The Importance Of Self-Attivity And Heritability And The Desire For Education

learning but also the desire for education throughout life (Siribaddana 2012). For example, when we are learning certain subjects and we feel good in learning it, we tend to be able to concentrate on it better. In contrast, if we dislike learning it, we tend to not paying attention to it while learning which cause us to be not able to learn effectively. A person’s interest in learning may alter the learning capacity too as we will keen to acquire certain knowledge without being forced or asked by anyone if we are interested to it. Personal interest is able to help bolstering engagement and long-term learning (Hidi and Renninger 2006). A learner who has more interest in learning may have a better extent and quality of information processing (Schraw and Lehman 2009).

Fourthly, heritability plays a bigger role in determining our IQ

Low self-esteem is being seen as a barrier to participating in learning while high self-esteem helps us to be able to progress in our learning (Kathryn James and Christine Nightingale 2005) (13). Decades of research support the notion that believing in your ability to do something enhances your ability to do it. It is important for us to be confident in learning as it will help increasing our learning capacity. Our performance is normally influenced by our confidence. Research shows that self-efficacy influences academic motivation, learning and achievement (Briggs 2014). People who are confident are motivated to engage in more experiences. Feeling confident helps us to do well in all aspects of their life, both now and into the future (Kids Matter 2012). Equally, learners with positive self-esteem are more likely to ask for help and support when they face any difficulties while learning. Positive self-esteem and confidence can be seen as a wider benefit to learning as when we gain confidence in learning, it flows into other aspects of our lives (James and Nightingale
