#89 - Learning experiments

Learning something new isn’t always a linear process. Sometimes we focus too much on theory and delay practice. Other times, we feel stuck in a single learning method without considering alternatives. How can we experiment with different ways of learning? What’s the right balance between theory and practice? How can we evaluate if a method is truly working for us? These are some of the questions we explore in episode 89 of ‘Poder aprender.’

Every learner has their own “little book” when it comes to learning. It’s not just teachers who have methods—students can and should choose how they learn best. Exploring different strategies and learning styles allows us to personalize our experience and make it more effective. By taking an experimental approach, we can discover what works best for us at different stages of our lives.

Learning itself can be seen as an experiment. Just like in science, trying different methods helps us understand what suits us best. We’re not limited to a single style; we can combine visual, auditory, and kinesthetic approaches, adapting as needed based on our circumstances and personal preferences.

Another key aspect is the balance between following instructions and creating our own experiences. Theory gives us a foundation, but real understanding comes through practice. Often, we only grasp a concept fully when we test it in real life, adjust our strategies, and learn from our own experiences.

Finally, trusting our ability to learn is essential. Progress comes from experimenting without fear of failure and being open to changing our approach when necessary. By adopting this mindset, we turn learning into an ongoing exploration where every attempt brings us closer to our goals.

These are the topics of episode #89

• There is no single way to learn
• Following instructions vs. having experiences
• Duration of an experiment
