01. Assumptions we naturally make

In the next few slides, you will see some pictures that you need to identify "instantaneously". Once you see the picture, please answer the succeeding question

Who is this?

What does Pak Bima about to do?

At the count of three, please read this aloud

we "naturally" make assumptions

Please read aloud what you see

The brain's unconscious mechanism causes us to make errors. Our pre-disposition and natural mental shortcuts influence how we see, think, and react

we "naturally" make assumptions

What really happens

The brain can process 74 GB of information in a day = 11 billion bytes of information in a second

In an article published by

Journal of Experience (2021)

"Cognitive bias is a short circuit within the brain that results in erroneous choices, behaviors and judgments due to the use of a limited number of information to produce a first cognitive response"

Martorano, LA. (2021). "Cognitive biases: the mental shortcuts that influence our choices". Journal of Experiences

cognitive biases which affect how we process information

03. Scientific Thinking for All: A countermeasure skill

means knowing that any idea should be tested. It means learning to compare what you think [theory] with what actually happens [ evidence], and adjusting based on what you discover from the difference. - adapted from Improvement Kata, University of Michigan

A COUNTERMEASURE TO OUR NATURAL BIAS:SCIENTIFIC THINKING

SCIENTIFIC THINKING IS FOR EVERYONE, regardless of a person's age or profession. It is a widely-acceptable and essential "meta-skill". It is a universal way of thinking how to solve a problem or to reach a goal.
Scientific method doesn't translate so well in everyday living
Steps of Scientific method in a nutshell:a fairly strict routine for studying phenomena

Scientific thinking IS NOT "scientific method"

Born?

Scientific Thinking

We do not have scientific thinking by default. As a matter of fact, we develop scientific thinking through "practice" that is transformed into a "habit"

04. Improvement Kata Pattern: Strategy to Improve Scientific Thinking

[adapted from Mike Rother's The Toyota Kata Practice Guide. 2017]

-step model to improve scientific thinking

The Improvement Kata models a pattern of practical, everyday scientific thinking.

The Improvement Kata Pattern by Mike Rother

The path is not predictable. One doesn't have to reach the overall challenge right away. You experiment to go the next goal

A Few Key Points

The path is not predictable. One doesn't have to reach the overall challenge right away. You experiment to go the next goal

Now let's simulate the 4-Steps of the Improvement Kata Pattern

The path is not predictable. One doesn't have to reach the overall challenge right away. You experiment to go the next goal

For this exercise, we will use markers and a white blank paper. Main Challenge: For 60 seconds, list down 50 excuses for being late in submitting your TERM grades to Pak Justin/Ed

Select your own timekeeper

Select a Data Recorder

TWO THINGS TO DO NEXT

For 60 seconds, list down 50 excuses for being late in submitting your TERM grades to Pak Justin/Ed

STEP 1: Understanding the Challenge

What was your team's last wedding excuse word count?
What was your team's last baseline froot loop count?

STEP 2: Grasp the Current Condition

How many excuses this time does your group want to list?

STEP 3: Establish your Next Target Condition

Try something, see what happens, then adjust based on what you learned

STEP 4: Conduct Experiments to Get There

Challenge Plan and Reflection Record

Resources

Express your biggest takeaway from our session in a 1. One statement tagline

Scientific thinking is not "innate" It is a meta-skill that everybody can learn through practice

One "translatable" strategy is through "improvement kata" which is a behavior routine

To "combat" these biases, we apply "Scientific thinking"

We naturally have "cognitive biases" due to mental shortcuts by our brain
