learning styles

In Episode 159 we covers the topic of ADHD and Higher Education. As usual, Alex the Psycho.......education Monkey delivers the evidence behind the subject, all three ADHD Adults give their personal reflections on HE and their tips, and then we answer your questions in the final section. 'What has James lost, forgotten or mislaid this week?" returns with James surging ahead at 9-7 for the season, The Metrics Intern continues telling us about the cities we have listeners in, and Alex disappears, Mrs ADHD would only consider professional acting in Stoke-on-Trent and James recreated Jurassic Park for his students...

There are two big ways to learn: 

Active learning: Someone tells you what to learn, how to learn it, on a set schedule, on pre-selected standardized topics.

Passive learning: You let your mind wander with no intended destination. You read and learn broadly, talk to people from various backgrounds, and stumble haphazardly across topics you had never considered but spark your curiosity, often because it’s the topic you happen to need at that specific time of your life.

I can’t be alone in realizing that most of what I’ve learned in life has come from passive learning.

In this episode, I talk to Perry Zurn and Dani Bassett about curiosity. For them, curiosity is not just about gaining knowledge, it’s about connecting to the world and to each other. Each individual has their own style of connecting - they can be busybodies, hunters, or dancers at any given time. Perry and Dani also weigh in on how social media affects curiosity and how their network model of curiosity can improve education.
