This seems wrong...?

It’s a little outdated and the graphic is confusing. But it’s a kid-friendly version on how learning works.

It’s based on Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development from the early 1900s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_of_proximal_development

Blended with Maslows Hierarchy of needs https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs

To create Bloom’s Taxonomy in the 1950s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloom%27s_taxonomy#/media/File%3ABloom's_Revised_Taxonomy.jpg

And distilled to the “Conscious Competence” learning model. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence

These frameworks are the very basics of learning. Learning models are still evolving today but this is the best attempt humans have done at mapping how we learn.

There are more frameworks currently being tested but it takes about 20 years so….

Nice links. Vygotsky and Bloom I hadn't heard of before. I love the historicity of your post, people always gloss over WHEN the theories they're teaching were formed, thus robbing the learner of the potential to critique and contrast said new learning in the context of the academic and social zeitgeist of the era.

Our educational system is ancient compared to technology. But compared to time, it’s revolutionary.

The wide-spread access of the internet was only 15 years ago. It drastically transformed the world. It’s still transforming the world.

We’re all living in a time that history books will have chapters on.

I think this is particularly applying to people who are stuck in life. People who tend to be stuck here may be fearing the first step to break out into the unknown and out of their comfort zone (i.e. getting over social anxiety in order to meet new people and network, moving to a new area to be open to more job offers, etc.). Some people's comfort zone can be more detrimental than others, and it could parallel the mindset of having a security blanket all the way to having an addictive behavior that's been keeping them stuck. Letting go of that security blanket or those coping mechanisms can be very difficult and anxiety inducing for a lot of people.

I'm curious...Why do you think so?

According to the graph it is an infinitely small step to go from red to dark green if you go left.

But you understand its figurative, that you're supposed to follow the arrow and you understand what's its trying to say?

well you are right, and it's good to also be aware of the limits of models but I think you conciously want to misunderstand the picture. Models always have their limits but it's way more productive to find the truth in it, the point that can help you advance

Or just put the comfort zone in the center? Growth can go both ways.

He didn’t make this. Google image “comfort zone”

Don't think you can call it growth if you start regressing

I'll keep it in mind thank you

Because the comfort zone isn’t necessarily out of fear or more contracted than fear. It can be a new normal created from a previous growth zone expansion.
