See Sugata's TED talk
Take aways
- Learning can happen without trainer intervention just by providing tools and a mentor who is purely curious about what learners can do.
- Only 30% of trainees are self-directed and there is criticism that this type of learning disrupts others learning
Details
Sugata provided a computer and not instructions on how to use it for children in a remote Indian village. The children spoke no English nor had any understanding of computers, however they taught themselves both.
In balance it's clear that not everyone self directs their learning less than %30 and there have been criticisms of the outcomes, that this type of learning derailed more formal classroom based learning.
