Manage episode 387637796 series 2906401
Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of Inside Learning! In this instalment, we are thrilled to host a true revolutionary in the education industry, someone who has not only coined the 'courses to resources' shift but has also introduced the groundbreaking affective context model of learning and crafted the innovative 5Di© approach to human-centred learning design.
Our guest today boasts an impressive three-decade track record of shaping the future of learning approaches for both public and private organizations. Not only is he a winner of multiple awards in people development strategy, innovation, and learning content, but he's also a cherished friend of Learnovate. To top it off, he is the author of the enlightening book 'How People Learn.' Join us in welcoming the insightful Nick Shackleton-Jones!
In our conversation, Nick sheds light on the flaws of the present education system, stating that it's "based on an incorrect understanding of cognition and learning." He delves into the historical circumstances and industrial age requirements that shaped our current system, advocating for an optimal education model that seamlessly integrates learning and work throughout an individual's life. His vision emphasizes task-based learning derived from real-world issues, with recognition based on accomplishments that directly influence employment opportunities.
Drawing inspiration from the ancient Greek philosopher Plutarch, who declared in 200 BC, "The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled," Nick challenges the conventional approach of trying to force content into people's heads. He discusses the need for a paradigm shift, where education sparks the fire within individuals rather than merely filling their minds.
Nick introduces us to the game-changing "Affective Context Model," presenting an empirically grounded theory of learning. He explores the fascinating concept that people can share the same experiences yet remember different things, emphasizing that true learning occurs when individuals genuinely care about the subject matter.
But that's not all – our conversation takes an exciting turn as we delve into the role of AI in learning. Nick Shackleton-Jones shares his insights on how AI can be harnessed to enhance the learning experience, providing valuable perspectives on the intersection of technology and education.
Join us on this enlightening journey as we unravel the intricacies of learning, challenge traditional paradigms, and explore the exciting potential of AI in education.
