    Learning and Performance with Amarbeer Singh Gill : Part Three

    "Lowering or impairing that short-term performance will actually lead to better learning." "Struggle to start the lesson. We repeat it at the end." "There's nothing wrong with reusing those same questions." In this episode, Singh shares three guiding principles for focusing on learning rather than performance in the classroom. The first principle is understanding that there will always be a difference between what is taught and what is learned. The second principle is that learning is invisible, and measuring short-term performance helps lay the foundations for long-term learning. The third principle is that intentionally impairing short-term performance can lead to better learning. Singh also discusses techniques such as retrieval practice and distributed practice that can support student learning. Takeaways There is a difference between what is taught and what is learned, so teachers should not assume that just because they have taught something, students have learned it. Measuring short-term performance can help lay the foundations for long-term learning. Intentionally impairing short-term performance can lead to better learning outcomes. Techniques such as retrieval practice and distributed practice can support student learning. Keywords learning, performance, classroom, teaching, principles, retrieval practice, distributed practice

    Learning and Performance with Amarbeer Singh Gill - Part One

    "Why are we bad at learning stuff?" "We can't see learning. Like I can't open up your head and see whether you've learned fractions or like how to shoot a basketball properly or know how a particular art technique." "When does something become truly learned? Can you hold onto a piece of information for eternity without using it on a regular basis?" In this episode, Singh discusses the difference between learning and performance. He shares his experiences as a teacher and explains how students can struggle to retain information even after successfully performing a task. Singh emphasizes the importance of revisiting information over time to ensure long-term learning. The conversation also touches on the challenges of assessing learning versus performance and the idea of when something can be considered truly learned. The hosts and Singh discuss the implications of these concepts for teachers and the need to prioritize learning over simply teaching to perform.
