Psychological Challenges in Education - Forgetting: Within 24 hours of learning something new, individuals can lose up to 70% of the information if it is not reviewed [4] - Low Motivation: A survey in a class of 28 students revealed that approximately 93% (26/28) were extrinsically motivated, while only about 7% (2/28) were intrinsically motivated [10] - Short Attention Spans: The average learner can only focus for about 10 to 15 minutes before their mind naturally wanders [13] - One-Size-Fits-All Teaching: Education often focuses primarily on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences, potentially sidelining students with strengths in other areas [18] - Learning Difficulties: Conditions like dyslexia, ADHD, and autism are different ways of processing information, not indicators of low intelligence [21] Solutions and Strategies - Spacing Effect: Reviewing lessons regularly at timely intervals (a day later, a week later, a month later, and so on) helps reinforce learning and combat forgetting [6] - Boosting Intrinsic Motivation: Varying the teaching method can boost intrinsic motivation, making learning more engaging and personally meaningful [10][11] - Pomodoro Effect: Breaking information into smaller parts and varying the teaching method can help maintain focus and re-engage the brain [16] - Diversifying Learning Styles: Offering diverse project options that cater to different learning styles can enhance engagement and investment in learning [20] - Addressing Learning Difficulties: Utilizing tools like audio books, text-to-speech software, and visualized schedules can support students with dyslexia, ADHD, and autism [22][23]
