    Mark is actually describing what makes the Finnish Education System so succesful: during the first years of basic comprehensive school (age seven to age sixteen), kids are basically not graded. No high stakes tests, mostly verbal assesments and so on. So the atmosphere is relaxed and that leads to children learning more and better. Remove the stress and learning gets to be a happy activity. Genius analogy BTW, well done Mark.

      Has it changed recently? It's been about 15 years since I ended that school. Back then we definitely had tests and even "surprise tests" (not sure of the phrase) that were all graded. I didn't mind at all. My parents had come up with a reward system for excellent grades, so I was looking forward to them most of the time. That being said, I like Rober's idea. In university we had a whole course completely gamified and it was the most interesting and immersive educational experience I've ever had. I kept sinking in hours into it night after night. It was a team competition which made it even more exciting.

    I remember watching a documentary about video games. Video game designers mentioned that in later Mario titles they replaced the "Game Over" screen with a "Continue" screen. This was to encourage players to keep playing. Novice video game players would take "Game Over" too literally and stop playing all together. Video game psychology should be implemented more in education.

Now I realize it can be so different from how they do it, and now I love it and am learning lots of things I've always wanted to but never had the confidence to, and I feel myself learning so fast. I can finally ignore the sting of failure that was once driven into me.

      ​@@EnchWraits Whatever you want to learn, spend a lot of time on the basics. The key is to learn those basics from a bunch of different sources! Each teacher will fill in the gaps of another teacher's lesson, or present things in a way that's easier for a particular person to understand. This strategy helps you get a firm grasp so that everything you learn from that point on will stick way easier. TH-cam is great for this. I never rely fully on one teacher or source. It can also be a much more relaxing way to learn because there is no pressure to understand everything right away. You just have to expose yourself to the content. It will work its way into your understanding through repeated exposure. Do some practice or research whenever you're inspired or have a question too. I hope this advice helps you and anyone reading!
      tl;dr: Repetition of exposure to the basics from a variety of teachers/sources.

      Honeslty I don't want to be offensive to anyone because I understand that it's difficult for other people to learn at school but that's just what makes the weak... If I learned anything from this video it's to not give up, you guys are just making comments implying that our school is so rigged that only a few make it out fine. That's not true, if you really do what you're supposed to and keep going you will get good grades and actually learn things, it's up to you whether you want to or not. Again, I feel where you guys are at, my biology teacher just sat there and gave us a boring lecture but I keep going and eventually passed with a 98% and actually learned everything.

      We had a teacher that made school opposite
      She usually would explain a concept, solve only 2 or 3 easier problem of that concept and those 2 or 3 problems would cost us 51 years (get the reference) and then clas dismissed
      Next ,new topic, same 2 or 3 problems , class dismissed
      And suddenly there's this surprise test that was set up in a unique way
      Firstly the questions were worded to have the Guinness record for the most confusing ones ever
      Secondly it was ensured that those questions are nowhere to be found, not in math books , not on the internet
      And the catch was you had infinite attempts so u could make multiple copies of the question paper and solve it over a week at home , school toilet whatever , and in that you could submit and the marks would get to privately
      But not the answers just marks
      She later got fired tho

    I have struggled in the modern education system my whole life. The way I learn best is just like Mark explained, and as someone with learning “disabilities”, I’ve always struggled to keep up with any educational system due to the emotional and mental stress involved. It’s all about the grade: did you fail or succeed? You made a mistake, your grade gets docked. You won’t get anywhere unless you have high grades etc That always stressed me out. And in school there isn’t really any going back to “try again” unless you’re Rick and have all the time one the world (even then often you cannot).
    Learning should be fun, memorable, and focused on the actual learning process and not always perfection along the way. Mistakes should be an opportunity to learn and grow rather than an accumulating sense of failure for when you actually struggle. There are also so many different learning styles, yet overall the education system is caters really only to one or a select few.
    This leads to people like me struggling, breaking down due to stress physically and mentally, and eventually quitting due to trauma and the inability to keep up. Self-esteem goes out the window, and as you watch other succeed where you couldn’t (because you were not allowed to due to your differences), you eventually begin to believe the lies that you could never be as smart as persons xyz.
    I hope someday we actually apply real science and real learning theory (as well as a dose of compassion and empathy) to our education system, both primary, secondary, and beyond.
    And while I don’t have all the answers, I do heartily believe we are doing a disservice to students of all ages everywhere when we don’t cultivate an environment of learning, but rather an environment that expects us to get everything correct the first time. The latter is obviously unrealistic, and also doesn’t leave a lasting impression in your long term learning memory: mistakes and failed attempts are one of the best ways to learn - you will know the whys, the hows, and the why nots so much better than you would if you just only got things “right” all the time. Scientifically speaking, this also leads to stagnation: if we assume what we know or did is right and there are no other options possible, we won’t grow or think outside the box.
    Wonderful Ted Talk. This is why I recommend TH-camrs like Mark Rober, Smarter Every Day, and dog trainers like Susan Garret to people. It’s important to make learning fun and accessible, while also encouraging people to take on big challenges without fearing failure.

    The problem with school is that it doesn’t encourage you to try again or to keep doing it till you get it right. What school ends up being is you either get it right or you don’t and usually your left with a grade your not happy with and can’t go back to fix. Schools need to stop expecting “perfection” from students as they are the ones trying to learn and do better, not master the material in one go.

      You might find more success with less focus on the failures. The negative feelings towards failing are unnecessary, and don't help in any way. Although it may be inevitable to be disappointed from a failure, depending on the consequences.
      It is much better to learn rather than any other outcome from failure. So the need for disappointment or negative feelings are unnecessary, and harmful to learning.

    Absolutely beautiful Ted talk. I just wish that school’s would apply this logic. My biggest issue with school is that its mentality is all wrong. Every single aspect of it has issues but this is the biggest problem, whenever you get a below average grade you end up mourning your failure and end up compensating for the failure for the rest of the year. If school positively incentivizes your grade instead of punishing you for getting hit by a metaphorical green shell, than our education may end up being so much better than that of our eastern neighbors.

    Something REALLY great about gamification is that it's also VERY useful for individuals with memory disorders that affect short term memory. And the thing is, ADHD is one such disorder in that it not only impairs short term memory, but it also affects all levels of executive functioning. Gamification actually helps to handle the symptoms that occur from this, but only if said gamification also has an actual level of accountability involved. By creating that level of accountability, you're essentially creating an alternate reward circuit and this allows you to train yourself to engage in tasks by breaking them down into smaller bits that are dealt with one by one, and in short chunks of time followed by tiny little breaks to recenter yourself. It essentially takes the problems with focusing and impulse control that most with ADHD experience and use them to get things done.

    • @Lewkis01
      @Lewkis01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Beautifully said. As someone with ADHD, learning and retaining are slippery slopes. I have learned that dopamine is a key component to retention. If I can be "taught" something in a way that makes it enjoyable, I'm far more likely to actually retain what I learned. Sit me in front of some sort of slide presentation, a text, a droning video.. I'll most likely be more engaged counting the dots on the ceiling and remember nothing. This is important to me because I also have a young son with ADHD, and I do everything I can to help him avoid or get through the pitfalls I had growing up (and still do in a lot of cases), as well as helping anyone that instruct him understand the way he learns things.

    Imagine if instead of having to go through 5 questions and click submit on a homework assignment online, the questions were all formatted so that if you got one wrong it instead gave you a question that was similar and taught the same idea. Then once you finished all five questions, there was a final question that required knowledge from all 5 previous questions to complete. For example:
    1. What is x? 25 = 5x
    2. What are the coordinates of the point on the graph?
    3. If y = 8, what is x? y = 4x + 3
    4. A rock is submerging through water at 2 feet per second. x = the number of seconds that have gone by and y = the depth the rock is currently at. If the rock is 16 feet underwater and then 6 seconds pass, how deep is the rock now?
    5. A ball starts on the ground 20 feet away from the finish line. The ball is rolling towards the finish line at 4 feet per second. Create an equation to show how long it will take until the distance the ball is from the finish line is 0, showing that it has crossed.
    Final Question (Boss Question): A red fish and a blue fish are swimming around looking for food. They then both see a smaller fish that can be eaten and isn't moving. The red fish is fast and can move 8 feet every second, but starts 60 feet away. The blue fish is slower and moves 5 feet every second, but starts 35 feet away. Which fish will arrive at the smaller fish first?

    AMAZING TALK.
    I'll share my experience related to this.
    I personally don't like memorizing, I can't memorize well, and I really hate activities that needs memorizing. In order for me to learn, I need to understand why or how and so.
    Now for starters I'm a really lazy person that does things like few hours away from deadlines but at the same time I didn't want to fail school. So I was willing to sacrifice my whole 11th grade, ready to fail and repeat for me to know what's the most effective study method for me just enough that I could get a passing grade. And yes I did succeed in finding the effective study method for me, and had really good grades, rank 2 in our class.
    On 12th grade, covid was in our country, and classes were taught online and long story short, yep online classes are not for me. I was not taking my 12th grade seriously compared to the previous years just enough to pass and have received the lowest grade that I had in my life which was 79 on a major subject. (100 is the highest and 75 is the min. passing). I still passed but I didn't graduate as an honor student and since I had a line of 7, it was hard for me to have a scholarship.
    After 12th grade, I didn't continue to college since I knew online classes aren't really for me. After a school year, face to face classes is back, I now enrolled to a local public college and had a full-time job (8 hours). Its hard because I had classes everyday even Saturday and Sundays and had 4 hours sleep or less, and I sometimes end up oversleeping.
    During exams I only study (with that effective study method of mine) for an hour or less and sometimes I just study when I arrive in the classroom (sometimes the instructor is late, thank God) with the mindset of not being pressured and scared to fail and repeat the subject. I end up having good scores and some exams I was the top scorer.
    First semester is done and for now my grades are 1.00 as the highest and 1.50 as the lowest, and tbh there's still 4 subjects that hasn't given grades maybe I'll get a 2.00+ who knows. (1.00 as the highest grade, 5.00 as the lowest, 3.00 is the passing I think except for major subs idk).
    Listening to this talk I now understand why I fail in my language learning and when I tried to learn the guitar. I was both in a hurry to learn them, both scared and dissapointed of failure. Thinking back, when I was learning Japanese and I couldn't write あ I gave up. And yep it was the most stupidest thing since that's the first letter/symbol and I gave up after an hour or so not being able to write it. And in guitar, my sister was always mocking me of how I play so I was desperate to learn fast which I also gave up after some time.
    I even saw some people learn by making the lessons as a song (personally) or some really made a game or video game out of it (on the internet).
    This is really an amazing talk, gave me some insights, and made me realize things, thank you so much!

      It depends on the goal, is the goal to teach as many people as possible then no loss leads to more people successfully completing the test. Having loss seems to teach those that make it in less tries but also less people make it to the end. There is something to be said for both approaches.

    What Mark is suggesting that we remove the negative consequences that comes from learning focus on support and positive reinforcement. Failing an exam or a course while your peers pass and continue on to be rewarded with more advantage while you are stuck in the same place only encourages fear.

      The tests however shouldn't be worth a damn thing and have no part in your 'value' as a student. I can't imagine the terror in a person who isn't adept at test taking when a teacher would proclaim an upcoming test to be worth 30% of the grade.

    I am currently attending graduate school for science education and I can not explain how much this talk describes my motivation for wanting to teach science. All due to a mundane, fixed mind set instilling, and impassionate teacher who just totally kills the student's curiosity of the subject. Instead of focusing on rote memorization of science we need to have a reevaluation of just how crazy the science of reality actually is. When its taught in a way that makes it seems as all unrelated and irrelevant topics, of course the student will become disinterested. However, when its presented in a way that accentuates the mysteriousness of reality it and how it does what it does, it gives a chance for us to rekindle the child like curiosity within us all.
