The Forgotten Art of Exploratory Learning
Summary
In the past 30 years, the best learning that I’ve done as a human being has been exploratory and self-directed in nature – be it advertising and media, gamification, or data sciences. The limitations on creativity and exploration that’ve been promoted recently will lead to ill-equipped and less dynamic professionals in the real world. The biggest concern here would be that forced (external) learning would take away/deteriorate the curiosity muscle of individuals that render them to become average learners. Only when the learner knows how to even read the Valley Forge Casino sign, she will, with additional effort, be able to grapple with the writings of Kant. Why aren’t we moving towards making our workforce expert at Self-Directed/Exploratory Learning within our organisations, especially when there are well documented facts that Self-Directed Learners/Self-Regulated Learners are more knowledgeable and high performers[1].
