Talking with your peers and your students as you are all learning together in my opinion creates active learning and teaching. It furthermore opens up avenues to new opportunities of diving that divers never imagined they would do. Great interview Steve and Woody!
Another very happy recipitant of Steve's Prior Knowledge training for my IDC at Scuba Dream back in 2020. it made for the most intense and rewarding week of my life! plus Steve is a truly lovely gent to spend a week with. His teachings are still in use every day since, not just when im teaching diving.
I think its important to note that my inital instructor was also taught the Prior Knowledge and so ive been taught off my knees from day one. and the benefits from seeing other divers not diving but waiting is night and day.
Gentlemen, I have a potential video for you. It is ice dive rescue and overhead environment. Maybe you already did this one. It has all kinds of elements to study regarding critical decision making. Spidey sense. Lung injuries etc. body recovery under the ice is the title. David Burnell is the artist. Happy Hunting
His point is let students learn rather than you thinking you have to teach them by talking too much and otherwise they aren’t learning. Guide them into true learning by a more subtle approach. He has other videos on this as well. Message Steve to get further clarification if you have questions. It’s a remarkable approach.
@@PaulLoveless-Cincinnatidefinitely message Steve. He amazing at responding and explaining further. Great question actually and it goes into a much further dialogue of the psychology of how people “learn”. :)😊
Hi Paul! a great question. I deliberately used the word "learn" because that is the aim of any lesson. When I "teach" instructors, I use terms like "allow your students to learn" and "don't teach courses - teach people" These sound like sound-bites, but once you get the true idea of what they mean they're really powerful. But Paul, these are not really my ideas! The greatest teacher of all time was the Greek philosopher Socrates. The ideas that I talk about are very much a Socratic way of teaching.
Steve and Janet are just an amazing team. Go team Prior!
I love these interviews, sometimes I find it annoying about the connection but that’s nothing you can actually do about it
I still use "Don't teach courses, Teach People" Thanks to Steve, Janet and the Prior Knowledge family.

Am I missing the point or did he use the word "learn" when he should have said "teach"?
