  • An ideal adult learning climate has a nonthreatening, nonjudgmental atmosphere in which adults have permission for and are expected to share in the responsibility for their learning.
  • Michelle Krill on 26 Aug 11
     
    ""Adults vote with their feet," a favorite adage of adult educators, is frequently used to describe a characteristic of adult learners. In most circumstances, adults are not captive learners and, if the learning situation does not suit their needs and interests, they will simply stop coming."

    "The Net Generation has grown up with information technology. The aptitudes, attitudes, expectations, and learning styles of Net Gen students reflect the environment in which they were raised-one that is decidedly different from that which existed when faculty and administrators were growing up. This collection explores the Net Gen and the implications for institutions in areas such as teaching, service, learning space design, faculty development, and curriculum. Contributions by educators and students are included"

  • The outcome, as it's usually represented, is that the children who were able to wait for an extra treat scored better on measures of cognitive and social skills many years later and had higher SAT scores. Thus, if we teach kids to put off the payoff as long as possible, they'll be more successful.But that simplistic conclusion misrepresents, in several ways, what the research actually found.

  • It's not that willpower makes certain kids successful; it's that the same loose cluster of mental proficiencies that helped them with distraction when they were young also helped them score well on a test of reasoning when they were older.

  • Almost everyone who cites these experiments assumes that it's better to wait for two marshmallows—that is, to defer gratification. But is that always true?
  • The inclination to wait depends on one's experiences. "For a child accustomed to stolen possessions and broken promises, the only guaranteed treats are the ones you have already swallowed," remarked a group of social scientists at the University of Rochester.
  • Perhaps the broader message for educators is this: Focus less on "fixing the kids" and more on improving what and how they're taught.

  • When you marry the concept of badging with technology, you get digital badges that allow a person’s portfolio of badges to be stored in one place and provide a record of subject or skill mastery
  • in the short run the best approach to scaling digital badging is not to focus on students, but on their teachers.

    "Student-centered classrooms include students in planning, implementation, and assessments. Involving the learners in these decisions will place more work on them, which can be a good thing. Teachers must become comfortable with changing their leadership style from directive to consultative -- from "Do as I say" to "Based on your needs, let's co-develop and implement a plan of action.""

    I believe sleep, rest and being relaxed play a huge role in our alertness and readiness to learn. Unfortunately, many children today are overloaded with activities and busy schedules. Coming to school stressed and tired is just another ingredient in the recipe for disaster. Maria Tovo

    While at #PS2015, a graduate student at BYU asked me, "What other theories are being applied in education?" That may be the best question of the year and one that every school and district leadership team should ask themselves. So, what theories are being applied to public education?

  • Brain activity of the experienced surfers was far more extensive than that of the newbies, particularly in areas of the prefrontal cortex associated with problem-solving and decisionmaking.

  • The evidence suggested, then, that the distinctive neural pathways of experienced Web users had developed because of their Internet use.
  • The depth of our intelligence hinges on our ability to transfer information from working memory, the scratch pad of consciousness, to long-term memory, the mind’s filing system. When facts and experiences enter our long-term memory, we are able to weave them into the complex ideas that give richness to our thought.

  • And that short-term storage is fragile: A break in our attention can sweep its contents from our mind.
  • Imagine filling a bathtub with a thimble; that’s the challenge involved in moving information from working memory into long-term memory. When we read a book, the information faucet provides a steady drip, which we can control by varying the pace of our reading. Through our single-minded concentration on the text, we can transfer much of the information, thimbleful by thimbleful, into long-term memory and forge the rich associations essential to the creation of knowledge and wisdom. On the Net, we face many information faucets, all going full blast. Our little thimble overflows as we rush from tap to tap. We transfer only a small jumble of drops from different faucets, not a continuous, coherent stream

The goal: a stronger connection between academic learning and the kind of real-world experience that advocates say can translate into postsecondary success."

      This is scary to think, but very true. The internet is turning us into fast paced people who do not learn things in depth. This could not only harm our learning, but our long term memory if we are not properly storing information.
  • comprehension declined as the number of links increased
  • When the load exceeds our mind’s ability to process and store it, we’re unable to retain the information or to draw connections with other memories.

      I think this is another big problem in education - information overload. Students may not be able to remember things quick enough, and so much information is out there online that it can be hard to navigate through it all.

  • "One of the major advantages of project work is that it makes school more like real life," says Sylvia Chard,
