Things you Really Need to Learn Stephen Downes May 30, 2007
-
How to predict consequences
-
A combination of science, mathematics, and visualization … the ability to create a mental model imaging the sequence of events that would follow, \"what would likely happen if...?\"
-
how we learn it today Games of: • numbers and counting (eg., darts) • action (eg., billiards, baseball) • chance (eg., poker) • strategy (eg., chess, go) … and a little bit of science and mathematics education, to fill out the theory
-
How to read
-
How to look at some text and to understand, in a deep way, what is being asserted…
-
Understanding the four major types of writing: • Description • Argument • Explanation • Definition http://www.isoc.org/inet2000/cdproceedings/6d/6d_1.htm
-
what to watch for • reading without comprehension • reading without meaning or purpose
-
Other Literacies • graphics and maps • videography • signs and symbols • music • body language
-
How to distinguish truth from fiction
-
The first thing to learn is to actually question what you are told, what you read, and what you see on television.
-
what it is • judging for yourself • observing • questioning
-
what to watch for • framing (motives matter) • backgrounding (our hidden assumptions) • misperception (we see what we’re looking for)
-
How to empathize The ability to imagine oneself as another person… The ability to be another person…
-
what it is a mental model of the other person's thoughts and feelings in your own mind a genuine feeling in yourself that operates in synch with the other person
-
what to watch for - assuming everyone else is like you - assuming empathy is a bargain like, say, the golden rule
-
be creative
-
A transfer of knowledge from one domain to another • A manipulation of that knowledge Operates by metaphor thinking outside the box Requires pattern recognition
-
How to communicate clearly
-
what it is probably the hardest • knowing what you want to say • knowing how to say it simple tools
-
How to Learn your brain. You are trying to connect neurons together, and to strengthen that connection.
-
Learning is like recognition… To teach is to model and demonstrate pattern recognition
-
Learning how to learn is learning how to create patterns in our mind
-
If your school is not facilitating proper exercise and nutrition, demand them!
-
you have to say \"I am valuable.\
-
the belief that you are good enough (to have an opinion, have a voice, and have a say, that your contributions do matter)
-
the belief that you are capable (that you can learn to do new things and to be creative)
-
your ability to be independent (to not rely on some particular person or institution for personal well-being)
-
and autonomous (capable of making your own decisions and living your live in your own way)
-
what to watch for People who say you’re worthless (unless you vote for them, do what they say, buy their product) If somebody tells you that you are worthless over and over, and if you do nothing to counteract that, then you will come to believe you are worthless, because that's how your neural connections will form.
-
Tell yourself that you are smart, you are cool, you are strong…
-
How to live meaningfully
-
What you are doing right now is the thing that you most want to do
-
Appreciation of the here and now
-
educate people • cure diseases • explore space • worship God • raise a family • design cars • make art
