Forget the 10,000 hour rule— what if it’s possible to learn the basics of any new skill in 20 hours or less? Take a moment to consider how many things you want to learn to do. What’s on your list? What’s holding you back from getting started? Are you worried about the time and effort it takes to acquire new skills—time you don’t have and effort you can’t spare? Research suggests it takes 10,000 hours to develop a new skill. In this nonstop world when will you ever find that much time and energy? To make matters worse, the early hours of practicing something new are always the most frustrating. That’s why it’s difficult to learn how to speak a new language, play an instrument, hit a golf ball, or shoot great photos. It’s so much easier to watch TV or surf the web . . . In The First 20 Hours, Josh Kaufman offers a systematic approach to rapid skill acquisition— how to learn any new skill as quickly as possible. His method shows you how to deconstruct complex skills, maximize productive practice, and remove common learning barriers. By completing just 20 hours of focused, deliberate practice you’ll go from knowing absolutely nothing to performing noticeably well. Kaufman personally field-tested the methods in this book. You’ll have a front row seat as he develops a personal yoga practice, writes his own web-based computer programs, teaches himself to touch type on a nonstandard keyboard, explores the oldest and most complex board game in history, picks up the ukulele, and learns how to windsurf. Here are a few of the simple techniques he teaches: Define your target performance level: Figure out what your desired level of skill looks like, what you’re trying to achieve, and what you’ll be able to do when you’re done. The more specific, the better. Deconstruct the skill: Most of the things we think of as skills are actually bundles of smaller subskills. If you break down the subcomponents, it’s easier to figure out which ones are most important and practice those first. Eliminate barriers to practice: Removing common distractions and unnecessary effort makes it much easier to sit down and focus on deliberate practice. Create fast feedback loops: Getting accurate, real-time information about how well you’re performing during practice makes it much easier to improve. Whether you want to paint a portrait, launch a start-up, fly an airplane, or juggle flaming chainsaws, The First 20 Hours will help you pick up the basics of any skill in record time . . . and have more fun along the way.

Studies have been made showing that the reasons that a large number of students are not able to earn good grades is attributed to many factors. Some of these factors (copouts) are: the teacher doesn¿t like me; I never have been a good student; environment; lack of interest in the subject matter; ethnicity and language. This is very interesting, but most of them are not reasons, they are just excuses. The main reason that students do not learn well is that they have not been taught how to study. Many school systems water down the content to the level of the slowest child so that all can have social, not academic promotion to the next level. It is sad, but a large percent of schoolteachers do not know how to study properly. If the teacher does not know how to learn, how can they be expected to teach ¿learning¿? The key success for the learning triangle is that parents must become involved. Many parents spend more time working with their child to teach them to play sports than they do working with them to learn. For young people in the U.S.A., ¿learning¿ assures future earning and success, not ¿sports¿. The most damaging and horrific problem in the public educational program is that we must all be ¿politically correct¿. This great country has enjoyed centuries of success because those who came to live had to learn and use English. Our family lived in Japan two years after WW II ended. Even though there was much devastation throughout the country, the school system was back in full swing. The children attended class for six days a week (Saturday was only a half day) and had long homework assignments. In addition to learning, the students cleaned the classrooms each day. A key element to the success of the educational program in Japan is that the teachers are treated with respect in the community. They are respected not only because they are dedicated, but the Japanese people know that teachers hold the key for the success of their children in later years. One of the greatest keys to learning is that one must learn to take detailed notes. This is true when reading, doing homework, sitting in class and working in study groups. ¿Goal setting¿ early in life pays off later. A study was done years ago involving Ivy League students. Three percent of the students had written down their goals for life. Ninety-seven percent had not. Twenty years later the three percent who had written their goals earned more income than the other ninety-seven percent combined. The success of writing goals and guideline works as well for students. One should set guidelines for studying. These guidelines include where homework will be done, when it will be done and how it will be done. Not only should students take copious notes in class, but they must take excellent notes while reading the text. A simple plan is:1. Write it down ¿ when you write things down your mind has to focus on the material 2. Make it clear ¿ if it is not clear, it will make it difficult to read when you are reviewing the information or if you are trying to explain it to others 3. Refresh your memory by reading the notes over and over ¿ the repetitive experience reinforces the ability to retain information 4. Evaluate the notes ¿ if they do not contain enough information, add to them and if there is too much information, delete some of it 5. Evaluate your knowledge about the information ¿ ask yourself if someone who had not read the book or taken the course could learn from your notes 6. Run with it ¿ take the exam with confidence as you read this book, you should realize that certain ideas are repeated for emphasis reasons. STUDENTS SPEND TWELVE OR MOREYEARS IN SCHOOL. It is pathetic that there is not a course teaching one how to become a proficient student. There are a few simple tricks that one can learn about reading texts, studying for, and taking exams. Having taught for many years, I have seen firsthand the lack of learning skills. This handbook demonstrates how easily learning skills can be acquired. Hilliard Shackford and I were co-authors of a textbook for adults taking real estate courses. One chapter dealt with how to read a textbook, study for, and take exams. Not only did the Real Estate Commission approve the text, but Ann Tuck, Executive Director of the Commission, especially loved the unit dealing with learning how to read a text and take exams. Many students said that they had never learned how to study until they took the course and read the book. Many stated that learning this way was easy and felt that they could have done much better in high school and college had they had this information while students. (I wish that I had known this information when I was a student.) The following is a result of many requests that this information be made available for children and grandchildren of our satisfied students.

This book explores the theoretical foundations of gamification in learning and education. It has become increasingly difficult to engage and motivate students. Gamification not only makes learning interesting, but also allows game players to solve problems and learn lessons through repeated attempts and failures. This "positive failure" can motivate students to attempt a difficult mission. Chapters in this volume cover topics such as the definition and characteristics of gamification, gamification in learning and education, theories, research on gamification, framework, strategy, and cases.

A common idea within modern education is that digital technologies and traditional learning cannot coexist successfully, that essentially technologies can be distracting and disrupting for students. It is believed that current implementations of technology in educational settings create an environment that is at odds with itself. However, this dichotomy between traditional learning and educational technologies does not need to be the default. Digital technology can be used in positive ways to enhance learning, whether it is providing easier access to information or in a creative light such as the implementation of video games as learning tools. Ultimately, it is possible to incorporate technologies into classical education strategies so that they complement each other. Acquiring Learning Skills With Digital Technology is a critical scholarly publication that examines cutting-edge research on how digital technologies disrupt the traditional learning structure, and proposes ways in which traditional learning and digital technology can complement each other. This will improve learning while communicating a program of skill-acquisitions that can become the basis for stand-alone general education courses and as teaching techniques. It examines three skills that the authors define as trim (abilities in the economy and concentration of language), track (progressive comprehension of documents), and test (pragmatic testing of data and precepts located on search engines). The authors demonstrate these skills’ links to already-established digital skills, platforms, and protocols while also giving examples of each in both practice and format. The book examines a variety of technologies including video games, the internet, and social media, in particular Skype, Google, and Twitter. Featuring a wide range of topics such as social media, pedagogy, and psychology, this book is ideal for education professionals, academicians, IT professionals, researchers, computer scientists, psychologists, and students.

"Character" has become a front-and-center topic in contemporary discourse, but this term does not have a fixed meaning. Character may be simply defined by what someone does not do, but a more active and thorough definition is necessary, one that addresses certain vital questions. Is character a singular characteristic of an individual, or is it composed of different aspects? Does character--however we define it--exist in degrees, or is it simply something one happens to have? How can character be developed? Can it be learned? Relatedly, can it be taught, and who might be the most effective teacher? What roles are played by family, schools, the media, religion, and the larger culture? This groundbreaking handbook of character strengths and virtues is the first progress report from a prestigious group of researchers who have undertaken the systematic classification and measurement of widely valued positive traits. They approach good character in terms of separate strengths-authenticity, persistence, kindness, gratitude, hope, humor, and so on-each of which exists in degrees. Character Strengths and Virtues classifies twenty-four specific strengths under six broad virtues that consistently emerge across history and culture: wisdom, courage, humanity, justice, temperance, and transcendence. Each strength is thoroughly examined in its own chapter, with special attention to its meaning, explanation, measurement, causes, correlates, consequences, and development across the life span, as well as to strategies for its deliberate cultivation. This book demands the attention of anyone interested in psychology and what it can teach about the good life.
