Understanding the process of learning

The process of learning

One can argue that it is not necessary to want to learn in order to learn. And this would certainly be true in some cases of learning. But one thing seems to be accepted by many authors: It is easier to learn if you are interested. Fernando Kuo writes: "The most important guideline for learning is to have interest in the subject you are learning. Whether it's pen spinning or something else, you'll find that it's a lot easier to learn something that you find interesting."

It is interest that can be a motivation force in learning.
