Being exposed to Jane's story was an experience because, through the feelings generated at that moment, I can explore how we touch people's hearts through lived stories and develop deep feelings of transformations and changes in people's behavior. People. It is an excellent tool to persuade and influence attitudes and behaviors. Once again, I echo Simon Sinek's theory. Finding the why means touching those emotions that release and drive people to make a change!
The world is complex and diverse; we need to make use of our judgment, wisdom, or COMMON SENSE, for no ethical rules or principles tell us what is always correct. What we call common sense is what we all consider to be essential and evident knowledge. They are the conclusions that we reach almost automatically when we try to analyze what we perceive. But when push comes to shove, it's not easy to understand exactly what common sense is. If we spend a little time researching, we will find how Aristotle attributed it to our ability to perceive the same sensory stimuli almost identically when they appeal to our senses. But other thinkers make use of the concept of common sense to establish that beyond the senses, we all have a standard psychological matrix that enables us to analyze a thing and extract similar ideas critically.
Jenic Across affirms that Our greatest adversary is not that change is difficult to make. The greatest adversary is common sense. Answering how common sense contributes to behavior change myths is challenging for the reason that common sense is what we do that feels right but only sometimes after the laws or rules. As an illustration, a thing that we often have to teach in our classrooms is a complicated topic and, in some way, we have to avoid the rules aiming to get better student benefits. We participate and see that societies and institutions take the path of creating rules, procedures, and incentive programs to push people in the right direction. More than unthinkingly following these regulations is needed to sow wisdom and awareness. Making the best decision, be it at work, in teaching, over a patient, etc., involves experience, trial and error, the learning that comes from those errors, and the chance to do it all over again.
We often suppose that information or education about a topic will directly induce behavior change. However, common sense tells us that understanding the consequences of an action does not always change habits. We make the assumption that a person knows their motivation, and they will change their behavior if we can identify it and provide the motivators. The true value of common sense is to guide us when the reason, the norm, or the equations do not work. This tool will be very reliable for us, especially when we try to change a given behavior and attitude. Common sense leads to the solutions on how to escape these dilemmas and adventures.
How can I use the six sources of influence in my change initiative?
Implementing blended learning in kindergarten can be a transformative educational strategy, especially using the six sources of influence from Patterson and Grenny's "Influencer" model. I would recognize what intrinsically motivates kindergarteners, such as curiosity and the joy of learning through play. Integrate educational games and interactive activities that make learning enjoyable and stimulating. Use technology to create fun and engaging learning environments. Teach basic digital literacy skills to both students and teachers. This may include simple tasks for kindergarteners, like using a tablet or navigating a friendly educational app (personal skills). Encourage group activities and projects that require collaboration between students. Involve parents and caregivers in the learning process. Provide them with resources and information on how they can support their children's blended learning at home. (Social Motivation). Use tools such as educational applications that support teamwork and peer interactions. Establish a support network between teachers, parents, and administrators. This may include regular meetings, online forums, and workshops where experiences and best practices are shared (Social Motivation). Create a reward and recognition system for students who actively participate and excel in blended learning activities. This can include digital badges, certificates, or simply praise and encouragement. By strategically applying the six sources of influence, you can create a dynamic and supportive learning environment that enhances the educational experience of kindergarten children.
