A framework of chess improvement.

For a chess player self knowledge is the key to improvement and getting your rating up. The illustration below is an attempt to distinguish the elements that determine your strength, results and rating.

3. Seek Flow Experiences

“Flow” is a term coined by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi to describe the state that is reached when you’re so completely absorbed in what you’re doing that you don’t notice the passage of time. That is, nothing else seems to matter: the person is totally unaware of their surroundings, and they’re enjoying the task and having fun engaging in it.

This complete immersion in an experience can occur under many different scenarios, such as when you’re singing in the church choir, dancing, playing bridge, reading a good book, writing, or while closing an important business deal. The flow state can be achieved by knowing what your strengths are, re-crafting your life to use these strengths as much as you possibly can, and becoming fully engaged in what you’re doing.

Formative Interfaces for Scaffolding Self-Regulated Learning in PLEs

Wed, 06 Aug 2008 12:27:20 GMT

clipped by: akipta
clipper's remarks: A Personal Learning Environment (PLE) is a software application (desktop or web-based) which allows students to organise learning resources and publish individual outcomes. Although PLEs are built for bottom-up personal use, they involve communication and increasingly social tools, promoting networked learning scenarios. Knowledge management, syndicating resources, trustworthiness and assessment on the assemblage of resources are actual research issues related to the improvement of PLEs.

Clip Source: www.elearningpapers.eu

Without a pedagogical value-add, PLEs cannot be viewed as educational tools, but perhaps advanced, user-friendly file management tools. Therefore, how can such a user-centric tool influence the study process so that meaningful and constructive activities are committed more often than rudimentary informal learning? In other words, how can self-regulation be scaffolded by a PLE? Based on research that points out the role of scaffolding in activating higher order learning competencies it is theorised in this paper that these competencies can be performed even by young users.

You Must Remember This

Sun, 27 Jul 2008 08:54:29 GMT

clipped by: abailart
clipper's remarks: Easy read, quite amusing, a somewhat sardonic slant on current obsessions for neuroporn and the
current cutting edge of the self-improvement industries. Mind you, I may have made up that reading rather than remembered it.

Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk

Forgetting has taken over from hearing impairment and male-pattern baldness as my principal midlife worry.

Memory isn't just something, it's everything - the sum of who we are, the glue, page and spine of our story, the repository of our identity. It's no more than a handful of sludge but it's also vast - a great galaxy of all we have experienced and known, constantly updating, drawing meaning from the absurd blizzard of life to make and shape and sharpen our personalities and intellects and gut feelings.

Our appetite for better brains is an obsession reflected in the worldwide expansion over the past decade of neuroscience studies.

Amazon is full of brain workouts

Cue the concomitant explosion of media interest, with hopeful stories about treatments for dementia or the benefits of eating sardines.

Kaizen

clipper's remarks: no reason not to include individual self-improvement in this type of process for success.

Clip Source: www.newyorker.com

Toyota’s approach: defining innovation as an incremental process, in which the goal is not to make huge, sudden leaps but, rather, to make things better on a daily basis. (The principle is often known by its Japanese name, kaizen—continuous improvement.) Instead of trying to throw long touchdown passes, as it were, Toyota moves down the field by means of short and steady gains. And so it rejects the idea that innovation is the province of an elect few; instead, it’s taken to be an everyday task for which everyone is responsible.

Better?

Are you better at what you do than you were a month or two ago?

A lot better?

How did you get better? What did you read or try? Did you fail at something and learn from it? Does that mindless stuff you do at work when the boss isn't looking (or all those meetings you go to are all those emails you answer) make you better or just pass the time?

If you got better faster, would that be a good thing? How could you make that happen?

A lot of questions so early in the morning, but the truth is that marketing rewards improvement. It didn't used to. It used to reward stability. Corn Flakes are Corn Flakes.

Western Democracy Loses Ground to Autocrats

It's the best of all bad forms of government, but for many it's no longer good enough. Today democracy leaves lots of people cold, and in Asia and Africa, many prefer autocratic systems. Damaged by Bush, Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, few are interested in the model of democracy exported by the United States.

Clip Source: www.spiegel.de

The decisive trend in the direction of pluralism and separation of powers can only come from below, from the grassroots level of a country. It must be connected with hope for improvement in living conditions and personal freedoms. It is only in this way that we can break away from the "self-inflicted dependence" Immanuel Kant spoke of.
