How Do You Define Learning?

 Jot down your definition of what learning means to you?

When standing in that place of comfort, your

ability to think critically is limited. Only at the

edge of the cliff, wisdom can be squeezed

out as you struggle to survive Learning is a state of Confusion

“Relative permanent change, due to experience, either in behavior or in mental representations or associations; something that lasts for a period of time” (Ormrod, 2006)

Your Internal Iceberg



Context of Learning  Content of courses  Context of Learning

–  The How – Body language – Emotional attachment – Cognitive development – Moral development

 Example: Order of activities – Example – who speaks first

•  Starting a course – introductions, interests



Student Centered Learning: A starting point

 Constructivism –  Learners construct knowledge, not absorb – Building from existing tacit knowledge

•  Prior knowledge and beliefs play a major role – Relate new information – Mediated learning experience (sense-making &

meaning, mutual experiences)

– Meaning is constructed by the learner



Example: Rules of the Game

 Above and Below the Line

 The “I Know” trap  N.I.C.E.

 Participation  Being accountable



I KNOW “That’s Interesting…” Or “That’s Fascinating…”

The closing of your mind…

…but…



I Will also NOT Be …



Expectations

 Expect to be Challenged  Experimentation Mindset  BE 100% Honest with Yourself  Life is a Learning Experiment  Achieving Congruence – values/beliefs and behavior

 Share your lessons - aha moments  Be active in the process



A Little Bit About Learning ...

  Left V’s Right Brain ...   Clench Hands Exercise ...   CONFUSION ...   Using Colors ...   Calling out answers ...   Raising your hand ...



A holistic view: Rate yourself

 On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest, where would you rank your intelligence? –  Intellect (IQ) ______ – Emotional Intelligence (EQ) ______ – Somatic Awareness (PQ) ______ – System consciousness (SQ) ______
