Multi-Level Learning
Intro
Multilevel learning is a pedagogical method of presenting the same overview curriculum, but presenting information with different levels of complexity such that a topic can be understood by novices and experts alike. This involves mastery of comprehension on the part of the teacher, and is related to the Feynman Method of being able to explain anything to a child.
Multilevel hands-on learning is the deliberate mixing of task complexity and skill requirement in any collaborating team to enable class mixing, class mobility, and improved problem-solving. Such as mixing maintenance, design, build, executive functions in one flat team. Each person has maximum learning and advancement opportunity, and the whole team helps each other grow. In absence of such cohesion, members may be moved to other teams, or allocated to other roles if they cannot function effectively with the rest of the team. Tribalism and bullying is avoided by mission orientation, where part of the mission is acting in a supportive manner to the rest of the team - as part of a collaborative abundance mindset. If a person does not perform, the first option is education or remediation learning. If remediation is not successful, the person must be transitioned out on grounds of maintaining overall morale and performance.
The OSE Apprenticeship in its 2025-onwards implementation is based on multi-level learning: flat teams without glass ceilings, marked by humility of team members.
More
Learning at different levels of complexity - such as what a 10 year old would understand, and what an expert would understand - at the same time. Includes 'popular knowledge', 'hooto other knowledge', patterns, key concepts, zooming out, zooming in, 'advanced concepts', 'back of envelope calculations, 'rigorous calculations' - all at the same time.
This is an integrated methodology that we are developing at OSE as a pedagogy that can potentially turn civilization on to the next level of humanistic and scientific progress.
Practical
For OSE, multilevel learning is an explicit pedagogical method.
For the OSE Fellowship, this is key to House Production Collaborative Literacy, with intent to transition readily to Civilization Design Collaborative Literacy.
Specifically, OSE intends to be a Class Mixer with a common bond of Integrated Growth Mindset. This means that different collar interests can work together if they all have. a common bond of making a better world, and demonstrate a profound desire for integrated lifelong learning. In such a scenario, we focus on rebuilding architectures, with everybody starting on the factory floor, and breaking any glass ceiling as soon as they learn any competency. For this, esteem is required to work harmoniously, by valuin that both mundane and elite tasks need to be accomplished. And - by understanding that any good work is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. In thus context, maximum focus on inclusion is obtained by transparency, simplicity, meaningfulness, and modularity of everything that we do.
Anyone can follow or lead any time they want.bto lead, they must acquire skills. To follow, one must have esteem. To lead, one must be dedicated to empowering others - so they rise to new tasks while freeing up the former leader to new pursuits. The leader thinks about meaning, because they also started on the factory floor.
The 24-student cohort design simplybrequires that everyone helps each other grow and learn, and gain powers. As other cohorts come online, theybalso collaborate in expanding the pie, as a culture of abundance is created.
