How does meta-learning improve the learning process?
For an individual, learning how to learn improves performance.
It includes such things as:
- self-empowerment (attitude, self-confidence,
understanding, what Senge calls "personal mastery")
- knowing and choosing the best way to learn
(individual, group, debate, triage, etc) and the best sources of information
- personal knowledge management (capturing
and reflecting on one's toolkit)
- forming powerful relationships (with mentors,
colleagues, info sources)
- continuous reflection (double loop, goal
of self-improvement)
- moving to a reinforcing learning environment
For an organization, improvement is
influenced by culture, organizational support, manager roles, and other
areas that extend beyond an individual can do:
- supportive organizational culture (tolerance
of mistakes, vision of learning's import)
- sense of community (common mission and
values, linkages)
- networking and communication infrastructure
- respect for learning (and time & incentive
to do it)
- appreciation of the ROI of learning
- helping individuals sharpen their learning
skills
- helping mentors help individuals sharpen
their learning skills
- implementing programs with sound meta-learning
design (e.g. situated, timing right, discovery, fun, mass-customized,
etc.)
The Meta-learning
Lab assesses at the learning process and fine-tunes it for long-term gain.
It's an investment in the future.
