You are becoming an expert on learning and memory. Beyond this research work that you like to do, you are really improving your memory capacity. This work is therefore very useful to you. Logically, now that you have mastered the basic notions of learning, you would like to understand even better how the mechanics work. And you would also like to find tips and tricks.,
Why learn?
Philippe Meirieu is a well known French university professor in educational sciences from Lyon. He is a speaker at numerous conferences and seminars on the subject of education and the different ways of teaching and learning in the broadest sense. It is a pleasure to hear and read it. We need to reflect on teaching practices. In the article you are about to read, he explains to us that if Man learns it is to become a Man.
Read an extract from one of these speeches and answer the question: "For there is no human being unless there is transmission, appropriation of what is transmitted and therefore learning. Man is characterised by the fact that he can and must learn. He comes into the world infinitely deprived. He is more fragile than the horse, less rapid than the gazelle. He does not fly. It simply has a multiplicity of synaptic possibilities. He must develop these possibilities and he can only do so through education. Man is the only being that needs to be educated and we don't know of a child that has become a man without it. We must therefore learn: this is the price of our freedom. Thus, for example, what differentiates man from the bee is that he does not carry his political regime in chromosomes. The bee does! No one has ever seen a republican bee. The bee is genetically royalist. No man is genetically either royalist or republican. We are a 'possibility of being' and only reveal this possibility through learning and then through the deliberate choices we make. But learning, the oldest profession in the world, is also the most difficult. Aristotle's old question in the Nicomachean Ethics is still relevant: "How else can one learn to play the zither if not by playing the zither? And if one knows how to play the zither, then why learn to play the zither?" An old philosophical question that seems a bit outdated in the light of new technologies, but which is, in fact, still relevant. Because learning is always about doing something you don't know how to do in order to learn how to do it. This is true for all our activities: we have learned a multitude of things by not knowing how to do them and by doing them anyway... to learn them.
