The video contains good examples explaining flow theory.

I have just subscribed :) Thanks Afranur.

Years ago a seminar that I attended called "brain-based learning" discussed about similar topic. It was the first time that I had learned about "when learning starts". And this video reminds me of the seminar and it is like adventures of a fetus very open to learning. It is really interesting that a fetus can understand each and every language besides its native one. And as you mentioned this video shows how much we learn in womb, which means learning starts with a fetus in womb and goes till the end of life.

Yes, it really is interesting and hard to understand for me as well. There are various factors involved in our learning process for sure, but frankly I did not imagine the time before birth. "brain-based learning" sounds like an efficient keyword to achieve new knowledge on this topic.

It is really interesting to see that fetuses behave like the photocopies of their mothers. They can nearly comrehend everthing during their life in their mothers' belly. I think this video implies many ideas for the improvement of future generations and of course warnings and precautions for the pregnant women.

I, the one who is into Social Learning Theory, believe that there are three important factors influencing each other; these are Person, Environment and Behavior like the theory says and like this experiment talks about. Apart from this, according to Albert Bandura, who is the owner of the theory, people set their own goals, monitor themselves (self-observation), evaluate their own behavior (judgment), and then have self-response. It's like a cycle and in the end learning occurs. In addition to that, in order to reach the biggest goal people can set sub-goals and flexibility about immediate tasks. Moreover, in this theory to learn something from our failures and not to give up because of our failures are some of the major points. So as you said, this theory might be an alternative view on teaching and learning in the class, which means students may set their own sub-goals going straight to their own biggest goal (learning and performance).

I totally agree with you :) Also insistence is important (especially for Sheldon). I also think that it is not just for learning but also for everything in life. Inner energy, self-motivation, triggering and curiosity come first before other steps while doing smt.

yes I agree there:) all very important constructs for learning and other important tasks in life to occur. And I especially love the part where Sheldon yells "how can you not know, I have just told you" :)))

It is really enjoyable, thanks for sharing this. But, it reminded me of myself as a novice teacher and I was totally like Sheldon but I had not one Penny and almost in every class there were 40 Pennys:) Every class was project gorilla for me and at the end of every class I got exhausted. At the end of that year I admitted that I was bat at teaching and even I decide to quit. Now, I cannot say that I am perfectly good at teaching but I have realized and admitted every student has their own rate of learning and as you have said interest, motivation and piror knowledge is indispensable.

I was also thinking about 'Project Gorilla' and who or what they are in our 'Agora's! For me teaching itself is 'Project Gorilla' and all learning environments are 'Agora'. Unknown objects, stars, are could be learners who are waiting to be discovered. I did enjoy while watching Sheldon and how Penny behaves during the lesson. Thanks!

I agree with you Afranur, the video reminded me of my personal teaching experience as well, especially at my first year, getting to realize that each and every student had unique characteristics was difficult for me and I had hard times like you:) But we will get better I am sure, by taking into account the things we both underlined. Teaching itself is a Project Gorilla, that's so true :)
