This week was mainly our introduction to our teacher, Khyati Tripathi ma'am, and the subject "Learning How to Learn". The name of the subject itself is so intriguing that we all were curious about what this subject was and our purpose of studying it. It was not a usual session of some subject where we go, study, and come back. It was quite more interactive and fun.

WHAT IS CRITICAL THINKING?

A statement by Michael Scriven & Richard Paul, presented at the 8th Annual International Conference on Critical Thinking and Education Reform, Summer 1987.

Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that transcend subject matter divisions: clarity, accuracy, precision, consistency, relevance, sound evidence, good reasons, depth, breadth, and fairness
Critical thinking is the ability to make informed decisions by evaluating several different sources of information objectively. As such, critical thinkers possess many other essential skills, including analysis, creativity, problem-solving and empathy.
Example of critical thinking Problem-solving, Risk assessment, Data analysis, Talent hiring etc.

Exploring learning tools: Focused modes of thinking, Chunking, Recalling, Pomodoro Technique, Journaling. 

# data[].attributes.body
There are two modes of thinking that our brain possesses:

The Focused Mode: In this mode, the brain is "focused" and is directly able to solve problems it is familiar with. To get a better understanding of the focused mode, we can think of the analogy of how a pinball machine works. In the focused mode, the bumpers of the pinball machine are very close and they follow a pattern, rather than randomly moving around.

The Diffuse Mode: If the brain is not in its focused state, it is in the diffuse mode, which is where the brain can make random connections and move freely around the bumpers as shown above. Also, in the diffuse mode, the brain holds a relaxed approach to solving problems. Interestingly, when your brain needs to find a solution, it turns to this mode since there is a pathway to follow and because it needs to develop new thoughts.

Chunking: It is the process by which the mind divides large pieces of information into smaller units (chunks) that are easier to retain. It is a strategy used to improve memory performance. Chunking can help to organize information in a more manageable way

Recalling:   Recall refers to the simple process of remembering something without any cues, and in the physical absence of that thing.
• Recalling the name of a person or answering a question are some examples of recall.

Pomodoro Technique: The Pomodoro Technique is a time management system that encourages people to work with the time they have—rather than against it. Using this method, you break your workday into 25-minute chunks separated by five-minute breaks. These intervals are referred to as Pomodoro. After about four pomodoros, you take a longer break of about 15 to 20 minutes.

Journaling: Derived from Latin word ‘Journ’ which means ‘a day’.
• A journal means keeping a log or record of activities in chronological order.
• It refers to the practice of recording one’s personal experiences, events, and emotions.
• This technique is used for reducing stress, to develop self-awareness and insights.
• Journaling is a fun and journey.
• There is no right or wrong way to journal.

'Learning to learn' is the ability to pursue and persist in learning, to organize one's own learning, including through. effective management of time and information, both individually and in groups. This competence includes awareness.
When students can direct their learning and know how they learn best, they can also better navigate the wide range of available choices in school and beyond. ... Learning to learn is particularly important when teachers are no longer a main source of information and knowledge.

TEACHINGS METHODS

In this Ted Talk, Joe Ruhl explains teaching methods for inspiring students of the future. He discusses what has brought him success in inspiring students for over more than 35 years. One major focus of his talk is the specific methods that he refers to as “The 5 C's”. An introduction to the 5 C's begins at about the minute 2:05 of the video.

KEYS POINTS

Our brains are wired for the 5 C's

It requires a shift from a teacher-centered classroom to a student-centered classroom

It is important to give a diverse variety of methods for students to learn the same material

Successful teachers must be passionate for both the subject, as well as the students.

She started the class by making us listen to a song by coke studio named “ Paar channa de”.

this song has been extracted from “Sohni Mahiwal Love Story”.

In the song Sohni makes a plan to take a clay pot and swim across the other end of the river to meet her beloved. She will also carry a clay pot with her which will make swimming easier for her. This whole conversation is heard by her sister-in-law which then makes an unbaked clay pot to stop soni from crossing the river successfully. Sohni took the pot and began her journey to meet her lover.  When she was a quarter of the way across, she realized something was wrong.  The sturdy piece of pottery that served as her lifesaver was melting into the water.  She called for her Mahiwal.  Mahiwal heard his love’s cries.  He swam as far as he could with his limp leg.  He met her drowning body halfway through the river but he could not hold himself up against the current.  While holding on to each other, they both drowned in the Chenab River.”

In that song, it seems as if Sohni knows her fate, and is begging for the pot to make it to the shore, so she could meet her beloved one last time. But just when she’s this close to meeting Mahiwal, the pot dissolves in water, and she drowns.

After listening to the song, ma'am asked us what did we observe in the video, in that, we observed that Sohni does a conversation with an inanimate object, the pot. In addition to this, ma'am told us her example that how she talks to her diary about anything and everything, and also, she told us when she was in London for her research studies, she could not write in her diary for about two months and when she came back, she apologized to it for not using it. She then told all of us to think about the conversations we have with inanimate objects in our everyday life.

ABOUT THE MOVIE
The Social Dilemma is a 2020 American docudrama film directed by Jeff Orlowski.
The film dives into the manipulation techniques it claims that social media companies use to addict their users and the psychology that is leveraged to achieve this end. The interviewees state that this often leads to increased depression and increased suicide rates among teens and young adults.

PURPOSE OF THE MOVIE
The Social Dilemma” points out that many social networks exploit human weakness by designing with something called positive intermittent reinforcement in mind. Tristan Harris, a former Google design ethicist and one of the experts interviewed in the film, compares it to a Vegas slot machine.

THINGS THAT I LEARNED FROM THE MOVIE
There is still life like the 'good old days' outside of social media. It pays to turn it off and truly connect with people. You can go for a meal or spend time outdoors doing an activity you enjoy with friends. Screen time only takes away our ability to truly connect and leaves us with a false sense of self-worth

Find out one fake news/ WhatsApp forward by yourself. Give reasons for believing it and also for not believing it.

The  fake news that I received on WhatsApp and forwarded was that many people were claiming that the third wave of the Corona virus was arriving. There was also word that the third wave of the Corona virus will have a greater impact on children. However, it turned out to be false information because it has yet to arrive.

The fake  news that I couldn't believe was that Mahendra Singh Dhoni would retire from the IPL after the 2021 season. There were many messages about his retirement on Whatsapp and social media sites, but I discovered that there was no formal confirmation from him, thus the rumour was false.

The word learning is used routinely in discussions about teaching in higher education, so it’s important to clarify what we are referring to when we talk about learning. Educational researchers agree that learning is much deeper than memorization and information recall. Deep and long-lasting learning involves understanding, relating ideas and making connections between prior and new knowledge, independent and critical thinking and ability to transfer knowledge to new and different contexts

A 16-year-old student explains how learning to unlearn could provide the key to battling pollution in Vietnam. Ana Samudio is a Panamanian expatriate and BIS student. Her talk focuses on the idea of learning to "unlearn". Being a member of the Global Goals Club, she has become particularly interested in the application of this idea on the attainability of sustainable development. In an international school with such a strong community group and partners, it is imperative in our spreading of awareness on the local-global issues to remember and understand that our ideas can often be wrong. With this in mind, she hopes to share her ideas on the challenge our fear of change and "unlearning" pose to sustainability. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Learning is a lifetime process. There is no particular or proper way to learn something. Everyone has a different way of learning. It is not only about content, facts, processes, or methods. It is way more diverse than that. All living is learning. If we compare the simple, crude ways in which a child feels and behaves, with the complex modes of adult behavior, his skills, habits, thought, sentiments, and the like- we will know what difference learning has made to the individual.

Inquiry learning includes creating questions, mentioning objective facts, doing research to discover what data is now recorded, creating strategies for tests, creating instruments for information assortment, gathering, investigating, and deciphering information, plotting potential clarifications and making expectations for future examination.

Explicit learning measures that understudies take part in during request learning include:

· Creating inquiries of their own

· Obtaining supporting proof to answer the question(s)

· Explaining the proof gathered

· Connecting the clarification to the information got from the analytical cycle

· Creating a contention and avocation for the clarification

Level 1: Structured Inquiry:

The educator gives the underlying inquiry and a layout of the system. Understudies are to define clarifications of their discoveries through assessing and investigating the information that they gather.

Level 2: Confirmation Inquiry:

The educator has instructed a specific science topic or point. The instructor at that point creates questions and a methodology that guides understudies through an action where the outcomes are now known. This strategy is extraordinary to fortify ideas instructed and to acquaint understudies into learning with follow techniques, gather and record information accurately and to affirm and extend understandings.

Level 3: Guided Inquiry:

The instructor gives just the examination question to the understudies. The understudies are liable for planning and following their own methods to test that address and afterward impart their outcomes and discoveries.

Level 4: Open Inquiry:

Understudies figure their own examination question(s), plan and finish a created strategy, and impart their discoveries and results. This sort of request is regularly found in science reasonable settings where understudies drive their own analytical inquiries.

Why exactly do we ask questions?

1. To acquire knowledge

2. To eliminate confusion

3. To cause someone else to feel special/important

4. To guide a conversation in the direction we want it to go

5. To demonstrate humility to another

6. To enable a person to discover answers for themselves

7. To gain empathy through better understanding another’s view

8. To influence/alter someone else’s opinion/view

9. To begin a relationship

10. To strengthen a relationship

11. To humbly show we have knowledge on a specific topic

12. To stimulate creativity and idea generation

13. To gain a person’s attention

14. To solve a problem

15. To reach an agreement or to “agree to disagree” with clarity

THE NEW SKILLS THAT I HAVE LEARNED                                                   IS COOKING

# data[].attributes.body
Learning any new skill from coding to cooking can at first feel daunting. Starting with the basics and following one direction at a time can help to carve out a clear path forward. Nothing can replace the satisfaction of working hard to create something amazing. we take pride in mastering a new skill, whether it’s learning to cook our favorite meal or learning a new computer language.

Depending on who you ask, cooking is either an art, a science, or a perfect blend of both. No matter how you look at it, cooking is, essentially, the practice of transforming something into something else. So for the project, I decided to learn cooking and it turned out to be a good choice and this skill was quite helpful and at some point, I eventually had to learn cooking so why not now?

A kitchen is a place of change, of alchemy. Every cook is the Magician who uses heat and time to transform a jumble of ingredients into something else, something other, a fusion of flavors and textures removed from the original

I started to learn cooking by watching YouTube videos and starting with the easy making dishes that I can make at first I tried to make an omelet and it was a great success than I started with the sandwich, for starting point I think I did a good job and I thought to work on my cooking skills.  After that, I tried to learn about the ingredients because for cooking it is important to learn about the raw material that we will be using in the process. Then I started to make soups, here is some information on how I made soup with the help of the internet: Boiled veggies in stock or broth to make a simple soup. If you have a lot of stray vegetables in your fridge or pantry, you can easily turn them into a comforting and nutritious soup. Dice up the vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Sauté hard veggies, like carrots, potatoes, or cauliflower, in a frying pan with a little butter or olive oil to soften them a little and bring out their flavor. Then, bring some broth or stock to a boil, add the veggies, and turn down the heat. Let your soup simmer for about an hour or until the veggies are nice and tender

I also learned about seasoning and stuff while cooking Experiment with different seasonings to add flavor. The right seasonings can take even the simplest dish from okay to amazing. As you get more comfortable with basic cooking techniques, move beyond the basics of salt and black pepper and try a variety of other herbs, spices, aromatics, and other flavor-boosters. For example, you can.

· Use lemon, vinegar, or other acidic flavors to brighten up the taste of your dishes and give them a little zing.

·Add a hint of heat with chilies or crushed red pepper.

· Impart a savory flavor with soy, oyster, or Worcestershire sauce.

· Give your dishes an instant flavor boost with an aromatic, such as garlic or shallots.

· Liven up your food with distinctive-tasting herbs, like basil, oregano, mint, or rosemary.

· Have fun with contrasting flavors, like sweet and salty or hot and sour.

This should be the first cooking skill every person learns. They should literally teach it in kindergarten. Not only is beating an egg the basis and the starting point of so many recipes, but mastering the second part of the operation—actually cooking ensures that you're never more than five minutes away from your next meal. Especially if you can also operate a toaster.

It's true that if you can make scrambled eggs, you can also make an omelet. But more importantly, you should make an omelet. Why let that skill go to waste? An omelet means turning your homey dinner of scrambled eggs and toast into something special. Perhaps even worthy of serving with the fancy cloth napkins versus half a paper towel.

Who says cooking means getting things hot? Well yes, technically it does mean that. Still, even though making a green salad does not involve heating anything up, it absolutely does involve taking ingredients and doing something to them to turn them into a meal—even if that something is merely washing, peeling, slicing, chopping, and then tossing them together in some sort of dressing

Some people definitely need to know how to bake cakes, pies, pastries and breads. They're called bakers, and they work in bakeries, magical places where you can obtain all manner of sweet, glazed, buttery confectionery in exchange for money. You, on the other hand, do not need to know how to make such things. What you do need to know, though, is how to make cookies. Whether it's a batch of homemade chocolate chip cookies as an after-school snack or a tray of sugar cookies for the holiday office party, being able to bake cookies will make you popular with your children, friends and neighbours. The process of baking surrounds food with a low to medium dry heat for a set amount of time, usually in an oven. Things like breads and pastries are cooked from the outside in, creating a light crust around a soft, airy center. Quick breads like banana bread are easy to throw together and bake, but so is this low-and-slow take on short ribs. After starting to cook I learned many new things like A kitchen is a place of change, of alchemy. Every cook is the Magician who uses heat and time to transform a jumble of ingredients into something else, something other, a fusion of flavours and textures removed from the original.

It was truly an amazing experience for me I got to learn about many new things which I don’t think I would have started if it wasn’t for the project. It was quite fun activity.

The Learning Process: Attention and Memory. 

# data[].attributes.body
Memory is essential to all learning, because it lets you store and retrieve the information that you learn. Memory is basically nothing more than the record left by a learning process. Thus, memory depends on learning.
There are six interactive components of the learning process: attention, memory, language, processing and organizing, graphomotor (writing) and higher order thinking. These processes interact not only with each other, but also with emotions, classroom climate, behavior, social skills, teachers and family.

ATTENTION
Paying attention is the first step in learning anything. Easy to pay attention - Interesting or exciting to us. Difficult for most of us to pay attention to things that are not interesting and exciting to us . When something is not interesting to us, it is easier to become distracted, to move to a more stimulating topic or activity, or to tune out.

MEMORY
Short term Memory , having limited number of slots, just like computer RAM. It can store or process data for some time but when you shut down even once all the data will be lost. Exactly same thing happen with brain if you don’t store the data in long term memory, your data will be lost eventually

Long Term Memory
LTM is the hard drive of the brain. To store the information permanently. So that whenever the information is needed. It can be accessed by the RAM of the brain and processed. But the only difference is computer hard drive and our long term memory is that we cannot easily store data onto it we have to work a little hard to accomplish this task. Most effective way to accomplish this is the method of Repetition. Apply focused mode- keep recalling and repeating it

MY FAVORITE BOOK THAT IMPACTED MY LEARNING (RICH DAD, POOR DAD)

# data[].attributes.subject
MY FAVORITE BOOK THAT IMPACTED MY LEARNING (RICH DAD, POOR DAD)

# data[].attributes.body
ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Robert Toru Kiyosaki (born April 8, 1947) is an American businessman and author. Robert Kiyosaki is truly a multi-talented personality. He is an entrepreneur, investor, motivational speaker, author, and also financial knowledge activist. He is very popular for his series of books called ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’.

Lechter graduated from Florida State University with an Accounting degree in 1979, then worked briefly for a small accounting firm, "Big Eight". She met her husband, Michael Lechter, in 1980. Subsequently, the Lechter met Robert Kiyosaki and, together, formed the Rich Dad companies.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Rich Dad Poor Dad is about Robert Kiyosaki and his two dads—his real father (poor dad) and the father of his best friend (rich dad)—and how both men shaped his thoughts about money and investing. ... The central message conveyed by Kiyosaki is that you don't need to earn a high income to be rich.
The author, Robert Kiyosaki narrates the money lessons he learned over the years from two fathers. He outlines the stark difference between the two father’s ideology of money.

Poor dad (biological father), the educated one made money mistakes and was stuck in a “rat race”. He believed in “Love of money is the root of all evil”.

On the other hand, rich dad (friend’s father) taught him to move ahead with a bold mindset and believed in “Lack of money is the root of all evil”.

It is a simple story with examples to understand cashflows, building assets, and learning from failures. A thought-provoking book that makes you ask yourself a few important questions,

WHAT DO I LEARN FROM THIS BOOK
One of the most empowering lessons rich dad taught in this section of Rich Dad Poor Dad was to “keep using your brain, work for free, soon your mind will show you ways of making money far beyond what I could ever pay you. You will see things that other people never see.

It's not how much money you make that matters — it's how much money you keep
Take Risks and Become Smart With Experience
According to Kiyosaki, this is the most important instruction that will help a person to build a strong foundation.

Robert says, “Intelligence solves problems and produces money. Money without financial intelligence is money soon gone.”

Our education system teaches us to work for money, but keeps us ignorant of how to make, keep, and manage money. We should learn how to create wealth, that is learning about advocacy for financial independence.

Financial freedom takes you towards financial independence.

Therefore, to ensure financial freedom, be mindful of the inflation factor and have the right investment/asset mix suitable to accomplish your financial goals.

The Learning Process: Language and thought

# data[].attributes.body
The Encyclopedia Britannica Vol. 13 defines Language as: “A system of conventional spoken or written symbols by means of which human beings, as members of a social group and participants in its culture, communicate.
The main use of language is to transfer thoughts from one mind, to another mind. The bits of linguistic information that enter into one person's mind, from another, cause people to entertain a new thought with profound effects on his world knowledge, inferencing, and subsequent behavior.
Language does not completely determine our thoughts—our thoughts are far too flexible for that—but habitual uses of language can influence our habit of thought and action. For instance, some linguistic practice seems to be associated even with cultural values and social institution.

# data[].attributes.body
How does language shapes the way we think?

The language we speak influences many different things. It can impact the way that we think about time, space, and even colors! .People who speak different languages focus on different things, depending on the words or sentence structure available to them. It influences our thought process and our feelings.
Languages are living things, meaning that their vocabulary can change over time. In addition to that, various communities and social groups might actually speak differently, due to various sub-slangs and other linguistic circles. For instance, young people might express themselves differently when compared to a much older generation. The culture and environment around us also directly impact our language. It’s a fascinating field of study, which is still in its early stages.

Interactive Components of Learning Process

Bloom's Taxonomy is a framework that starts with these two levels of thinking as important bases for pushing our brains to five other higher-order levels of thinking—helping us move beyond remembering and recalling information and move deeper into the application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation, and creation.

Level 1: Remember

This level helps us recall foundational or factual information: names, dates, formulas, definitions, components, or methods

Level 2: Understand

Understanding means that we can explain main ideas and concepts and make meaning by interpreting, classifying, summarizing, inferring, comparing, and explaining

Level 3: Apply

The application allows us to recognize or use concepts in real-world situations and to address when, where, or how to employ methods and ideas.

Level 4: Analyze

Analysis means breaking a topic or idea into components or examining a subject from different perspectives. It helps us see how the “whole” is created from the “parts.” It’s easy to miss the big picture by getting stuck at a lower level of thinking and simply remembering individual facts without seeing how they are connected. Analysis helps reveal the connections between facts.

Level 5: Synthesize

Synthesizing means considering individual elements together for the purpose of drawing conclusions, identifying themes, or determining common elements. Here you want to shift from “parts” to “whole.

Level 6: Evaluate

Evaluating means making judgments about something based on criteria and standards. This requires checking and critiquing an argument or concept to form an opinion about its value. Often there is not a clear or correct answer to this type of question. Rather, it’s about making a judgment and supporting it with reasons and evidence

Level 7: Create

Creating involves putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole. Creating includes reorganizing elements into a new pattern or structure through planning. This is the highest and most advanced level of Bloom’s Taxonomy.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought it was a good representation of taxonomies applied to a different situation. How can we as educators make learning taxonomies more relevant to today’s learners? Are they still relevant? The questions that could be asked are endless and as students learning becomes less linear students need to be able to achieve higher order thinking at any given time.
I feel this blog post left me with more questions than answers as I delved down the rabbit hole to try and form so understanding of how learning taxonomoies can be applied into a changing classroom dynamic. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how they can fit as a missing puzzle piece.

Bloom’s Taxonomy: Structuring The Learning Journey

# data[].attributes.body
Bloom’s Taxonomy is a hierarchy of learning objectives. It’s original purpose was to give educators a common language to talk about curriculum design and assessment. Today, it’s used by teachers all around the world.
Bloom’s Taxonomy consists of three domains that reflect the types of learning we all do. Each domain has different levels of learning, ordered from the simplest to the most complex and associated with relevant action verbs.

So let’s look at the levels and action verbs in a little more detail.

1. Remembering: recall facts and basic concepts
Define, identify, describe, recognise, tell, explain, recite, memorise, illustrate, state, match, select, examine, locate, recite, enumerate, record, list, quote, label

2. Understanding: explain ideas and concepts
Summarise, interpret, classify, compare, contrast, infer, relate, extract, discuss, distinguish, predict, indicate, inquire, associate, explore, convert

3. Applying: use information in new situations
Solve, change, relate, complete, use, sketch, teach, articulate, discover, transfer, show, demonstrate, involve, produce, report, act, respond, prepare, manipulate

4. Analysing: make connections between ideas
Contrast, connect, relate, devise, correlate, illustrate, conclude, categorise, take apart, problem-solve, deduce, conclude, devise, subdivide, calculate, order, adapt

5. Evaluating: justify a decision
Criticise, reframe, judge, defend, appraise, value, prioritise, plan, reframe, revise, refine, argue, support, evolve, decide, re-design

6. Creating: produce new or original work
Design, modify, role-play, develop, rewrite, pivot, modify, collaborate, invent, write, formulate, imagine

A mind map involves writing down a central theme and thinking of new and related ideas which radiate out from the center.

Why mind-mapping is required?
It is an ideal strategy to use for your ‘thinking’.
Mind mapping can be used for generating, visualizing, organizing, note-taking, problem-solving, decision-making, revising, and clarifying a topic, so that you can get started with assessment tasks.
Essentially, a mind map is used to ‘brainstorm’ a topic and is a great strategy for students.

Why use mind-map?
To take notes in a lecture and listen for the most important points or keywords.
To show links and relationships between the main ideas in your subject.
To brainstorm all the things you already know about a subjective question.
To plan the early stages of a topic by visualizing all the aspects of the question.
To organize your ideas and information by making it accessible on a single page.
To stimulate creative thinking and creative solutions to problems.
To review learning in preparation for a test or examination.

Enter the Main Topic. Start by entering the main subject in the center of the mind map, for instance “Capitals of the world”.

Brainstorm Topics. Create main branches to enter your topics such as “London”, “Paris”, “New York” and “Beijing”. Do not worry about the order of the topics.

Create Sub-Topics. Elaborate on your topics by creating sub-topics. Make sure to use very short phrases or even single words.

Rearrange the Topics. If you need to rearrange the topics in your mind map, most software tools allow you to drag-and-drop branches. This will enable you to structure the topics that you brainstormed.

Add Images and Formatting. According to the mind mapping theory, images and colors improve memory retention. You can use different colors and fonts and place images on branches.

Notes and Research. Take notes to your topics and attached research files - if your mind mapping software allows you to.

Learning Tools – Experiential Learning and Memorising

# data[].attributes.body
Experiential learning is the application of theory and academic content to real-world experiences, either within the classroom, the community, or the workplace, which advances program or course-based learning outcomes that are specifically focused on employability skills. It may be undertaken independently or in teams.

# data[].attributes.body
Experiential learning focuses on learners reflecting on their experience of doing something, so as to gain conceptual insight as well as practical expertise. Kolb’s experiential learning model suggest four stages in this process:

active experimentation;

concrete experience;

reflective observation;

abstract conceptualization.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many ways that experiential learning is used every day. Some examples include:

Going to the zoo to learn about animals through observation, instead of reading about them.

Growing a garden to learn about photosynthesis instead of watching a movie about it.

Hoping on a bicycle to try and learn to ride, instead of listening to your parent explain the concept

In my case My experimental learning was learning how to cook

Chunking: Learning Technique for Better Memory

# data[].attributes.body
Chunking refers to the process of taking individual pieces of information and grouping them into larger units. By grouping each data point into a larger whole, you can improve the amount of information you can remember. Probably the most common example of chunking occurs in phone numbers. For example, a phone number sequence of 4-7-1-1-3-2-4 would be chunked into 471-1324.

Why Chunking Works

By separating disparate individual elements into larger blocks, information becomes easier to retain and recall. This is due mainly to how limited our short-term memory can be.

How to Use Chunking

The next time you are trying to remember items from a list, start by forming them into groups. If you are working with a list of vocabulary words, for example, you might create small groups of words that are similar or related to one another. A shopping list might be broken down into smaller grouping based on whether the items on the list are vegetables, fruits, dairy, or grains.

Chunking can be used as an everyday memory enhancer, but researchers have also found that you can improve your ability to effectively chunk information.

Collaborative learning is an educational approach to teaching and learning that involves groups of students working together to solve a problem, complete a task, or create a product. According to Gerlach, "Collaborative learning is based on the idea that learning is a naturally social act in which the participants talk among themselves (Gerlach, 1994). It is through the talk that learning occurs."

Benefits of collaborative learning

In this Ted talk Maddie Edward talks about Collaborative Learning. In the workplace, collaborative learning can help teams arrive at solutions faster by dividing and delegating tasks and involving multiple viewpoints. Participating in a collaborative approach can help each employee understand their strengths and learn new skills by observing others.

How to use collaborative learning in the workplace

Implementing collaboration in the workplace can set standards for how to conduct workplace discussions. While a manager or supervisor can lead such discussions initially, if a group of employees practices this collaborative approach enough, they can meet whenever they feel the need to. Here is a sample structure of how a collaborative problem-solving discussion can take place:

1. Form a group.

2. Create tasks.

3. Identify goals.

4. Discuss the criteria.

5. Present solutions.

6. Discuss solutions.

7. Plan the next collaboration session.

We will be able to absorb things more easily.

We have the ability to express ourselves more creatively.

We have the opportunity to think about what they've learned.

Mistakes made by us provide wonderful learning opportunities.

The trick to learning more and having more success is finding the right way to frame the learning process.
As you’ll discover in the Ted Talk shared here, there has been some research about how we learn. According to an experiment outlined in this video, participants learned more when they were not penalized and felt they had plenty of time to focus on the goal at hand in order to achieve success. In Fortnite, how many times did the ‘storm’ get you before you figured out how much time you actually needed to reach safety? By focusing on the goal of ‘winning,’ you were able to learn from your earlier mistakes. Moreover, you probably didn’t worry about those past mistakes because you were focused on winning.

Overpopulation is an undesirable condition where the number of the existing human population exceeds the actual carrying capacity of Earth. Overpopulation is caused by a number of factors. Reduced mortality rate, better medical facilities, depletion of precious resources are few of the causes which result in overpopulation. It is possible for a sparsely populated area to become densely populated if it is not able to sustain life.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Depletion of Natural Resources
The effects of overpopulation are quite severe. The first of these is the depletion of resources. The Earth can only produce a limited amount of water and food, which is falling short of the current needs.

2. Degradation of Environment
With the overuse of coal, oil, and natural gas, it has started producing some serious effects on our environment. Besides, the exponential rise in the number of vehicles and industries has badly affected the quality of air.
The rise in the amount of CO2 emissions leads to global warming. Melting of polar ice caps, changing climate patterns, rise in sea levels are a few of the consequences that we might have to face due to environmental pollution

3. Rise in Unemployment
When a country becomes overpopulated, it gives rise to unemployment as there are fewer jobs to support a large number of people. The rise in unemployment gives rise to crime, such as theft, as people want to feed their families and provide them basic amenities of life.

4. High Cost of Living
As the difference between demand and supply continues to expand due to overpopulation, it raises the prices of various essential commodities, including food, shelter, and healthcare. This means that people have to pay more to survive and feed their families.

5. Water Shortage

Roughly 1% of the world’s water is fresh and accessible. Overpopulation is a major issue that creates immense pressure on the world’s freshwater supplies.
As per the study, the human demand for freshwater would stand at approximately 70% of freshwater available on the planet by 2025. Therefore, people living in impoverished areas that already have limited access to such water will be at great risk.

1. The Decline in the Death Rate
At the root of overpopulation is the difference between the overall birth rate and death rate in populations. If the number of children born each year equals the number of adults that die, then the population will stabilize.
Talking about overpopulation shows that while there are many factors that can increase the death rate for short periods of time, the ones that increase the birth rate do so over a long period of time.
The discovery of agriculture by our ancestors was one factor that provided them with the ability to sustain their nutrition without hunting. This created the first imbalance between the two rates.

2. Agricultural Advancements
Technological revolutions and population explosions occur at the same time. There have been three major technological revolutions. They are the tool-making revolution, the agricultural revolution, and the industrial revolution.
Agricultural advancements in the 20th century have allowed humans to increase food production using fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides and yields further. This allowed humans with more access to food that leads to subsequent population explosions.

3. More Hands to Overcome Poverty
However, when talking about overpopulation, we should understand that there is a psychological component as well. Poverty is considered as the leading cause of overpopulation. In the absence of educational resources, coupled with high death rates, which resulted in higher birth rates, that is why impoverished areas are seeing large booms in population.
For thousands of years, a very small part of the population had enough money to live in comfort. The rest faced poverty and would give birth to large families to make up for the high infant mortality rate.

4. Child Labor
It is no less than a tragedy that child labor is still in practice extensively in many parts of the world. As per the UNICEF, approximately 150 million children are currently working in countries having few child labor laws. The children being seen as a source of income by impoverished families begin work too young and also lose the educational opportunities reflected, particularly when it comes to birth control.

5. Immigration
Many people prefer to move to developed countries like the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, where the best facilities are available in terms of medical, education, security, and employment. The result is that those people settle over there, eventually making those places overcrowded.
