❓ Did you ever feel strong negative emotions in front of a math problem? Do you love math but feel like you are struggling in certain contexts?
📢 This article is for you! We have the privilege of discussing math anxiety with @GashajVenera.

In a @TheDiverter article, I wrote about the 7 most common mistakes when evaluating learning, and why it matters for #edtech.

❓ There you are, logging into your favorite language learning app, earning your 200 experience points a day, sometimes even successfully ordering a pizza in Italy. But are you really learning anything?

Or should we teach with more abstract representations so students focus on the core of the problem, without any superficial details, and are able to re-apply what they learnt in a wide variety of contexts?

"Transfer of learning occurs when learning in one context enhances (positive transfer) or undermines (negative transfer) a related performance in another context."
Transfer of learning, Perkins & Salomon

[the diverter_ @TheDiverter]

Should we learn in a context as close as possible to the real world, so the distance between learning and applying is as small as possible?

Hi everybody! @majamalmcrona and I sat down again, and talked about how to tell a consistent story of an inconsistent journey, the importance of play and failure and the sadness of failing to play, and, as Maja would say: “how to drill a great hole”.

Thank you again, Hanna!

[Dr. Hanna Poikonen @WiseMotionCo]

We had a versatile and inspiring conversation with a talented doctoral student from our lab at
@ETH_en and @TheDiverter
, Julia Chatain, on neuroscience, creativity and embodiment. In the blog text, you can also enjoy her insightful illustrations!

[the diverter_ @TheDiverter]

Did you take a look at the conversation with @WiseMotionCo yet?
Did you experience similar shift in perception?

@MeEmmsie @WiseMotionCo I’m glad you liked it!
And I would love to have a little chat with you one day, about mind and body in Yoga :)

[the diverter_ @TheDiverter]

Something new!

In an attempt at making the blog more accessible, I added better alt-texts for the images. I will soon go back to improve the old articles as well.
In the meantime, thanks to all the people who took the time to teach me how to do this properly 🙏

Have you ever found yourself explaining something, and, after a few examples and a couple of metaphors, concluding by "Well, you get the idea?"
To learn about abstraction, take a look at our last article:
