1. The document discusses educational theory and concepts relevant to learning at hacker schools. 2. It promotes three main ideas: that learning is designable like coding, individual brains learn differently, and learning is not an isolated process but relies on community and collaboration. 3. Various learning theories are covered briefly, including cognitive apprenticeship and legitimate peripheral participation within a community of practice. Motivation, mindset, and overcoming challenges are also addressed.

- 1. edupsych theory for hacker school (hacker school f2013) follow along at bit.ly/hackerschool-f2013
- 3. WAT
- 6. 3 big ideas 1. learning is designable like code 2. our brains are snowflakes 3. we do not function standalone
- 7. 1Design your learning the same way you design your code Design your learning the same way you design your code
- 9. Example 1: This project is a text editor, mail and news reader, debugger, project planner, calendar, and natural language processing demo for simulating a human. Example 2: This project is a distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.
- 10. What is your hacker school learning story? (I'mlearning X because of Y. My next step is Z.)

- 18. 2 Our brains are like snowflakes. Everyone learns differently.

- 23. 3 We do not learn standalone. Importing is important.
- 25. In a cognitive apprenticeship within a community of practice... zone of proximal development legitimate peripheral participation
- 26. Zone of proximal development: learning to bike 1. watching 2. somebody pushes you 3. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
- 27. Zone of proximal development: learning to program 1. watching 2. somebody pushes you 3. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
- 28. Zone of proximal development: learning to program 1. watching 2. pair programming, code review, etc... 3. wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

- 51. Motivation
- 52. Motivation (Deci, Ryan) 1. amotivation 2. external regulation 3. identified regulation 4. intrinsic motivation autonomy relatedness competence (thanks to Jon Stolk, Rob Martello, Mark Somerville, and the Olin College I2E2 crew)
- 53. Self-efficacy (Bandura) 1. doing it 2. seeing people (like me) do it 3. social persuasion 4. your own body (Bandura also did social learning, which is a lot of fun look it up!)
- 55. Attribution theory (Dweck) Fixed vs Growth mindsets aka Nature vs Nurture
- 56. FAIL #1: Assumption of privilege If it's hard, something's wrong with me vs If it's hard, something's wrong with it (I can fix that!)
