作者在《幸福的方法》一书中提出了两种学习动机模式,溺水模式与性爱模式。溺水模式有从痛苦中解脱的强烈愿望。而性爱模式,让学习本身成为一件快乐的事情。让学生完全沉浸于学习的快乐中,拥有心流体验。
In the book The Way to Happiness, it is mentioned that there are two types of modes of learning. First is the drowning-in-the-water mode, in which the learner is struggling in the water and desperately want to escape from the affiliating situation. And the other is sex mode in which the learners enjoy learning so much and sometimes they achieve incredible pleasure of learning like orgasms in sex.
而拥有清晰的目标是心流体验的前提。拥有心流体验的学生往往拥有强烈的求知欲望,以及非常清晰的学习目标。出现心流体验的另一个条件是,所进行的学习任务不能难度太大,也不能难度太低,难度太大,而技能不足时我们会感到焦虑,相反如果技能高,而任务太简单时,我们会感到乏味,只有当难度和技能匹配时,性能体验才有可能出现。
However, in order to achieve this very happy moment, we need to have a very clear goal first. Every student who have experienced such extremely happy moments, have a very strong desire to learn. And the knowledge they are learning should be neither too hard nor too easy for them. If it's too hard, it becomes very challenging, which always makes them frustrated. If if it is too easy, They would feel bored and won't have the feeling of fulfillment at all. So only when the difficulty matches our ability, this special happy moment will occur.
最佳的教育应该教会学生在物质领域和精神领域同时成长。教育者,作为帮助孩子追寻自身价值和获得心灵体验的人,应该培养孩子求知的热情,把学习转变成一种迷人而美好的旅程,贯穿于整个生命对幸福的追求之中。
The best educators should be those who can help the students to learn or to progress both mentally and academically. It is the responsibility of educators to help the students to fulfill their highest potential and achieve this happy moments in learning by igniting their passion for learning for their whole lives and by making the learning journey as enjoyable as possible.
制定学习计划,无论你是15岁或是115岁,无论你是风光无限还是正在艰难奋斗,都可以为自己制定一套学习计划,学习计划可以包括以下两个方面,个人成长和专业成长。在每一类学习中用心去找寻快乐和意义,要把你的计划规律化,习惯化。
It is important to make a plausible plan for learning, no matter how old you are, no matter you are 15 or 150, no matter you are enjoying the life or not. The plan should consists of two parts, one for your personal growth and the other part for learning the knowledge you need in certain fields. Then find the meaning and enjoy your learning. But the most significant is to carry out the plan regularly and form the habit of learning!
