The six stages of learning

Stage 1 State of mind

you need to be relaxed, confident and motivated. If you are stressed, or lack of self-confidence or can't understand why you need to learn, you will not focus.

Stage 2 Intake of information

Learn it your way, we all differ in our preferences to see, hear and get physically involved in what we are learning.

Stage 3 Explore the subject

Here comes the difference between knowing about something and understanding it. You can turn surface knowledge to deep understanding,through utilizing your learning preferences.

Stage 4 Memorize the subject

Memorize the key elements of the subject you have learned, the aim is to hold the backbone of the subject in your mind so you can remmember it whenever you want.

Stage 5 Show you know

Test your understanding of what you have learned, you can't be sure untill you make the test.

Stage 6 Reflect on how you learn

The aim is not only to improve your knowledge but also your ability to learn and develop your capabilities

The 7 intelligences we have

The 7 intelligences we have............


Although all of us have 100 billion brain cells, most of us use only a tiny fraction of our potential.

The question is then how to use it?

Dr. Howard Gardener at Harvard University points to the fact that we have 7 intelligences.Each intelligence is of similar importance in reaching our human full potential.

They are a common sense and we can recognize them as natural talents, each of us has to a greater or lesser extent.


1- Linguistic intelligence: (talent with language)

The ability to write and speak well. Many people like to read novels or write poetry.





2- Mathematical/Logical intelligence: (talent with math, logic and systems)

The ability to deal well with numbers and think logically.

Engineers, Scientists and accountants would have this intelligence.


3- Visual/ Spatial intelligence: (Visual talent)

The ability to visualize how things will eventually look. To imagine things in your mind's.

Designers, architects and artists would have this intelligence but we also use it to remember the direction, to navigate and to draw as well.





4- Musical intelligence:



The ability to create and interpret music. Most of us have a good musical intelligence, and we can all develop it. All of us remember at least few songs.






5- Bodily / Physical intelligence:

We use it when we move well, run, dance, build and construct something.




6- Inter-Personal intelligence:

The ability to communicate well and get along with others. Many make others feel at ease, to read others reactions and to be sympathetic to others feelings. And this is a vital intelligence; we use it to be a good parent, a supportive colleague or a good teacher.



7- Intra-personal Intelligence:

An ability for quite, objective self-analysis. This leads to being able to understand your own behavior and feeling.

We use this intelligence to create our goals and plans, and to study our own successes and mistakes as a guide to future improvement.





  All the 7 intelligences are equal in value.



The new definition of intelligence: It is the ability to create useful products (anything can be a product ex. Idea, service…..) and solve everyday problems.

Previously, intelligence was defined much more narrowly. It was mostly related to academic performance. This is because academic subjects are largely taught through just 2 intelligences linguistic and mathematical/logical intelligences.

Therefore academic success is not the only way to demonstrate intelligence.

Conclusion:

We all have the capacity that we need to be excellent learners.

Human brain is limitless and most people use only a fraction of their true potential and this is because:

1- They lack self-confidence.

2- They lack an organized approach to learning.

3- They don't know how to learn so that they use their preferred learning style and their full range of intelligence.

Next we will have a plan of six stages of learning.

How information enters our thinking brain?

.
.
How information enters our thinking brain?

In order for information to enter our thinking brain, it is evaluated by our middle brain then it decides wheather it is worthwhile or not.

Don't forget that our middle brain controls emotion or affected marvelessly by emotion.


So if the way we learn includes color, illustrations, games, musical accompaniment, our emotions are engaged positively and we learn better and our brain is like a computer.

One of the most important criteria in an effective teacher is enthusiasim, which increase his/her power in affecting his/her audiences as enthusiasim is full with emotions.


The opposit is absolutly true, when we are under stress or fear information may never even reach our brain, and the same applies with people having poor experiences with learning.

Because they feel they are bad at learning, they are threatened and their thinking brain receives less information and so they learn less effectively.

The secret is to get in a calm, positive mood before start learning.

Each side of the brain has its own style in processing information for learning.

.
.
The third (thinking) brain is divided into 2 halfs.

Each side of the brain has its own style in processing information for learning.


Left brain activities          Right Brain Activities Speech                                   Melody                                                                                                   
Step by step logic                 Patterns                                                      
Numbers                               Intituion

The lesson we can learn is that some people prefer a slow step by step build up of information. ( Linear learners )
Others prefer to see the big picture of the subject. ( Global learner )

However sometimes we use both:

Ex: When we listen to music our left brain will be attending to the words while the right brain will be attending to the melody.
As a result our emotional center will be engaged and the whole brain is actively involved.


In processsing information these cells are connected together by stimulation.
Any time we recieve information new connections happen and some of them become permenant and this is why we remmember.
(This is why we remmember many things without any consious effort like driving cars,..........)




The 2nd lesson is that: It is not the number of cells we have that determines our inteligence but the number of connections our brain makes.

As a result our inteligence is like a muscle, the more you use it the more it grows.

 There is no limit.

How many brains do we have and how they work ?


 .
.
              How many brains do we have and how they work ?

Studies have shown that we use only 2% only of our brain capacity.

Our brain is like a computer without a manual.


This course will tell you how to use it.


The first surprise is that scientists have found that we have 3 brains:
Each evolved after the other.

1-At the base of the skull we have the primative brain. (Orange colour in the picture)

It keeps us breathing, our heart beating, fight, run from danger and also controls more the primative inistincts.



2-Next to evolve is the middle brain ( purpule colour ) that all mammals have and only recently we realized how important it is to learning.It controls the hormonal system, immune system, sexuality, our emotions and important role in long term memory.

So take that into consideration strong emotions and long term memory are controled in the same area of the brain. Ex. When there was an accident, graduation moments, first love in our lives, newborn or death and so on….. We never forgot these moments because it was associated with strong emotins.
Fun and enjoyment are always associated with strong happy emotions so mix it with learning.


3- The third brain ( the rest colours in the pictue ) which is truly extraordinary.
The good news is that it has all the capacity you will ever need to learn anything you need to learn and remember.
It has an incredible capacity of about 100 billion brain cells which is almost equal to 20 times the world's population.

The 6 Principles of this course ( ALT )

.
.
The 6 Principles of this course :
Accelerated Learning Techniques ( ALT )

1- You can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal you want to accomplish to become any person you want to become. There are no limits.


2- Learning how to learn is the key ability, the core competence that makes everything possible in life.


3- Anyone can learn faster, better and easier by discovering how his brain work, then structuring the information so they can be easily absorbed and learned.


4-Your intelligence is not fixed, it is like a muscle, and it grows with use.


5- To earn more you must learn more and since there is no limit of what you can learn there is no limit of what you can earn.


6- You can achieve any goal, solve any problem, and overcome any obstacle by acquiring the required knowledge and skills.


Specific knowledge and skills will become of no value one day but ALT is a permanent skill that you can use for the rest of your life.


The people who learn how to learn faster and earlier were those who have made the first computer or become excellent in their fields before others, and they earn in 1 or 2 years what others earn in 5 or 10 years.


ALT will enhance every area of your life:


1- A better family member: it will allow you help your spouse and children to unlock and realize more of their potential.


2- A better friend: it will allow you help your friends utilize more of their abilities.


3- A better manager: to develop the skills to get far more before others can do.

The two fundamental characteristics necessary for the study of Accelerated Learning Skills

The same applies to anything in life,

Before considering entering upon the study of Accelerated Learning Skills you should assess yourself – do you possess the two fundamental characteristics necessary without which you cannot even begin to develop yourself to your greatest potential?

1. A genuine desire to want to learn, and

2. A strong belief in your ability to learn.

Without fulfilling these basic criteria all the techniques and skills in the world will be of no use whatsoever and you will never fully develop.

"Everyone can learn anything - the only difference is that some take more time than others." Benjamin Bloom

"The limits of learning are largely self-imposed" Colin Rose
