The Problem and Its Solution: What stops us from Learning?

Recording Summary

Sandeep discussed the importance of live streaming on YouTube, the need for structured research and experimentation, and the concept of memory and its implications on learning. He also emphasized the importance of embracing mistakes as learning opportunities, the use of pen and paper for better thinking and memory retention, and the need for acknowledging AI assistance in assignments. Lastly, he provided information about various resources available to participants and encouraged them to attend the Global Educators Fest in August.

Part I – The Problem and Its Solution | Chapter 1: The Problems of Learning

It is very important to define the problem before we think of its solution. This is the hardest part.

In this session, we explored the core problems that stand in the way of effective learning:

🔹 Failing to Remember – Struggling to retain information over time.

🔹 Failing to Understand – Struggling to make meaningful sense of what we learn.

🔹 Failing to Transfer – Struggling to apply knowledge and skills to new situations.

We discussed forgetting things in detail during this session.

Trick to remember: Learn ➔ Forget ➔ Retrieve ➔ Relearn ➔ Repeat over time.

We will explore failing to understand and failing to transfer in our next session.

I'm looking forward to continuing our journey of deeper learning together!
