Human Curiosity and Self-Learning

Last updated Unknown Edit Source

Humans are curious, this pushes energy to learning, and knowledge accrual. Examine this self motivating style with conventional methods of instruction (classroom and workplace). In these settings, a top-down verbal synopsis is rendered, with the misguided intent of educating the “lower.” Which is a mentality of being the most enlightened and thwarting intellectual challenges.

In a classroom, this leads to unenthused students, and reduced retention. Instead, the teacher should simply be nurturing enthusiasm and guiding pain-points.

Managers have a similar responsibility, but routinely seek control of all aspects, which chokes out motivation and innovation. Then this places all burden onto “the one” producing inefficiency and burnout.

💭 Think about you might apply this to your career as a teacher/educator. Question convention, for the grass may be greener on the other side.
