mind , Primal brain conscious mind, imagination, some part of you witnessing all these things! If you feel all these you have just witness a chronological evolution of yourself FIND THE MOST SPECIFIC MEASURABLE DESCRIBABLE TRAIT YOU ARE GOING TO CHANGE TO HELP THE WORLD
MY NEW ME – THE NOT ME A NEW TEACHER – For making students be more effective and efficient What you will see that is going to say: hey I am new great teacher now? Become man of the year – I am doing 20 seminars per year on personal development. I am in the cover of magazines/ I am in the news. I have my own school What am I going to do now to achieve that?
SO THE QUESTIONS ARE? WHO ARE YOU IN 20 YEARS TIME?
WHAT YOU WILL SEE TO SAY HEY I AM THAT THING? WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO TO BECOME THAT?
Being abstract is very easy to do . We are abstract because we think we get it but we don’t All people will say: eben I get the difference between abstract and specific. Stay open- don’t say I know this…… Why are we fascinated by the story of th genie and the bottle? Because its life – we don’t know what to ask for…the genie is there all the time and we don’t know what to ask for You are the genie--- you ask for wrong thing, you are not specific , you don’t ask, and when you do ask you get it and say oh that s not what I had in mind Get clear what u want from life Create and articulate. Great way to learn something: find a guru 80/20 principle - find out where you are wasting your time First things first. Second things not at all. What do you do on a regular basis that is the problem (and you know its not serving you)? What is the payoff from that behavior? Focus is critical distractions are a pain Don’t have many alternatives. – have one great alternative Learn to align the head and the heart. (meditation) Change doesn’t occur: The system does not allow change 2. There is no motivation to change
3. We don’t know what to do or how to do it 4. We aren’t able to do it FOUR LEARNING QUADRANTS
WHY ? WHAT? HOW ? WHAT IF?
HOW TO READ A BOOK Decide outcomes – Look for what is different from what you know Look for concepts Understand the process first and then the procedures Reduce something into a general law Use the material you learn. Put it into practice as soon as you can. Teach someone what you learned as fast as you can. Anything you can do to practice visualizing and constructing is going to be a valuable process to help you grow.
EBEN PAGAN ABOUT A BOOK The book is yours- don’t have to finish it…its your little bitch Speed reading technique – skip 80% of the book that you are going to read Better to see the end of puzzle when you do a puzzle.
How to tell people what to do? 1.
What did u learn? How you beh will change?
2.
What did u learn about yourself ? what are u going to do to change you?
3.
How that is going to change many behs?
Level zero-
Create a story that changes part 2 Insignt is the first thing , the idea, the inspiration Clare Graves: adult human development People evolve in levels… great book Level 7- lights come on… Fractal: shape with recursions smaller…this is how reality is…trees clouds for example or commodities… the yearly trend or monthly trend or the day trend… Lets see fractals Leaves and sub leaves…
We don’t know whats going on about fractals… Inter leaving… learning and then somthg else and then some else… and then metaphors…. So how what why what if…could be in fractals again and again (lots of what lots of why …. And then in each… what … we get what why how what if.) Fractals are all math – creating beaity Prospectives are partials… and they are changing…all the time… So find other perspectives cause surely they are better people with better perspect than yours…so go and find them. Greatest meditation is a mind that lets go- attisha…
