Learning to be and because of fear. This pathological motivation, especially as the high level of fear reduces the learning outcomes; especially with respect to the complex and new situations. But the study of simple material and the fear can help. Apparently, therefore, so long existed for the school, where instruction was based on fear.

The process of teaching is related to the level of claims. This is a subjective assessment of the possibilities in relation to the achievements. Useful if the level exceeds the level of aspiration has been achieved, but only slightly. In other words, the process of teaching important relationship between what you have achieved, so what do you think you can achieve, and that which would like to achieve.

The most mature and useful for the development of a cognitive motivation to learn. In

this case, we are learning for knowledge acquisition. Discovering new concepts,

assimilation of information, the acquisition of skills is our reward. Knowledge becomes an end in itself, allowing us to "take over the world." But here we are free from coercion, a sense of responsibility, the need to prove something to yourself or someone

else ...

And here we again sends greetings to "our old friend", from which, as it turns out, so much depends in our lives: our sense of self-worth. We can learn with joy, passion and energy, reaching the highest results, but we can and under the lash, in fear, sometimes in order to create an impression and to fulfill the role of a mature and independent person.

EXAMPLES

O woman of fifty, with higher professional qualifications, does not cease to learn. It is usually the oldest in courses and seminars. She believes that her knowledge is still insufficient to the complete dedication and willingness to work in the specialty. She believes that there should continue to learn.

E young graduate psychology department is taken for any job, considering his knowledge not only sufficient but also optimal for all types and levels of professional activity. He believes that has already learned everything.

Man with two diplomas, working for one of two specialties received is recorded on the foreign language courses, while learning to manage the yacht. Subsequently, he plans to master radiodelo. He brings the joy of learning and gives satisfaction, it - his way of life.

And what do you think about this? Which of the examples you closer? And what do you consider ideal? What model of teaching acting in your own family? And what would you like to implement in their own - a married family?

"People who once gotten a taste of what they have achieved their own and only their own efforts, are becoming more consistent form themselves, finding in it a source of self-esteem and joy." So wrote one of the psychologists.

In our socio-cultural contexts we go more often than students in the school

class, student groups and at different rates, ie, being in a formal group. The relationship between attention to learning and maintaining relationships with peers

uneven. You know how many of your classmates on average

school went to class just to meet with friends. Conversely,

many found themselves in trouble in school because of relationships with peers. Complex role

student: it covers the intra-relationships and interactions in a group set up to obtain the knowledge and skills (do not forget about education, although

In this lesson, this side we have deliberately ignored).

Students punished and encourage each other, moreover - each other learn. Sometimes the schools are trying to use the influence of school groups to achieve certain goals. For example, participation in sports, excursions and other activities not related to learning, is dependent on the school ratings.

Sometimes the intervention and the use of group interaction facilitate comparison of students and the emergence of rivalry between them.

Fortunately, experts in the field of pedagogy found detrimental effects of intra-group competition, bringing a lot of problems.

Could you talk with several people about their experiences in this area? Ask them if they won, competing in their studies, or suffered defeat? As

impact on their lives? Whether the increased level of assignments as a result of rivalry, and if so, in connection with what - the influence of fear or a more complete disclosure of internal reserves?

They love these people to compete now? Do they feel when they compare with others? The only useful form of competition - a competition with itself - yesterday!
