Andrew Lian: For many years, I have been trying to discover\/find\/identify\/create minimal principles for learning\/teaching. Am I getting close?<\/p>\n
NB. \u201cMaking the learners aware\u201d does not, of itself, imply the intervention of an external party (e.g. a teacher) in the process. Learners may be able to find ways to make themselves aware of characteristics of signals or else they can use awareness-raising approaches and resources developed by others.<\/p>\n
Of course, the detail of how one may achieve this can be very complicated but if we remember these principles then we have a clear path.<\/p>\n
Note that the signals referred to here are not necessarily physical, e.g. a sound or a colour, but might include an idea or a way of thinking. Signal-manipulation can take many forms, ranging from discursive approaches like telling the listener to notice something, to actual physical transformation of the signal like digital filtering. This process is a form of awareness-raising (Gattegno, 1987; Lian, 1987; Mason, 1998; Schmidt, 2012) and, [\u2026] it is a central component of the act of learning and, therefore, teaching<\/p>\n
