Below are a few pillars upon which you can base your learning journey. Not just applicable for students. Parents and teachers can use them to create a learning mindset in children.
The Pillars
-
Everything is a game
- growth mindset - intelligence and capabilities can grow
- locus of control - internal (you are in control of your life's outcomes) vs external (your life's outcomes depend on external factors like fate)
- if you believe you are in control of your life, you believe that you can improve your skills rather than blaming external factors
- you are a player in a game who gains XP with each challenge
- and the player makes multiple efforts to grow to the next level
-
Feynman Technique
- To understand something well, you need to be able to teach it.
- good way to learn and test your knowledge
- be able to answer questions about it
- do not hide behind jargons - use simple terms to explain concepts
- take notes in a way that is shareable to others (or create a blog like me)
-
Trunk based knowledge
- start from the root - fundamentals
- build a knowledge tree where the root is ever-relevant and even if the leaves become irrelevant in short-term, it is easier to learn something new because of your strong root knowledge
- makes it easier to adapt to the future
-
Efficiency trumps grit
- improve work efficiency and avoid working too hard
- being busy all the time indicates bad time management skills and does not necessarily indicate that you are good at something
