Real Life Meta-Learning: Teaching and Learning to Learn

**_Teaching _**and learning are two of the most important skills we can cultivate to better ourselves and those around us. While we may think of these skills as ones that only apply while we’re in school, in this article, I hope to illustrate how important it is to actively use these skills every day for the rest of your life.

Like it or not, we are always teaching and learning — but the impacts, positive or negative, we leave on ourselves and others through these activities depend largely on our skills in these abilities [1]. By learning the best ways we teach and learn (meta-teaching and meta-learning), our teaching and learning efforts will do more for everyone.

In this article, my goal is to give you a new perspective on lifelong learning and teaching through three main ideas:

1. Learning and teaching are crucial activities we do throughout our lives, extending far beyond the classroom.
2. Learning how we learn (meta-learning) is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of learning.
3. One way to think of teaching is that we are teaching others how to learn.

We’ll start by talking about these ideas conceptually, and after, we’ll dive into how we can formulate these ideas as optimization problems. If you’d like to see my corresponding article covering these optimizations, you can view it here.

Ready? Let’s dive in!

Google Reveals "What is being Transferred” in Transfer Learning

Recently, researchers from Google proposed the solution of a very fundamental question in the machine learning community — What is being transferred in Transfer Learning? They explained various tools and analyses to address the fundamental question.

The ability to transfer the domain knowledge of one machine in which it is trained on to another where the data is usually scarce is one of the desired capabilities for machines. Researchers around the globe have been using transfer learning in various deep learning applications, including object detection, image classification, medical imaging tasks, among others.

Learning Software Through Need

When I began my journey into software development, I only really wanted one thing. My goal was to create a mobile game. This was long before I had taken a single programming course, so I had no idea what I was doing. I searched for resources and decided to start learning Unity. The biggest thing in the way of my perfect mobile game was the fact that I didn’t know how to code. Where does a beginner go from here? Did I buy a book on C# and work my way up to basic data structures and algorithms? Not quite.

The path that I took was the path that I needed. I began by watching some Unity tutorials. I got the feel for the software, and decided it was time to begin. I sketched out a very simple game idea and began with the mindset that I would like to describe here. I started with a problem, and then I figured out how to solve that problem. This could have been how to change scenes, import images, or change graphics settings. I learned what I needed to complete the task at hand. It was this mindset that carried me all the way through.

However, what I had accomplished was far from perfect. There were gaping holes in my knowledge. The game was not the next Flappy Bird to my surprise. It took me two whole apps before I understood how to use a for loop. But what I had learned was stuck in my brain. The skills that I had built may not have been perfect, but I understood generally what I was doing and why. What can we take away from this? Let’s start back at the beginning.

The first thing you learn as a programmer is how to print Hello World! How exhilarating. We’re now a few if statements away from solving all the world’s problems. This step forces you to trust the syntax that is supposed to magically work. We file away explaining how things are compiled, and many other more complicated processes are thrown into the black box.

Once we have Hello World! what follows is a boring PowerPoint on data types, semicolons, and basic arithmetic operations. This is largely unhelpful and exactly what my CS 160 class was like. What we want to do instead is to show the goal. Let’s say a simple console-based menu for a restaurant. The students have one tool in their belt. They can print Hello World! The goal is to give them tools once they see the value of these tools. Show them why they need variables, then give them variables, and then teach them the constraints. If you give them something without showing its usefulness, they will not learn it until they do need it, and any teaching you do between those two points will be much less effective. If our goal is a menu, then we need to print something other than Hello World! This part is easy. The next part is to print something specific based on user input. That requires a new tool. By breaking down large problems into bite sized chunks, we allow growth to be natural while still having the larger picture in view.

The essential difference in teaching style here is that you let the student hit the roadblock and realize the extent of their current tool set. At this point they will see the need for another tool or skill, and in this frame of mind the student is most prepared to learn. This means that your job as a teacher is to give them good problems to solve such that they will hit the roadblocks that you intend, thus showing them the need for what you want to teach to them.

Recently, I began learning about how to deal with legacy code. I watched an hour-long video on unit testing, but none of it made any sense to me because I had never tried unit testing legacy code before. I never realized my need for these methods because I never had hit those roadblocks myself. They only began to make sense after I got into the code and tried unit testing without these methods. After being stuck myself with my current skills, I realized my need for learning. Everything began to make sense once I could see the problem.
