Five “healthy tensions” found in many transformational learning experiences

Five critical insights into how we learn (that we are conditioned to ignore)

We have to overcome systems that inhibit deep learning...

1. As learners we actively construct knowledge, but we are conditioned to believe we are mostly passive recipients of knowledge.
2. We are never not learning, but we are conditioned to believe learning only happens in formal settings like school.
3. Our receptivity to different kinds of learning changes as we develop, but we are conditioned to believe we are all equally ready to learn in the same ways.
4. “Unlearning” IS learning, but we are conditioned to assume that “learning” only means gaining new insight even though deconstructing old ideas often leads to the most important growth.
5. Feeling safe, trusted, and free to be ourselves makes us most receptive to learning, but we are conditioned to believe pressure and intensity should drive learning.
