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.

Processing Times with Dr Pippa Busch - Part One
"I break processing into three different areas with their input, the processing and the output."
Dr. Pippa Busch, a child and educational psychologist, discusses the concept of processing time in education. She breaks down the process into three stages: input, processing, and output.
The input stage involves sensory organs converting stimuli into neural signals.
The processing stage involves working memory and long-term memory, as well as decision-making and planning responses.
The output stage is the response to the information received. Dr. Busch emphasizes that processing time varies for each individual and is influenced by factors such as experience, genetics, stress levels, and sleep. She also highlights the importance of creating a safe space for learning and normalizing mistakes in the classroom.
