Explanation:
I have observed that children are naturally inquisitive. However, when they have got into the primary school 'system', they seem to lose this natural curiosity. They want to learn, but for other reasons. One such obvious reason would be good marks. Another may be parental pressure. These are external reasons.
By the time students come to college, this natural curiosity seems to be in a 'sleep mode'. That is what I have observed in my students in Malaysia. How can we help to re-awake the natural curiosity of our students? I think that this curiosity will drive them to search energetically and responsibly for information, thus helping them to be an independent learner.
I would like to hear from RG friends from other countries. Perhaps schooling is just as competitive in your countries (if not more so). I look forward to hear your views.
