WEEK-1 SESSION-1

anuragkjps — 2021-11-11 15:05:32 UTC

LIFE-CHANGING MOMENT:
ok, this story is of me when I was in class 6th 0r maybe 7th, I was a pretty lax kind of kid, the one who would never be on time, never do things on time, and always be late. This one time I went out to play and I remember my mother saying to come back home at 7 p.m. sharp...yeah... I came back at 9:30 pm... I press the doorbell.. no one answers... I wait. I press it again... Still no answer..I got anxious, they aren't opening the door and they are still inside as the light was on. by the time it was 11 p.m. my father opened the door, he asked only one thing " did you understand your lesson?" and I sure did .. that incident has left a huge mark on who am I as a person to this day. Now I do my things on time and value the essence of time

WEEK-1 SESSION-2

anuragkjps — 2021-11-11 15:06:18 UTC

I generally relate to the character of Ron Swanson of parks and recreations, he is a modern Renaissance man, he spent much of his workday on Parks and Recreation trying to minimize the oppressive footprint of local government by applying his libertarian leanings, but he also had a wide range of personal passions. Among other things, he was a master craftsman and outdoorsman, an accomplished musician and an unapologetic gourmand, and an innovator. What I like about him is his ideals, as a character, he knows how to hold own to his thoughts and ideas and doesn’t get steamed rolled by other people’s opinions, something I admire, he has a strong work ethic and values the importance of time, something I am still striving to achieve.

WEEK-2(LEARNING HOW TO UNLEARN)

anuragkjps — 2021-11-11 17:47:11 UTC

Learning how to unlearn, this planet hosts a wide spectrum of creatures, both big and small, and among them, only one species homo sapiens has crawled its way to the top despite not being the fastest, strongest, or even the deadlier but due to our ability to adapt and learn from our past experiences. But as have made our living conditions more suitable and adaptive to the new lifestyle we ourselves haven’t evolved to the extend, allow me to explain with an example…. Earlier we use to eat on utensils made up of mud, clay, or plant-based product such as a leaf, we use to eat and throw the utensil and as it was biodegradable, it didn’t cause any problem to the environment… cut to nowadays we use non-biodegradable materials but our habits to throwing stuff anywhere still haven’t evolved to keep up with the technological advancement and hence due to this we have a lot of pollution on an individual level. The ability to adapt our learning is crucial for the survival of the species as a whole, we must continue to evolve and don’t get stagnant. As bear grill’s famous meme says “ adapt.overcome.improvise”, truly words to live by (;

DISCUSSION WEEK-1

WEEK-5(Expanding the Inquiry through Critical Thinking: Using Evidence, Evaluation, and findings)

anuragkjps — 2021-11-19 18:13:14 UTC

Decisive reasoning is considered as the capacity to ponder what to do and what to accept. It incorporates the capacity to take part in intelligent and free reasoning and understanding the sensible association between thoughts.

WEEK-4 (SOCIAL DILEMMA)

anuragkjps — 2021-11-19 18:21:08 UTC

“Fake news spreads 6x times faster than the truth” for someone who is glued to social media 24/7 this documentary you question your life, choices, and opinions. It's a real eye opener. This is just a whole another reason and probably the only reason why we should, with immediate effect get off our devices and move out into the real world, form real opinions, make non biased decisions. I've always been quite freaked out about losing the ability to incorporate opinion, become less tolerant and understanding towards all sides of a conversation. And now when they tell us that they tip scales of the general method of opinion formation to give birth a far more chaotic world that leads us to stand divided without us even having the slightest idea of what we were actually put through to get there.

WEEK-2 SESSION-1

anuragkjps — 2021-12-19 06:22:57 UTC

If you find yourself, as you're focusing on something trying to learn a new concept or solve a problem, and you get stuck, you want to turn your attention away from that problem and allow the diffuse modes. Those resting states, to do their work in the background.*Procrastination => Pomodoro method*

➤ 25min of work (with mindset *I'm going to work with focus attention for 25 minutes*) - 5min of some fun

➤ Relaxation is also an important part of the learning process

➤ Exercise within a matter of a few days can increase our ability to both learn and to remember.

➤ Test. Tests are the best. Test yourself all the time. Give yourself little mini-tests.

➤ Recall. The most effective technique is simply to look at a page, look away and see what you can recall. Doing this, as it seems, helps build profound neural hooks that help enhance your understanding of the material. The understanding alone is enough to build mastery of the material

➤ Practice and repetition in a variety of circumstances can you truly gain mastery over what you're learning.

WEEK-2 SESSION-2

anuragkjps — 2021-12-19 06:23:33 UTC

➤Knowledge is no longer the power, finding and sharing knowledge is power nowadays.

➤In today's era, it doesn't matter how efficient you are, rather how flexible and adaptable you are matters!

➤Unlearning smart leadership and a learning-wise leadership model are important.

WEEK-2 SESSION-3

anuragkjps — 2021-12-19 06:24:52 UTC

PROCRASTINATION is delaying something. there are two types of procrastination long term and short.

1. SHORT TERM PROCRASTISM - for short time-limited activities not that harmful because of all thanks to the panic monster within our mind.

2. LONG TERM PROCRASTISM - very harmful because these activities are not time bounded so we keep delaying them until they affect us and our life.

Learning is an exceptionally intriguing thing and a fundamental piece of day-to-day existence. we can think about it as our superpower, so when you have a superpower now the inquiry rises how to further develop it and update it to a higher level for that we as a whole utilize the diverse procedures. We as a whole have various ways of recalling things and learning them isn't that right? each one uses his own strategy like me I recall things I when understood them and comprehend them with models also certain individuals have a propensity for perusing so anyone might hear, some have composing, a few make notes and some utilization creative mind and so forth Presently the inquiry is the manner by which do it successfully what I mean is the way increment your learning efficiency, to build usefulness we need to expand our concentration. Center assumes a vital part in learning in the event that you can concentrate for a longer timeframe then obviously you can learn more than others. So in the event that you can build your center means you can expand your learning capacity or your superpower.

WEEK-6(INQIRY BASED LEARNING)

anuragkjps — 2021-12-19 06:56:20 UTC

Inquiry-based learning is more than asking an understudy what the individual in question needs to know. It's tied in with setting off interest. What's more, initiating an understudy's interest is, I would contend, a definitely more significant and complex objective than simple data conveyance. inquiry Based Learning places the obligation regarding learning on the understudies and urges them to show up at a comprehension of ideas without anyone else.
♦ Elements of inquiry:
1. Question
2. Investigate
3. Use Evidence
4. Evaluate
5. Response

It gives students an inquiry and method that prompts a known outcome. Students follow the headings.

➤STRUCTURED INQUIRY
It gives students an inquiry and diagrams methods that lead to an obscure outcome. Students explore and answer the inquiry. Considering that the outcome isn't known, the understudy needs to define clarifications and to demonstrate/discredit them, examine the gathered information.

➤GUIDED INQUIRY
The educator offers students an inquiry with an obscure response. The student's plan methodology, explore, and answer the inquiry. So while the inquiry is as yet given by your educator, the systems to show up at any kind of answer is up to the understudy. The understudies, along these lines, are in charge of their own exploration approach, taking into consideration monstrous opportunities to seek after investigating strategies most appropriate to their abilities and inclinations.

➤OPEN INQUIRY
Students plan their own question(s) and strategies. They should explore and address the inquiry. In this mode, understudies further define their own inquiries just as impart their own outcomes.

: Attention
It is the initial phase in getting the hang of anything. We focus harder on things that interest us or are invigorating for us do, we get quickly flustered when we're not doing or getting the hang of something that doesn't interest us.

: Memory
A complex process that uses three systems to help us receive, use, store, and retrieve information. It has the following three sections:
➤Short-term memory: it stores information only for a few seconds or minutes and then the information is lost, e.g. remembering an OTP just to verify it and forget it afterward.

➤Working memory: it stores the information that we need for our daily use, e.g. to brush our teeth before going to bed.

➤Long-term memory: it stores the information that we'll need in the near future or for our whole lives. It requires the method of repetition, e.g. complicated passwords of different profiles.

: Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
Skills required to enhance our cognitive skills and learning process with the use of tasks involving critical thinking.

These include analyzing, evaluating, and creating.

: Cognitive Skills
Skills required by our brain to do carry out our daily processes in our day-to-day life.

➤Attention – kind of how much focused you're.

➤Memory – how fast we recover past information.
➤Reason – meaning in anything.

➤Auditory/visual processing – coordinating audio and the video to make a meaningful scenario.

➤There are different types of languages around the globe, even a single country can have multiple languages spoken around various parts of the nation.
➤Different languages also give rise to a language barrier in communication which many a time hinders communication and can also lead to wrong interpretation of thoughts and causes misunderstandings.
➤It is quite a challenge to overcome this, as it'll be really hard to communicate if we're unable to understand the speaker's thoughts.
➤Nowadays there are many software and apps that can even translate languages into the ones we understand.

Five functions of language

We learned about the different functions of language:

➤The Informational Function
It is one of the most important functions, this one delivers messages and describes events that are mainly new to the listener.

➤The Expressive Function
This one helps to express our emotions to the listener.

➤The Directive Function
This one is a bit similar to expressive function as this one helps to command or request some action or reaction to or from the listener.

➤The Aesthetic Function
This one doesn't give messages or commands but is instead used in literature and poetry.

➤The Phatic Function
This one helps to establish a social relationship and also helps to maintain a conversation.

Mind-Map

It is an effective way of taking notes and brainstorming over it. It has a central theme and subtopics around it.

Why should we use a mind-map?

It uses the concept of 'thinking'. It enhances new understandings as mostly only us can understand the mind-map drawn by us.

It is the best tool to enhance brainstorming.

Steps to make a mind-map

Take a central topic and then break it into different sections.

Use different colors for each section as it makes it easy to differentiate between them. Don't make it too artistic as in the end, you want to focus on the topic and content, not the art. Try to leave some space between the sections to make it look neat and clean.

Only write enough so that you can understand it.
