Sometimes it’s easy to focus, to listen, to learn. Sometimes it’s hard and sometimes it just seems plain impossible. No matter how good you think your learning design or your content are, if you haven’t considered how to put people in the right state to learn at the start, and how to keep them there, your efforts will have been wasted. Curious, reflective, energised, attentive, puzzled, engaged, questioning, social, nervous, bored, relaxed, confident, confused, creative, challenged and challenging – these are some of the emotional and physical states people experience as they learn. Stella Collins presented this session at Aurion Connections in Belfast on 14 September. Uncover some of the psychology and neuroscience that underpins our motivation to learn and find out how you can influence what happens in the brain to aid learning. Adapt your design and delivery to shift people from unhelpful to resourceful learning states and apply the latest research to practical challenges such as: • How do you promote creative thinking? • How can you use the graveyard slot to enhance learning naturally? • How do you provoke curiosity and encourage exploration? • What promotes long term memory – and what interferes? • Top tips to change people’s mind sets naturally

- Mind shift: moving people to a positive learning state Stella Collins Curious, reflective, energised, attentive, puzzled, engaged, questioning, social, nervous, bored, relaxed, confident, confused, creative, challenged and challenging – these are some of the emotional and physical states people experience as they learn. In this interactive session with Stella Collins, discover how they might all be valuable to the long term retention and application of learning. Uncover some of the science that underpins our motivation to learn and find out how you can influence what happens in the brain to aid learning. Adapt your design and delivery to shift people from unhelpful to resourceful learning states and apply the latest research to practical challenges such as: · How do you promote creative thinking? · How can you use the graveyard slot to enhance learning? · How do you provoke curiosity and encourage exploration? · What hormones promote long term memory – and which ones interfere? · Top tips to change people’s mind sets naturally
- Why do different states matter to learning - surely you can just be in one mood whilst learning There are various stages to learning and here are elements of a simplified learning process – you may be able to think of more In each one a different state might be more or less helpful to that stages of the learning process
- These states are likely to be connections between your mind, your body, your emotions - so let’s explore which ones you think are going to be helpful for learning
- Boredom, fed up, distracted, stressed Boredom can lead to creative thinking- and action if you can kick start yourself People prefer pain to boredom - so may seek out learning http://science.sciencemag.org/content/345/6192/75 Stress can impact negatively on learning – long term cortisol levels damage retention and recall - Interferes with sleep
- Curiosity – stimulates dopamine – just before curiosity satisfied Motivates you to find out more – also addictive Guessing improves learning
- Sleep – no good for new learning (input) but vital for laying down memories and long term memory retention Dreaming may be useful for rehearsing motor learning Need serotonin for good sleep patterns
- Alertness – tenseness – challenge – useful for paying attention to taking in new stuff – tagged with a shot of short term adrenaline for longer term retention Noradrenaline - vigilance
- Reflection – time to plan / contemplate / consolidate Relaxed state – possibly serotonin Reflective Visualisation – alpha waves
- Got it – fun – pleasure – physical activity Dopamine and endorphins both associated with pleasure and motivated activity – addictive –you’ll want to repeat it – useful for learning. Endorphins create longer term calm – may be useful for later reflection/ reduce pain Glutamate linking and binding neurons
- Fear – adrenaline – fight / flight/ flock and cortisol for dealing with situation Adrenaline may be useful for tagging memories/ events for long term retention – but not useful for any of the reflective elements of learning Cortisol – maybe related to strong ‘flash’ memories – PTSD etc but damages long term retention and recall – especially if too much and interferes with sleep patterns
- Are there others you can think of? Argumentative Closed/ hidden Not engaged
- All sorts of stuff but some significant players are neurotransmitters Neurotransmitters – a group of chemicals that pass information/ messages in your brain Wide variety – explore some to give you an idea of what’s happening in different states
- What’s a neurotransmitter? Chemical that passes messages in the brains – discovered about 100 so far but scientists think many more to be discovered Some generated by neurons and some other glands and have an effect on brain eg adrenaline – renal gland
- Let’s think about some states that are useful for learning – and what might be happening What does curiosity look like – act curious – head on side – put postit on it’s side to simulate curiosity – easy technology trick When we are about to have our curiosity piqued we can get a release of dopamine It’s rewarding so we do it again – great driver for learning More engaging than being told and quite addictive
- We often want people to be creative and make links when learning but what state do we need to be in to be creative? Group exercise – 5 top hits for creativity – share with other groups – what helps you be creative Alpha brainwaves – unfocused, relaxed, open Also serotonin and dopamine – both open/ optimistic and energised/ motivated Chocolate contains tryptophan –a precursor of serotonin Some research to show oxytocin increases empathy/ social bonding and possibly divergent thinking – but short lasting – and also envy or gloating What can you do technology wise – social bonding – social learning
- It’s famous – and doesn’t matter if people are face to face or learning through technology – those periods when you just can’t focus/ pay keen attention Reflect or re-energise? Hands up? Reflect : GABA - Reduce adrenaline, cortisol –alpha waves dominate – yoga seems to promote GABA (gamma amino butyric acid) Or re-energise – noradrenaline for vigilance, endorphins - euphoria - beta waves dominate - Acetyl – choline – important for attenttion Technology – could build in reflective ‘gorming’ moments – music, slide reviews etc Caffeine – 20 mins visualisation – ready to go Time to stop challenging – accept the learning/ useful for attitude shifts 3 minute mindfulness check
- Most Abundant neurotransmitter – promotes linking – precursor for GABA – almost all excitatory neurons use GABA How can you promote links in your tech based learning – make opportunities for learners to create own links - don’t want too much – just enough -
- Sleeping and dreaming Technology – spaced Cortisol – not so good for long term learning – time to sleep and reflect in between sessions – reduce stress Serotonin helps you to sleep
