Transferring Your Knowledge Effectively
summary
Defines learning as relatively permanent change and uses three concrete learning theories — behaviorism, cognitivism, constructivism — to justify methods: assess starting knowledge, define unfamiliar terms like VoiceOver keys: Control+Option, break concepts into smallest parts, let confusion simmer then correct, and encode via retrieval practice. Describes two volunteer programs built and run successfully — Avocado program at a larger company and G Stag sticker incentivized Mind Mingle at a startup — which produced sustained presenter signups and months of scheduled sessions. Recommends the book Make It Stick.
