What is this all about ?• this about helping people to learn
• this is about helping you to be more creative and innovative in the way that you “teach” and “train”
• this is about having fun and being relaxed
• this is about helping local government staff be more innovative in the way they work
What are the rules ?• have fun!
• don’t be afraid to take a risk
• no-one is going to look stupid
• relax
• enjoy yourself
• join in with the group
• don’t worry - you can’t fail !
What are WE GOING TO DO ?
For the next few days, we are going to:
• look at different ways of learning
• learn a framework that helps us design training that is innovative
• do lots of practical examples
•explore different techniques
• learn together as a group- learn from each other
Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day...
WHY ?
..help him learn to fish and you feed him for life
I see and I remember
I hear and I forget
I do and I understand
WHY ?
WHY ?
We need to build on people’s experience
The first thing you really enjoyed learning
HOW DID YOU LEARN?
THINK ABOUT…. ?
The time you really DID NOT enjoy learning
Why DID YOU NOT LEARN?
THINK ABOUT…. ?
• to be good teachers - the first thing we should do is stop teaching and help people to learn
• we should realise that our collective knowledge and skills are far more powerful than just us “being the experts”
• to help make it more fun and enjoyable (for all of us) - make people feel good
• to help prepare people for (vital) creative problem-solving in the future
• to help our learners get better outcomes
• to help people learn how to learn
• because it works!
WHY ?
Learning for the Future… in the past we learned from the past.. now we must learn for the future. To learn for the future we must help people learn:
• INTERPERSONAL INTERACTION
• IDEAS AND INNOVATION
• HOW TO INTERPRET NEW INFORMATION
(Bellanca & Fogarty,1992)
WHY ?
Learning for the Future…
INTERPERSONAL INTERACTION
• our world is growing more diverse
• it is full of all sorts of different people
• we must help people to learn how to interact with different people
• we must help people to interact in different ways
• we must help people to learn from each other in different ways
WHY ?
Learning for the Future…
IDEAS AND INNOVATION
• we must help people learn how to deal with new information and ideas
• information is changing so rapidly, we must help people learn through change
• we must encourage people to have new ideas and develop them
• we must help people learn using all their learning skills
WHY ?
Learning for the Future…
HOW TO INTERPRET NEW INFORMATION
• we must help people learn what is useful from the past
• we must help people to learn to make good choices
• we must help people to learn problem-solving
• we must help people to be creative
• we must help people to deal with conflict
WHY ?
WHY ?Because people learn in all sorts of different ways:
Background ?In the early 1960s, Roger Sperry, a
psychologist in the USA, performed some experiments. He discovered that the brain is separated into two halves - two separate hemispheres.
LEFT BRAIN & RIGHT BRAIN
He found that each side of the brain has different roles and functions.
Background ?LEFT BRAIN , RIGHT BRAIN &
“REPTILLIAN” BRAIN
He found that each side of the brain has different roles and functions. At the back of the brain, close to the neck and spine, is the “reptillean” brain - which controls very basic thought processes
Background ?LEFT BRAIN & RIGHT BRAIN
Left Brain
•Language, logic,numbers, sequence, details, linear, symbols, judgement
Background ?LEFT BRAIN & RIGHT BRAIN
Right Brain
•images, rhythm, music, imagination, colour, look at the whole picture, patterns, emotions, non-judgmental.
Background ?The left Brain and the right Brain work
together - they are not competition with each other. Being innovative and creative depends on us using and exercising both sides of the brain
LEFT BRAIN & RIGHT BRAIN
Working Together!
Background ?Since then, a number of psychologists
and learning specialist have identified a number of learning intelligences - different ways in which we learn:
Linguistic
Logical/Mathematical
Visual/Spatial
Bodily/Kinesthetic
Musical
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
Naturalistic
Background ?Since then, a number of psychologists
and learning specialist have identified a number of learning intelligences - different ways in which we learn:
Linguistic
•Working with words
•reading, crosswords, word-games
•telling stories
•arguments/debates/discussions
•listen to radio or audio cassettes
Background ?Logical/Mathematical
• working with numbers - maths
• doing budgets and accounts
• step-by-step, logical
• putting things in logical groups -order
• planning and putting in detail - timetables
• liking science, chemistry, maths, engineering
Background ?Visual/Spatial
• enjoy art, films, television
• photography, drawing, video
• draw pictures for notes - “doodles”
• like pictures, diagrams and graphs
• see how “things might look”
• imagination
• like jigsaw puzzles
Background ?Bodily/Kinesthetic
• enjoy sport and physical exercise
• good at craft and building things
•like dancing, games, playing with children
• use hand gestures and touch
• like to feel things
• aware of your physical surroundings
Background ?Musical
• playing a musical instrument, singing
• understand rhythm and patterns
• follow the “sound of music”
• can see images when music plays
• good at languages
• good memory for sounds
Background ?Interpersonal
• working with others -team
• team sports, groups etc
• communicate well
• talking and sharing
• treat others as friends
Background ?Intrapersonal
• think on your own
• strong values and beliefs
• prefer to learn on your own
•relate it to “you”
Background ?Naturalisitic
• good with animals
• good at gardening -growing things
• fishing
• natural things -stars, rocks, animals
• act on “feelings”
Background ?
So, how do we develop a system of learning that uses both the the LEFT & RIGHT brain ?
And how do we develop a system of learning that encourages all of the learning styles or
intelligences ?Linguistic
Logical/Mathematical
Visual/Spatial
Bodily/Kinesthetic
Musical
Interpersonal
Intrapersonal
Naturalistic
Background ?We are going to use system developed
by an American teacher:
BERNICE McCARTHY….
It is called the
4-MAT system

Background ?The 4-MAT system:
• helps us to plan and design our learning experiences (“lessons” and “training workshops”)
•reminds us to include both the right and the left side of the brain
•reminds us to explore all of the learning intelligences
•gives us a format (4-mat) or “recipe” for how to design learning experiences
Lets start…..Early experiments by DAVID KOLB (1974)
Showed us that there were 4 types of learners (like the different learning intelligences)
Watching
Sensing/feeling
Thinking
Doing
Type 1
Type 2Type 3
Type 4
4-MAT
Watching
Sensing/feeling
Thinking
Doing
AWARENESS - I become aware that something is happening that I am interested in
PERSONAL - I take in your information and I think how it may effect me. Tell me more about some people like me
COLLABORATION - let me share and talk with others about how we will use this in the future
MANAGEMENT _ show me how I can manage this information and use it .
INFORMATIONAL - give me little bit more information about what I am seeing/feeling
RE-FOCUSING - let me think about this new things and decide how to use it in the future

Create an experience that engages personal meaning
Analyse the experience
Use the experience to set questions for more knowledge
Provide detailed information and knowledge
Share the learning with others
Analyse the results
Adapt and experiment
Try it out -guided -like a “recipe”
