Science of Learning & Training
Duration: 4 hours
Target Audience: Engineers, product designers, R&D managers, corporate heads
Brief:
Human brain is the most complex organ in the entire universe. It is about 1.5 kg in weight, has 100 billion neurons, and 40 quadrillion connections. It generates more number of thoughts than the number of elementary particles in the universe. These thoughts constitute what we call mind, though, there is no agreed up on scientific definition of the human mind.
During training people are exposed to new concepts such as lean, six-sigma, and are taught new tools such as problem solving tools and statistical tools. Learning by the mind, happens during training. Learning by the mind-body happens during project execution, where motor-skills are developed. During training and learning, the neurons in the brain and the body literally get rewired. New connections are established. Establishing new connections is what is learning. Once we understand what is learning, what one should do in order to learn better and faster, the thing becomes easy. Other qualities also come into play: motivation, concentration, repetition, memory, reinforcement, and the use of appropriate learning tools.
