learning to me is experiencing the joy of successfully overcoming the inner resistance and pain associated with having to deal with an unknown subject matter or a new skill and in turn to then rejoice once the initial pain of struggling is receding while gradually being replaced with the new skill or knowledge, giving way to a feeling deep satisfaction, of increased confidence and self-efficacy…
For me, interrelation is one of the key aspects of learning.
It requires various elements (feelings, experiences, stages, participants, environments) and can take on various dimensions due to the individual character of learning (e.g. personal view of the world). Although being a personal and individual process it is also intertwined with collective (together).
The right balance of these numerous factors can transform struggle into achievement (i.e. learning something new or realizing what one already knows).
Learning is so specific for each person that, as teachers, we are never going to see all the students learning the same thing at the same moment in the same way. The learning process depends on a lot of other factors and it doesn’t occur just on the brain. The senses and feelings are also responsible for the learning processes as much as the brain.
