Listen "The Origami Lesson: What One Simple Experiment Revealed About How We Learn | Dr. Mark Johnson"
Episode Synopsis
What if there's a different way to think about developing skills? In this @MAGICademy conversation, Dr. Mark Johnson shares some fascinating insights through a simple paper-folding exercise that reveals something surprising about how we master new abilities. We explore ideas like "latency"—the gap between hearing instructions and applying them—and why storytelling seems to help skills stick better. Whether you're developing your own capabilities, helping others build theirs, or just curious about how we get better at things, there might be something here worth discovering. Feel free to grab a piece of paper and follow along.#GuidedDiscovery #ReduceLatency #ActiveSkillDev #Storytelling #LociMethod #EnhanceMemory #CreativityAndInnovationExplore further to connect with the guest: http://www.magicademy.club/learning-science/the-origami-lesson-what-one-simple-experiment-revealed-about-how-we-learn-dr-mark-johnson MicroChallenge: http://www.magicademy.club/microchallenges/question-everything-inspired-by-dr-mark-johnsonChapter: 00:00 Introduction to Active Discovery in Learning00:50 The Importance of Engagement in Learning02:49 Understanding Latency in Learning04:34 How do we teach traditionally (paper folding demo)08:18 How do we teach with latency in mind (paper folding demo)09:51 How does reducing latency expedite skill dev?11:33 How does peer evaluation enhance skill dev?11:49 The Interplay of Evaluation and Creation14:25 The Relevance of Learning in Real-World Applications14:49 Exploring Fink's Taxonomy16:25 Innovation Through Active Discovery19:17 The Power of Storytelling in Learning20:14 Recall words through Loci visualization29:11 Why is interacting with the learning object so important31:41 Childlike Wonder and Vitality34:32 Oh, learning is guided discovery!40:10 Learning from the Next Generation42:24 Adapting Teaching Methods for Modern Learners43:00 Dr. Mark's MAGIC
