Humans have fundamental ability and cognitive resources to learn new concepts and acquire new skills and knowledge, although this may not seem natural to most of us at first. The key is to understand how the brain works so we can harness its potential by developing and adopting learning techniques that are effective and more rewarding. In this episode of Bridging the Gaps, I speak with Dr Barbara Oakley about “Learning how to learn”. Dr. Oakley encourages learners to recognize that everyone learns differently. Recognizing the benefits and drawbacks of various learning approaches depending on a learner's natural brain functioning, she argues, is the first step in learning how to handle new information. Dr Barbara Oakley is a professor of Engineering at Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan. She is an inaugural “Innovation Instructor” at Coursera, an online course provider, where she co-taught one of the world's most popular massive open online course “Learning How to Learn”. Her work focuses on the complex relationship between neuroscience and social behavior. She has written many books including “Learning How to Learn: How to Succeed in School Without Spending All Your Time Studying; A Guide for Kids and Teens”. Her book “Mindshift: Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden Potential” is also relevant to this discussion. We start the conversation by discussing Dr Oakley's education and professional journey, which led to her developing interest in “Learning how to learn”. We then discussed our present understanding that how learning occurs in the brain and how the brain acquires new knowledge. Dr Oakley explains why it is important to understand the working and functioning of the brain for developing and adopting effective learning techniques. She then explains a number of effective techniques for effective learning such as when to focus and when to take a break, she discusses significance of practice and being persistent. Dr Oakley then discusses in detail the effectiveness of Pomodoro technique. We then discuss the future of MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) and universities in the age of online teaching and learning. We also touch upon the possible impact of over-reliance on and excessive use of technology for online learning. Complement this discusion with "Growth Mindset: A Must Have Tool for Success with Professor Carol Dweck " available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2015/01/growth-mindset-a-must-have-tool-for-success/ And then listen to "Education: What works and what does not, with Professor John Hattie" available at: https://www.bridgingthegaps.ie/2016/11/education-what-works-with-john-hattie/

To solve problems, you must access and activate the neural networks in your brain.  There's the task-positive network and the task-negative network. Task-positive is focused mode. And task-negative is diffused mode. You cannot use both at the same time. Instead, you move from one to the next to fully understand a problem and generate the best ideas to solve it. In episode 11 of The Incrementalist podcast, you will discover: The difference between the focused mode and the diffused mode of thinking The reasons you need both modes to learn new things and solve problems The limitations of the focused mode, e.g. Einstellung effect The limitations of the diffused mode, e.g. lack of deliberate practice Salvador Dali and Thomas Edison's use of micronaps (hypnagogia) to get unstuck and generate ideas How to activate each thinking mode and move from one mode to the other Why mind mapping is better than linear note taking for connecting ideas and seeing the big picture Resources cited:  Barbara Oakley, Mindshift: Break Through Obstacles to Learning and Discover Your Hidden Potential Daniel Levitin, Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload Dyan Williams, Mind Mapping: A Mental Tool for Generating Ideas and Solving Problems, ABA Law Practice Today Music by:Sebastian Brian MehrStay focused & diffused,Dyan WilliamsCheck out the book: The Incrementalist, A Simple Productivity System to Create Big Results in Small StepsVisit website: www.dyanwilliams.comSubscribe to productivity e-newsletter

In today's episode I'll review Mindshift, written by Dr. Barbara Oakley. Dr. Oakley teaches the world's most popular online course, Learning How to Learn. She also serves as professor of Engineering at Oakland University and is involved in multiple areas of research from STEM education, to engineering education, to learning practices. Throughout Mindshift, Dr. Oakley introduces us to people who have each experienced a Mindshift in their lives. From guitarists turned doctors, to white collar worker turned woodworker. Oakley herself struggled with math and science growing up, but through learning a language with the military she discovered learned techniques that can be leveraged for people interested in cultivating a positive attitude, learning more effectively, or growing in multiple areas of their lives.
