I’d like to start this post by sharing a story of how I overcame the odds to learn and become proficient in a new skill. Thinking back to when I first learned to paint, it was clear to me that I was a behaviorist, and I categorized the parts of my painting that I needed to focus on and focused on reinforcing the flaws in them. Whenever I finished a period of study, I would give positive feedback to make sure that my learning theory was really effective, so that I could make adjustments if I didn’t fit into a certain training style. At the beginning of my learning process, I was able to improve rapidly, but soon I realized that I was no longer progressing matter what methods I used. I knew I had reached the inevitable bottleneck in the learning no process, which is the most problematic issue for every learner. The process of trying to break through this problem is often boring and tedious. I believe that the motivational strategies we use must be aligned with the motivational needs of the learner, whether by changing the learning method or by reducing the learner’s anxiety. This study habit not only let me learn to draw systematically, but also laid the foundation for my future study.
As mentioned in the article, learning is hard because it is a process that constantly overturns our existing perceptions, in which we constantly receive new information and change our understanding and perceptions of things, and one’s perceptions are often difficult to change, so we need to put in extra effort to concentrate during the process of learning. However, if we can apply our learning methods according to our different characteristics, we can often solve the challenges successfully.
