Ways of learning (scholarly practice) and how it impacts life.
WAYS AND STYLES OF LEARNING
Exploring modalities to self-regulate anxiety (Banks & Hirschman, 2015)
Using creative and technological tools for supporting extensive learnings in scholarly practice. Balancing with health and wellbeing:
Books Prints and Chapters - stimulate imagination, emotion, empathy, and cognitive system;
-Digital information, blogs, Ebooks: Using the computer to support detailed studies. Highlight essential topics.
-Audiobooks: promotes space for moving the body;
Artistic tools for supporting memory, fluidity, and creative writing in essays;
Pictorial, symbols, and schematics images promote embodiment, structure, clear thoughts of the mind; ( Hacker, Keener, & Kircher 2009).
I am sharing my challenges of studying academic content, transforming obstacles into creative ways of learning. Get comfortable with the discomfort ( Johnson, 2019).
Reflecting on the Waldorf Schools systems as a holistic, humanistic, and integrative approach. Supporting academic and abstract content with creative and sensorial ways of learning through music, storytelling, visual arts ( Steiner, 1995, 1996).
Engaging in the understanding of: How does my brain function to stimulus? What stimulus awakens my brain? And help me focus on reading? ( Brainscape Academy)
Inspiration and motivation are the keys to successful learning.
COMMUNICATION AND DIALOGUE
The importance of creating actual dialogue in learning. (not being reactive) bringing compassion into the discussions that we engage in. (Reference: Bohm, D. (2004)) C.D.
Real open dialogue creates more understanding and openness to others ideas, creating acceptance
Compassionate, open communication and dialogue is crucial for the world right now. Looking at the examples of witch hunts and the backlashes at the colleges in the US which started from trivial events, it is scary to look at how the world is divided right now. (Reference: Lukianoff, G., & Haidt, J. (2019) - Coddling) C.D.
12 Rules for Life - Jordan Petterson - Rule 6 - Set your own house in perfect order before you critazie the world.
The importance of doing the inner emotional work. (Reference: Peterson. J. B. 2019)
Parrahesia - the obligation and necessity of candid, courageous communication
(Reference: T. Dowie. (2020)
The impact of dialogue and idea sharing to help me understand, synthesise and embody my studies - discussion makes for great great class and subject engagement as well as help with study, organising thoughts outside of the classroom. (Reference: Bohm, D. (2004)) C.D.
Learning about note taking and how to reflect in writing with healthy critical thinking
We need more than just learning how to think in all levels of education, we need to learn how to feel, emotionally regulate and communicate!
SPEAKING & LISTENING
Education systems based on learning from the principle of Paedia and communal coversation provide a richer form of learning as well as the development of a growth mindset. This is compared to an education system based on listening to memorise and recite what was one is being told. (Lipari. 2010) C & D
Learning to think is a necessity for the entire population. • Listening, thinking and communicating are all important components of the learning process and the development of ideas. (Paideia Center. 2015 and Lipari. 2010) C & D
The art of real communication and the importance of listening to understand rather than listening with preconceived ideas enables a person to consider alternative view points and think before responding. This allows for the development of new ideas. (Lipari. 2010)
Scholarly Practice based on the principles of Paideia and Parrhesia allows for not only the development of knowledge but also the development of oneself. (Dowie. 2020)
The literacy skills we learn at schools are preparation for the continuation of those skills throughout a lifetime. How you're treated and taught at school effects not only what you learn but your mindset in life.This is where the education systems are impacting peoples lives and society as a whole. Education based on paideia learning sets us up for a society that is open to new ideas. (Paideia Center. 2015) C & D
Reflection on my own experience with different tertiary education systems. (C & D

**ORIGINAL INSPIRATION
(not used for final presentation)
“The more we quieten our mind and connect instinctively with the things that are important to us the more we find out about what really lights us up and what actually motivates us. -**
Quote by Kerwin Rae from video
Distractions
“There’s a guy in this coffee shop sittting at a table, not on his phone, not on a laptop, just drinking coffee, like a psychopath.” A man not justifying his existence through constant work or constant social connectivity. Psychopathy seems the only logical explanation. Unless, of course, he happens to possess a tranquil mind.” (Jacobs. 2020)
Our brains are constantly being bombarded with problems to solve, tasks to complete, information to decipher, alerts and messages on our phones constantly and just too many things on our plate to do that it does not provide us the ability to quieten our mind and really focus on the things that are important to us, light us up or motivate us.
“Psychological research long ago proved what most of us know from experience: frequent interruptions scatter our thoughts, weaken our memory, and make us tense and anxious. The more complex the train of thought we’re involved in, the greater the impairment the distractions cause.” (The Juggler’s Brain)
People have lost a sense of balance in their lives. We have lost a sense of what things are truly important to us and what will really enrich our lives at a soul level.
Materiality and obsession with getting the bigger house and better car etc. is driving these need to work hard. Loss sight of the things that are important and make us truly happy which are not material items.
We are engrained at a young age to go to school, get good grades so we can get a good job that will earn us a good income. Not really given time to find out who we are and what truly lights us up and motivates us and then follow this passion and find our true purpose and calling in life.
Not taught to have a growth mindset and one where failure is ok and is the best way to learn and a grow. There is a focus on being the best.

Finding Meaning in a Chaotic World.
Multi-sensory experience arises from the 5 building blocks of lived experiences.
Self care practices in nature as a therapist.
Present moment.
Meditation.
balance physical, psychological and mental.
Observing rhythms and cycles ( Goethe, Steiner).
Finding therapy in Nature
intersubjectivity field.
Phenomenological method in practice.
Bracketing.
Horizontaling.
Mirroring.
Connecting to a natural self in capitalism.
Distractions are a result of an overcomplicated lifestyle.
Meaning should be given by my place in a community.
How engrained commercialism biases our viewpoints and definitions of what constitutes a meaningful life. We always needed meaning.
"What quietens our minds and motivates us" is still a quote that is produced from an entrepreneurial and capitalistic mindset.
Purpose and practical steps
Do Less, Be More
Education reward system - learning is the intrinsic reward not the grade or the treat afterwards (carrot on a stick)- learn for the joy of learning
The importance of morning practices to create stillness and silence to connect with yourself, centre and purpose.
Getting up at 5am. Movement. Meditation.
Bring the body into harmony to the natural cycles.
(Reference: The 5am Club. Robin Sharma)
The Perfect Day Plan - Jost Sauer)
Healthy stress in life (and study) helps build resilience and grow (coddling book reference) and liken it to rites of passages and the healthy challenge as part of the process of transformation
History-Maker Focus #2: Freedom from Distraction "An addiction to distraction is the death of your creative process" - tech and social media distracting people and training us to be less human (The 5am Club)
