*Original Question “You have challenged all the
Stellar Academics and Industry veterans by
saying that in the Knowledge Age the only Core
Competency is – Learning Unlearning &
ReLearning… But so far you haven‟t shared
what‟s the best way to do that.”
*The Correct Question - “My Bad!!! Let me fix it
rightaway!!!”
6. *
* Lets say you desire to learn a really really tough subject like
* Deep Learning, or
* Quantum Computer Programming etc…
* Its natural for anyone to be Overwhelmed
* Both Teachers and Students alike…
* I have heard a lot of debate around the need for educational reform,
shifting the focus to learning etc.
* But even the top most Universities don‟t put too much effort into The
Science of Learning itself…
* We want to make both teaching and learning effective. And interesting.
* We want to make students to learn to „do‟ not learn to „pass exams‟. i.e.
Creativity
* And believe it or not it‟s a Knowledge Era out there and its all about the
mind and its capabilities… believe it or not the Industrial Era is over…
* Trust me or not we all want to work with geniuses and create geniuses…
7. *
* Terms
* Notations
* Concepts
* Derive the Concepts
* History
* Innovations
* Breakthrough‟s
* Fcukups
* And then only then get into „The Subject‟ itself
* Cover The Future of the Subject
* Practitioner‟s Path Beyond This…
* Implementation of the Concepts
* Tools of the Trade
* Solutions built with them
8. *
*Terms – Every Subject has specific terminology
specific to its domain. If a student doesn‟t
understand one term he will skip understanding the
rest of the subject and never be able to catchup.
Hence this is the first starting point of any
teaching/learning effort.
*Notation – Every subject has a language aka
Notation which you need to learn to understand the
experts who speak that subject and to converse… Its
like learning a new language like Mandarin or
Hangul
*Concepts – Cover all the major concepts
subjectively, in layman‟s language
9. *
* History – Every subject has a History behind its
evolution, which is needed to be known to truly understand
the subject
* Innovations – You have to then cover all the major
innovations so far the subject had offered to the world
* Breakthroughs – Explain the impact of the subject, things
that were previously never could have been possible without
this subject
* Fcukups – and a list of major Fcukups people made by using
or misusing the subject
* And then and only then its time to get into The Subject itself
* Practitioners need to know the Implementation, Tools and
Existing Solutions to turn the subject into practice.
10. *
* Teaching and Learning is very very difficult
* I work in a job which requires me to learn new things every day from
Quantum Science to Machine Learning breakthroughs you name it…
* And trust me when I say Learning is very very difficult in the current
world
* Believe me or not, if you try the sequence mentioned on slide #7 to
teach and to learn
* You will produce Geniuses, who will end up making a real difference
to the world.
* Combined with Ref: Educational Reform – Stop Certifying for a
Purpose, it would make teaching and learning interesting, real world
results oriented, make students self reliant practitioners, trigger
their imagination, creativity and support their purpose.
