Matrix Martial Arts Evolves an Extreme Learning Method

Sad to say, the martial arts are passed along by what I call the Stringular Method. This method is an incredibly inefficient methods of imparting data, and is actually on the level of Monkey see monkey do. This method is so slow that it can actually stop the transmission of data from teacher to student, yet it is used in every martial arts, from karate to kung fu.

To understand the impact of what I have just written, we must define the types of learning, and put them in a proper order. To do this will enable a student to learn faster. Ultimately, there are other things to be considered, but this factor, the methodology employed, is of vital importance.

The first method of learning I have labeled The Simple Datum Method. An animal is hungry, sees an apple, eats the apple, inputs data as to the future and proper dispensation of apples. Sadly, many people learn only on this level throughout the third world countries of the world.

The second method I have labeled the Stringular Method, and it is the memorization of random strings of data. This is the method by which children are taught to learn in countries lacking adequate methods of education. This is the method used in the martial arts, and, truth be told, it is nothing more than Monkey See Monkey Do.

The third category of learning I have called the Mosaic Method, and this is the method used to achieve enlightenment, such as it is. Simply, a person memorizes enough random strings of data to perceive a mental image. The image may be all messed in a variety of incredible ways, but it has been filled in enough for the person to envision, and thus he actually learns.

The fourth method is a modern method, and I have labeled it The Linear Method. The Linear Method entails the memorization of strings of logical data, and it was used to teach children in modern society up to recent times. Unfortunately, the method, even when it was used to good effect, ended with children, and advanced methods of learning were not cultivated.

The fifth method I have labeled Matrixing. In this method the data is linear, and the linearity is held to until a mosaic, not slanted nor skewed, is arrived at. This is an amazingly efficient method of teaching, and people who have experienced Matrixing begin to input by strings of logical mosaics, or matrices.

Animal to child to adult, thinking about to intuition, the learning methods evolve. There are many ways to consider the far reaching effects of what I have discovered in the field of education. The most important thing to be considered, however, is that the effects of Matrixing, profound and enlightening. are best achieved through a practice of the martial arts, specifically of Matrix Martial Arts.

The New Update on Adult Learning Theory


The New Update on Adult Learning Theory


$22.26


A companion work to 1993's popular "An Update on Adult Learning Theory," this issue provides the adult learning educator with the latest developments, significant research, and continuing scholarship in andragogy and self-directed learning. Exploring a variety of frameworks, including context-based learning, informal and incidental learning, somatic learning, and narrative learning; the authors analyze recent additions to well-established theories and discuss the potential impact of today's cutting-edge approaches. Revised models of theories introduced in the 1993 edition, such as women's learning and transformational learning, are updated with the results of burgeoning scholarship and empirical data gathered in the 1990s. Articles also introduce pioneering developments in adult learning research, including new understandings of the brain's relationship to mind and consciousness and the role of emotions, feelings, and the imagination in the learning process. As an assessment of adult learning theory today, this volume is an indispensable resource for adult learning educators committed to delivering a more effective practice in the classroom, in the workplace, or in the community. This is the 89th volume of the quarterly journal "New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education."

Learning With a Visual Brain in an Auditory World


Learning With a Visual Brain in an Auditory World


$23.37


Children diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often present parents and educators with perplexing symptoms. Even though the skills of children with ASD can range from very high to very low, they have similar underlying learning systems. Knowledge about these learning systems helps provide direction for choosing effective assessment and intervention methods for helping individuals with ASD learn to behave, to perform academically, and to become socially competent.This book is unique in that the authors are recommending strategies based on the language of the way individuals with ASD learn. Even though many scholars recognize that individuals with ASD use "visual" ways of thinking, most fail to realize that a visual mental language is different from the visual sensory system of seeing something.The book is divided into three sections. Section One (Chapters 1-5) is about the learning system. Section Two (Chapters 6-9) connects the learning of a child with ASD to how the child performs behaviorally, academically, and socially. Finally, Section Three (Chapters 10-15) provides intervention strategies for helping a person (child or adult) with the visual brain characteristic of ASD to fit into an auditory culture.The strategies are language-based and take into consideration the complexity of the underlying biological learning system.

The Oxford Handbook of Reciprocal Adult Development and Learning (Hardcover)


The Oxford Handbook of Reciprocal Adult Development and Learning (Hardcover)


$133.64


The fields of adult development and the study of learning have traditionally been considered separate, with development falling under psychology and learning under education. However, recent ideas, research, and practices that have emerged in these fields of study effectively emphasize the inherent reciprocal relationship that exists between them: advances in development frequently lead to learning, and conversely, learning almost necessarily fuels development.In this second edition of The Oxford Handbook of Reciprocal Adult Learning and Development, the synchronicity between development and learning is explored further, as expert authors advance the latest theories to provide a rich foundation for this new area of study and practice for this interrelated field of study. At the border of two disciplines, this handbook focuses on the capacities of intelligence, meta-cognition, insight, self-efficacy, spirituality, interpersonal competence, wisdom, and other key adult attributes as they relate to positive changes and personal growth in adults. Contexts for development and learning (e.g., the work role and environment) are also addressed, and mixed in throughout the volume are emanating implications for research, practice, and policy. What emerges is a thoughtful handbook for all who promote optimal aging, and is a must-read for academics, psychologists, and practitioners in adult development.
