  • When 50,000 of Mark Rober's 3 million KRplus subscribers participated in a basic coding challenge, the data all pointed to what Rober has dubbed the Super Mario Effect. The KRplus star and former NASA engineer describes how this data-backed mindset for life gamification has stuck with him along his journey, and how it impacts the ways he helps (or tricks) his viewers into learning science, engineering, and design. Mark Rober has made a career out of engineering, entertainment, and education. After completing degrees in mechanical engineering from Brigham Young University and the University of Southern California, Rober joined NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2004. In his nine years as a NASA engineer, seven of which were on the Mars rover Curiosity team, Rober worked on both the Descent Stage (the jet pack that lowered the Rover to the surface) and some hardware on the Rover top deck for collecting samples. In 2011, Rober’s iPad-based Halloween costume helped launch both his creative costume company, Digital Dudz, and his KRplus channel, which now boasts 3 million subscribers and 400 million views. His videos focus on creative ideas and science- and engineering-based pranks and activities. Rober is a regular guest on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!". Today, he does research and development work for a large technology company in Northern California, where he lives with his wife and son. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    I remember watching a documentary about video games. Video game designers mentioned that in later Mario titles they replaced the "Game Over" screen with a "Continue" screen. This was to encourage players to keep playing. Novice video game players would take "Game Over" too literally and stop playing all together. Video game psychology should be implemented more in education.

    Mark is actually describing what makes the Finnish Education System so succesful: during the first years of basic comprehensive school (age seven to age sixteen), kids are basically not graded. No high stakes tests, mostly verbal assesments and so on. So the atmosphere is relaxed and that leads to children learning more and better. Remove the stress and learning gets to be a happy activity. Genius analogy BTW, well done Mark.

      Has it changed recently? It's been about 15 years since I ended that school. Back then we definitely had tests and even "surprise tests" (not sure of the phrase) that were all graded. I didn't mind at all. My parents had come up with a reward system for excellent grades, so I was looking forward to them most of the time. That being said, I like Rober's idea. In university we had a whole course completely gamified and it was the most interesting and immersive educational experience I've ever had. I kept sinking in hours into it night after night. It was a team competition which made it even more exciting.

      ​@@EnchWraits Whatever you want to learn, spend a lot of time on the basics. The key is to learn those basics from a bunch of different sources! Each teacher will fill in the gaps of another teacher's lesson, or present things in a way that's easier for a particular person to understand. This strategy helps you get a firm grasp so that everything you learn from that point on will stick way easier. KRplus is great for this. I never rely fully on one teacher or source. It can also be a much more relaxing way to learn because there is no pressure to understand everything right away. You just have to expose yourself to the content. It will work its way into your understanding through repeated exposure. Do some practice or research whenever you're inspired or have a question too. I hope this advice helps you and anyone reading!
      tl;dr: Repetition of exposure to the basics from a variety of teachers/sources.

    I have struggled in the modern education system my whole life. The way I learn best is just like Mark explained, and as someone with learning “disabilities”, I’ve always struggled to keep up with any educational system due to the emotional and mental stress involved. It’s all about the grade: did you fail or succeed? You made a mistake, your grade gets docked. You won’t get anywhere unless you have high grades etc That always stressed me out. And in school there isn’t really any going back to “try again” unless you’re Rick and have all the time one the world (even then often you cannot).
    Learning should be fun, memorable, and focused on the actual learning process and not always perfection along the way. Mistakes should be an opportunity to learn and grow rather than an accumulating sense of failure for when you actually struggle. There are also so many different learning styles, yet overall the education system is caters really only to one or a select few.
    This leads to people like me struggling, breaking down due to stress physically and mentally, and eventually quitting due to trauma and the inability to keep up. Self-esteem goes out the window, and as you watch other succeed where you couldn’t (because you were not allowed to due to your differences), you eventually begin to believe the lies that you could never be as smart as persons xyz.
    I hope someday we actually apply real science and real learning theory (as well as a dose of compassion and empathy) to our education system, both primary, secondary, and beyond.
    And while I don’t have all the answers, I do heartily believe we are doing a disservice to students of all ages everywhere when we don’t cultivate an environment of learning, but rather an environment that expects us to get everything correct the first time. The latter is obviously unrealistic, and also doesn’t leave a lasting impression in your long term learning memory: mistakes and failed attempts are one of the best ways to learn - you will know the whys, the hows, and the why nots so much better than you would if you just only got things “right” all the time. Scientifically speaking, this also leads to stagnation: if we assume what we know or did is right and there are no other options possible, we won’t grow or think outside the box.
    Wonderful Ted Talk. This is why I recommend KRplusrs like Mark Rober, Smarter Every Day, and dog trainers like Susan Garret to people. It’s important to make learning fun and accessible, while also encouraging people to take on big challenges without fearing failure.

    Absolutely beautiful Ted talk. I just wish that school’s would apply this logic. My biggest issue with school is that its mentality is all wrong. Every single aspect of it has issues but this is the biggest problem, whenever you get a below average grade you end up mourning your failure and end up compensating for the failure for the rest of the year. If school positively incentivizes your grade instead of punishing you for getting hit by a metaphorical green shell, than our education may end up being so much better than that of our eastern neighbors.

      You might find more success with less focus on the failures. The negative feelings towards failing are unnecessary, and don't help in any way. Although it may be inevitable to be disappointed from a failure, depending on the consequences.
      It is much better to learn rather than any other outcome from failure. So the need for disappointment or negative feelings are unnecessary, and harmful to learning.

    Something REALLY great about gamification is that it's also VERY useful for individuals with memory disorders that affect short term memory. And the thing is, ADHD is one such disorder in that it not only impairs short term memory, but it also affects all levels of executive functioning. Gamification actually helps to handle the symptoms that occur from this, but only if said gamification also has an actual level of accountability involved. By creating that level of accountability, you're essentially creating an alternate reward circuit and this allows you to train yourself to engage in tasks by breaking them down into smaller bits that are dealt with one by one, and in short chunks of time followed by tiny little breaks to recenter yourself. It essentially takes the problems with focusing and impulse control that most with ADHD experience and use them to get things done.

    • @Lewkis01
      @Lewkis01 년 전 +18

      Beautifully said. As someone with ADHD, learning and retaining are slippery slopes. I have learned that dopamine is a key component to retention. If I can be "taught" something in a way that makes it enjoyable, I'm far more likely to actually retain what I learned. Sit me in front of some sort of slide presentation, a text, a droning video.. I'll most likely be more engaged counting the dots on the ceiling and remember nothing. This is important to me because I also have a young son with ADHD, and I do everything I can to help him avoid or get through the pitfalls I had growing up (and still do in a lot of cases), as well as helping anyone that instruct him understand the way he learns things.

      Next ,new topic, same 2 or 3 problems , class dismissed
      And suddenly there's this surprise test that was set up in a unique way
      Firstly the questions were worded to have the Guinness record for the most confusing ones ever
      Secondly it was ensured that those questions are nowhere to be found, not in math books , not on the internet
      And the catch was you had infinite attempts so u could make multiple copies of the question paper and solve it over a week at home , school toilet whatever , and in that you could submit and the marks would get to privately

    AMAZING TALK.
    I'll share my experience related to this.
    I personally don't like memorizing, I can't memorize well, and I really hate activities that needs memorizing. In order for me to learn, I need to understand why or how and so.
    Now for starters I'm a really lazy person that does things like few hours away from deadlines but at the same time I didn't want to fail school. So I was willing to sacrifice my whole 11th grade, ready to fail and repeat for me to know what's the most effective study method for me just enough that I could get a passing grade. And yes I did succeed in finding the effective study method for me, and had really good grades, rank 2 in our class.
    On 12th grade, covid was in our country, and classes were taught online and long story short, yep online classes are not for me. I was not taking my 12th grade seriously compared to the previous years just enough to pass and have received the lowest grade that I had in my life which was 79 on a major subject. (100 is the highest and 75 is the min. passing). I still passed but I didn't graduate as an honor student and since I had a line of 7, it was hard for me to have a scholarship.
    After 12th grade, I didn't continue to college since I knew online classes aren't really for me. After a school year, face to face classes is back, I now enrolled to a local public college and had a full-time job (8 hours). Its hard because I had classes everyday even Saturday and Sundays and had 4 hours sleep or less, and I sometimes end up oversleeping.
    During exams I only study (with that effective study method of mine) for an hour or less and sometimes I just study when I arrive in the classroom (sometimes the instructor is late, thank God) with the mindset of not being pressured and scared to fail and repeat the subject. I end up having good scores and some exams I was the top scorer.
    First semester is done and for now my grades are 1.00 as the highest and 1.50 as the lowest, and tbh there's still 4 subjects that hasn't given grades maybe I'll get a 2.00+ who knows. (1.00 as the highest grade, 5.00 as the lowest, 3.00 is the passing I think except for major subs idk).
    Listening to this talk I now understand why I fail in my language learning and when I tried to learn the guitar. I was both in a hurry to learn them, both scared and dissapointed of failure. Thinking back, when I was learning Japanese and I couldn't write あ I gave up. And yep it was the most stupidest thing since that's the first letter/symbol and I gave up after an hour or so not being able to write it. And in guitar, my sister was always mocking me of how I play so I was desperate to learn fast which I also gave up after some time.
    I even saw some people learn by making the lessons as a song (personally) or some really made a game or video game out of it (on the internet).
    This is really an amazing talk, gave me some insights, and made me realize things, thank you so much!

    This makes so much sense to me because i'm an artist and i find that if i sit there concerned about my work and it's quality and if people think it will be good or if i think it will be good, my work suffers and i can't even do it. But if i just give myself chances to fail, chances to make bad drawings, chances to learn from where i went wrong, my work improves dramatically.

    The problem with school is that it doesn’t encourage you to try again or to keep doing it till you get it right. What school ends up being is you either get it right or you don’t and usually your left with a grade your not happy with and can’t go back to fix. Schools need to stop expecting “perfection” from students as they are the ones trying to learn and do better, not master the material in one go.

    The video is a TEDx talk by Mark Rober titled "The Super Mario Effect - Tricking Your Brain into Learning More". The key idea of the talk is the concept of the "Super Mario Effect", which Rober defines as focusing on the end goal (the princess) and not the failures (the pits) to stick with a task and learn more. He argues that by framing challenges in this way, we can trick our brains into learning more and achieving more success.
    Here is a summary of the video with timestamps:
    00:00 - Introduction and the Coding Challenge: Mark Rober starts by talking about a coding challenge he set up for his KRplus followers, where they had to navigate a car through a maze using code blocks. He reveals that he had two versions of the challenge, one where participants lost points for unsuccessful attempts and one where they didn't.
    04:00 - The Results and the Super Mario Effect: Rober shares the results of the challenge, showing that participants who weren't penalized for failure had a higher success rate. He introduces the concept of the "Super Mario Effect", drawing a parallel to how players approach video games like Super Mario Bros, focusing on the end goal and not the failures.
    08:00 - Personal Experiences and the Dartboard Project: Rober shares personal experiences where the Super Mario Effect led to more success and learning. He talks about a three-year project where he built a dartboard that could move to catch a bullseye every time, comparing the process to playing Super Mario Bros.
    14:00 - Reframing Learning and Science: Rober discusses how reframing the learning process can lead to more natural learning. He shares examples from his science KRplus channel where he tricks viewers into learning science through cool and interesting projects.
    18:00 - Conclusion and Final Thoughts: Rober concludes the talk by emphasizing the importance of reframing life's challenges like video games. He encourages the audience to focus on the end goal and not be afraid of failure, as this can lead to more learning and success.

    One thing to add: When the game is beat, and the Princess is saved, although satisfying to a degree, it was the gameplay during the game, that was the most interesting part. It turns out its the journey that takes you to the goal that is worthwhile, not necessarily reaching the goal itself.
