Barbara Oakley: Learning Techniques (2)

[ Post [1] [3] [4] ]

[Video]: Barbara Oakley: “Learning How to Learn”. Talks at Google.

 About the Book: Whether you are a student struggling to fulfill a math or science requirement, or you are embarking on a career change that requires a higher level of math competency, A Mind for Numbers offers the tools you need to get a better grasp of that intimidating but inescapable field. Engineering professor Barbara Oakley knows firsthand how it feels to struggle with math. She flunked her way through high school math and science courses, before enlisting in the army immediately after graduation. When she saw how her lack of mathematical and technical savvy severely limited her options—both to rise in the military and to explore other careers—she returned to school with a newfound determination to re-tool her brain to master the very subjects that had given her so much trouble throughout her entire life. In A Mind for Numbers, Dr. Oakley lets us in on the secrets to effectively learning math and science—secrets that even dedicated and successful students wish they’d known earlier. Contrary to popular belief, math requires creative, as well as analytical, thinking. Most people think that there’s only one way to do a problem, when in actuality, there are often a number of different solutions—you just need the creativity to see them. For example, there are more than three hundred different known proofs of the Pythagorean Theorem. In short, studying a problem in a laser-focused way until you reach a solution is not an effective way to learn math. Rather, it involves taking the time to step away from a problem and allow the more relaxed and creative part of the brain to take over. A Mind for Numbers shows us that we all have what it takes to excel in math, and learning it is not as painful as some might think! About the Author: Barbara Oakley is a professor of engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. She has received many awards for her teaching, including the coveted National Science Foundation New Century Scholar Award. Get the book here: https://goo.gl/rLUHLC

You learn a lot even while you sleep because your brain is always active

“While you are asleep, your brain works continuously and rapidly. When you learn new information, new synapses begin to form in your head alongside dendritic spines. These spines and synapses then become mature when you are asleep, and your brain is ready to work well with little interruption.

Sleep gives your brain an active refresh that filters unnecessary information and pieces together the necessary information.

When you sleep and wake up, there's a high chance that you will be able to find solutions to the problems that have plagued your learning. Then when you are awake, reinforce those solutions by learning again what you've read and practicing it.

Space out your reading time, and take your time to understand what you've read. The brain is composed of two memory systems called the working memory and the long–term memory. The working memory is like a school bag; it doesn't contain much, but it can include what you currently need. Your working memory deals with what you're consciously thinking of at that moment. It holds limited amounts of information.

Scientists believe that humans can only hold on to four different pieces of information simultaneously and that recalling this information is the job of the working memory.

However, when you're not focusing, your working memory drops the information and then hibernates until you recall it again. On the other hand, long–term memory is like a locker, which means it can contain a lot of information. The long–term memory system is scattered around the brain, and you can never fill it up. To get information from the long–term memory system, you need constant practice and process.”

Gerçekten söylemiş mi teyit edemedim, Mark Twain’e atfedilen iki ayrı alıntı var. Biri; “Eğer kurbağa yemeniz gerekiyorsa, en iyisi bunu sabah ilk iş olarak yapmaktır. Ve eğer işiniz iki kurbağa yemekse, büyük olandan başlamak daha iyidir.” Diğeri; “Sabah ilk iş canlı kurbağa ye, ve günün kalanında başına daha kötü bir şey gelmeyecek”. Öğrenmeyi Öğrenmek dersinde bunu “önce kurbağanızı yiyin” larak duydum. Günün, veya örneğin Pazartesileri için haftanın, en zor işini yapmak hem ertelemeyi azaltmanıza hem de geri kalan işler için daha rahat ve pozitif yaklaşabilmenize olanak verecek. Kurbağa en zor iş, en az sevilen iş veya iyi olmadığınız bir iş olabilir. Ve lütfen kurbağınızı sadece mecazi olarak yiyin, hayvanları yemeyin. Could not verify but it’s said that it was Mark Twain who said something like “If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.” In another version it’s something like “Eat a live frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen to you the rest of the day.” I heard it in MOOC – Learning How to Learn as “eat your frog first”. Doing the most difficult job of the day, or of the week for Monday for example, will help you in stopping procrastination, and will help you in having a more positive and relax approach for rest of the tasks of the day. Your frog might be your least liked task or the task you are not very good at. And, please eat your frog only metaphorically, and leave alll animals off your plate. #learnedtoday #bugünöğrendim #bugunogrendim #timemanagement #zamanyönetimi #procrastination #erteleme #personaldevelopment #kişiselgelişim #inspirationalquotes #dailyinspiration #inspiration #success #business #personalgrowth #dedication #mooc #learningtolearn #learninghowtolearn #marktwain #eatyourfrogfirst #öncekurbağınızıyiyin #taskmanagement #motivation #entrepreneur #quote #productivity #planner #business #quoteoftheday #quotes #time #goodmorning #todolist #todo #planning #thingstodo #goals

10 Books That Will Transform Your Approach To Learning

[randula-digitallearning]

Čtvrtá kapitola - videa

V této závěrečné kapitole se budeme zabývat tím, jak odemknout náš potenciál. Důležité je procvičování nových věcí. Je dobré být velmi inteligentní, ale zabíjí to ve vás kreativitu, která je velmi potřebná.

Další video se zabývá tím, že pokud změníte své myšlení, změníte svůj život. Důležitý není jenom talent nebo inteligence, hlavní je snaha něčeho dosáhnout, například změnit své myšlení o tom, že mi nic nejde a snažit se s tím něco udělat.

V další části se podíváme na týmovou práci. Dobré je pracovat/studovat společně, protože se můžete navzájem motivovat, můžete si předávat nové znalosti, věci kterých jste si nevšimli, můžete polemizovat nad tématy. Je důležité se scházet na čas a pracovat pouze na jednom tématu.

Další video se zaměřuje na techniky, které nám pomohou v učení. První metodou je Začít na těžkém, rychle přejít na jednoduché - začít s těžkým úkolem, ale abychom se na něm nezasekli, tak udělat jenom část, poté přejít na lehčí úlohu, vrátit se pak k těžší, to nastartuje vaši kreativitu. Pak je zmíněna metoda projití si testu po ukončení poslední úlohy.

Dále se zabýváme dalšími tipy na testy. Soustředit se na dýchání, abychom se zklidnili, je důležité to procvičovat ještě nějaký čas před testem. Dalším tipem je u výběru z možností s i možnosti zakrýt a vybavit si informace o tom tématu a vzpomenout si na správnou odpověď. Dalším tipem je, aby jste studovali pilně až do dne testu, v ten den to už neřešit.

Learning about a material in 6 x 10 minutes, makes learning more permanent (and usable) than learning the same material in 60 minutes at once… When you learn new things in a rushing mode, at once, it is less likely that you will be able to recall when you need the information. It's like driving 100miles per hour, and driving for an hour and upon arrival trying to remember small details of surroundings around the way of 100 miles….Whatever you need to learn, break into pieces and let your brain to store it properly for later use. (Full version is at learnedtoday.info, link is at bio) Bir materyali 6 x 10 dakikada öğrenmek, tek bir oturuşta 60 dakikada öğrenmeye göre, çok daha kalıcı (ve kullanılabilir) oluyor… Yeni bir şey öğrenmeyi aceleye getirerek ve bir oturuşta yaptığımızda, bilgiye ihtiyaç duyduğumuzda hafızadan geri çağırabilmek daha az mümkün oluyor. Saatte 160 km ile bir saat araç kullanıp, tüm o 160 km'lik yoldaki küçük detayları hatırlamaya çalışmak gibi…Öğrenmek istediğiniz şey her ne ise, onu parçalara bölün ve beyninizin doğru bir depolama yapabilmesi için ona fırsat tanıyın.

How “Learning How to Learn” (a  Coursera Course) has help me change how I learn in a positive way

Many times in learning we are not clear of what we are going to face when we start something new. This new learning for me which is “Learning How to Learn” has opened my mind and help me start to recognize how wrong I have been about learning and studying. For me this has been a process, that I wish I could say it has been successful from start from finish, but the truth is that may of the things learn in this course I just trying to apply them gradually, because breaking bad learning habits of many years does not happen in one day or very short time. So In this blog I wan to share what I think are the best tips for learning and how we can try to use it, for example in my case, with my son who is 9 years old. So I want to share this great and simple tips that can help you change your learning in a positive way, based in what I have learn in “”Learning How to Learn”. One more important thing, keep the wheel running…

1. New vocabulary. I start using and expressing my self in a different way. For example if i was learning and getting stuck with something, I would say “Ok let me start my diffuse thinking”. So make learning a new opportunity to learn new concepts and words and start using them in your daily routines.

2. Stop being old fashion, changes are good. Sometimes we are scared of changes, but never be afraid of changes and using different techniques that can help you learn better. Are you a more graphical person use mind-maps to help to organized your ideas, do recall of text you have studied, use flashcards to learn new topics, also you can create your own new way to learn more effective.

3. To-Do List. A To-Do list is always a great way to organized and plan your activities. Sometimes are day can be very busy, but we should take, as recommended in the course plan ahead, make your list the night before, and this can apply for your daily activities to. To kick track there are many helpful tools that can help you create a To-Do List. Help your kids also create the study plan and to-do list.

4. Keep a Journal. One  of tips, I most liked was the idea of keeping a Journal. write of what you did o learn in the day, is great way to document your learning progress. If you are trying to break a habit, writing about it and reflecting upon it can you lead you to start changes. If you can write in more than one language, switch writing between languages this helps you brain to strengthen your language skills and vocabulary. 

5. Sleep well. Sleeping well and letting our brain make the connections and the neurons creating chunks in our brain, will help us in the short, medium and long term to keep us mentally healthy and more mentally skilled.

6. Read books. Read all kinds of books, read children’s book, science fiction, nature book, teen books, adventure books, any book will help you open your mind and help you learning skills.

7. Give yourself rewards when accomplishing your new learning. It is important that whenever you set yourself to goal and accomplish it, give yourself a reward, this will elevate your motivation to continue your learning.

8. Finish what you begin. Not necessary right away. It is important to complete what you have set to learn, for example learning a new language, sometimes we can find bumps on they way or get lost but it is important to finish what you have started. Put in practice by making small progress, learn at your on pace. If what you are doing is not what you thought put a milestone and start on a new thing.

9. Put time limit to your work. Whenever yo start a new task or activity to learn something new, set a time limit. It is also important to rest, let you brain assimilate your new learning and make the connections. This will be benefit you and your health.

10. Share with other what you are learning. A good way ti learn and help you gain confidence in what you are learning is sharing your knowledge with others or explaining someone a new concept you just learn, this will help you know if you really learned.

¿Soy Procrastinadora? Parte 1

No existe nada mejor que estar todo el día haciendo lo que nos gusta. Pasear despreocupados mientras disfrutamos de la autosatisfacción instantánea que da un buen café, nuestra música favorita o ver televisión.

Pero qué pasa cuando buscamos prolongar esos instantes en medio de un montón de responsabilidades, como cuando estamos sentados frente al computador firmemente decididos a comenzar el trabajo pendiente y, entonces, facebook nos avisa de una nueva notificación o recordamos no haber regado las plantas o quizá, en el peor de los casos, terminamos cayendo en un espiral de situaciones interminables que “nos impiden” realizar nuestro deber.  

Lo que acabo de describir se conoce como Procrastinación. El déficit atencional de los adultos.  Una palabra bastante rara ¿no?

La primera vez que escuché sobre  la Procrastinación fue en un curso acerca de cómo enseñar a aprender. Cuando el tutor preguntó: “¿Quién se siente identificado con la descripción explicada?”, una parte de mí saltó de la silla con la mano alzada diciendo: “Yo, yo soy una procrastinadora”;  la otra lo negó totalmente. 

¿Cómo iba a procrastinar? perder el tiempo, ¿yo? Parecía una situación imposible, sin embargo, la negación es el primer síntoma de todo problema.

Conocer y describir los  pasos de los procrastinadores fue nuestra primera tarea, no fue difícil para mí, solo tuve que describir la manera en que trabajaba: Falsa ilusión de seguridad, distracción, excusas “lógicas”, pánico, decepción y/o autoengaño.  

Esquema: “Ciclo de la procrastinación” 

Cuando acepté que procrastinaba, me pregunté casi de inmediato: ¿Cómo ocurrió esto? ¿Cuándo dejé que pasara? ¿Cómo me afectaba emocionalmente? ¿Cómo no lo había notado?

Ser un procrastinador con tendencia a la depresión y perfeccionismo no es fácil,  la percepción de no hacer el trabajo tan bien como sé que puedo me lleva a un estado de frustración que se convierte en un torbellino de inseguridades, miedo, y pensamientos autodestructivos. Bueno ¿Adivinen que hago para sentirme mejor? Sí, procrastinar, y el ciclo vuelve a comenzar:

Pero este patio de juegos está cargado de culpa y autodesprecio, por lo que procrastino aún más esperando que se me pase, sin embargo, esos sentimientos nunca desaparecen. Así que hay dos cosas que siempre suceden en mi vida: o no termino lo que empiezo o entrego trabajos que me dejan insatisfecha. 

He visto muchos blog, charlas y conferencias que dan tips de “cómo vencer la procrastinación en 10 minutos”, que la explican como algo gracioso, un detalle insignificante que puedes empujar lejos de ti de un día para otro. Bueno, la procrastinación no es fácil de vencer y, sobre todo,  no es algo insignificante.

Para mí es un monstruo, un hermoso monstruo encandilador que nace debido a la falta de conciencia que existe sobre las reacciones a ciertos estímulos. No es un gracioso conejo, un mono o un niño; es un monstruo con piel de oveja que nos mantiene hipnotizados.

Este personaje puede ir más allá del trabajo o la escuela, es capaz de colarse en los ámbitos más profundos de tu vida, devorando tus ganas y seguridades para tomar desafíos o avanzar en lo que amas. Lo terrible de la procrastinación es cuando te distrae de tus metas, de tus sueños.  Entonces, el síndrome se vuelve severo, es como si lo perdieras todo.

Pero ningún monstruo es indestructible. Vencer la procrastinación no es imposible y depende de dos cosas: conciencia y control.

Antes de comenzar a luchar debemos tener conciencia sobre qué estímulos nos distraen y de qué manera benefician la procrastinación. En segundo lugar, debemos cambiar la reacción que tenemos hacia ellos, manipulando nuestro actuar y creando nuevos hábitos que estén a nuestro beneficio. Parece fácil ¿no? pues no lo es.

Personalmente, llevo un año adaptándome y probando métodos para vencer la procrastinación, hasta que encontré esta fórmula secreta. Cambiar la reacción que tenía hacia hábitos muy arraigados, como: escuchar música o servirme té/café cada 5 minutos o las notificaciones de facebook; fue lo que salvó mi trabajo y mis proyectos personales.

Si aún crees que no es necesario quitar la procrastinación de tu vida, espero que las siguientes consecuencias te hagan recapacitar:

1-.Se siente horrible: Puedes pasar todo el tiempo haciendo lo que te gusta, pero esa voz recordándote que tienes trabajo que hacer está ahí a cada momento. ¡No puedes disfrutar realmente nada!

2-.Pierdes credibilidad: Lamentablemente, la primera impresión es muy importante, por ejemplo: si te retrasas, si tu resultados son mediocres ¿Quién esperará que hagas algo mejor? Finalmente,  la gente comienza a dudar de tu seriedad, ya sea en la universidad o en el trabajo. En resumen “Te vuelves poco confiable”. 

3-. Síndrome de Pedrito y el Lobo: Estás lleno de ganas, de proyectos y sueños. Vas y los divulgas por el mundo esperando recibir el apoyo de aquellos que te aman, pero esos proyectos y sueños nunca se concretizan. La gente comienza a decir que cree en ti, pero en el fondo ya no esperan que realmente hagas lo que dices, y tú tampoco lo haces; pierdes oportunidades importantes, el tiempo pasa y sentimientos como la frustración o el miedo a salir de tu zona de confort te invaden; no haces nada. 

¿No se siente terrible perder la fe en ti mismo? Debemos ser los que manipulen  la procrastinación en nosotros, y no dejar que ocurra a la inversa. Siempre hay tiempo para ser la mejor versión de quienes somos, nunca lo dudes.
