FACILITATOR

Program Lead

Introduction: In this task the participants are responsible for teaching each other the key principles in the concept "The science of learning". The science of learning encompasses findings in a wide range of areas, including discoveries about how human perceive, organize, and store information and then subsequently retrieve that information from memory. We are basically exploring the topic of how we as humans learn and how we can take advantage of these findings to unlearn unproductive assumptions about learning that we withhold and find new ways to learn more effectively.

This task will be completed and co-created by the entire group (including the pioneers). Everyone will be divided into random groups of three. Each group will be responsible for 2-3 key principles in the science of learning. The team will then have to research and explore this topic, as well as how they can apply those principles in their day to day life. To make it even more fun, each team have to use the principles which they have received to teach the other teams about the principles. An example would be storytelling. The team responsible for the principle of storytelling will have to research this topic further and find a way to teach storytelling through storytelling.

How:

1

(2min) Firstly, you have to split all the participants into teams. 3-4 per team. Each team will then be given a set of principles.

2

(15min) Each team will then have to discuss the principles and research them further until they are able to formulate an example(or several examples) of how each principle can be used in a specific situation.

3

(15min) Each team has to prepare a learning process where they teach the other teams their principles. This has to be done in a way that includes the principles. Example: The team responsible for the principle of storytelling will have to research this topic further and find a way to teach storytelling through storytelling.

4

(40min) When all the teams are ready, they each have 6-8 minutes to teach the other participants. Have fun, be creative.
