Roger Wheller has B.Sc. and B.A. degrees in physics and psychology from the University of New South Wales.
He has worked in education and psychology for most of his life – in curriculum and program design at NSW Department of Technical and Further Education (TAFE), the Department of Vietnam Veterans and the Queensland University of Technology.
He’s interested in what makes learning possible and what’s the best way to learn. And whether some types of learning instruction are better than others. Naturally enough, this has led him to investigating the mysteries of the mind.
It will come as no surprise the mind has not evolved to master learning in the workplace, in the classroom or on the sporting field.
Over the eons, while evolution crafted the human mind it had more pressing things to think about. Survival for starters. But evolution has bequeathed us a versatile all-purpose mind that can adapt and learn an endless array of skills.
Now this poses a problem. If we don’t know the architecture of our minds and if we don’t know how it works we can’t devise a learning program to match its capabilities. Unfortunately past practice has been largely to ignore this obvious truism.
As the evidence comes in, traditional ways of learning, bit by bit, have been turned on their head. Roger spends most of his waking hours researching and documenting this ever evolving revolution.
His ebooks are for players, coaches and enthusiasts who are interested in how to dramatically improve your game in such sports as cricket, tennis and table tennis and golf.
