Session Synopsis:
All You Need Is Love of Learning
What is the definition of “love”?
How does your perception and practice of “love” influence your learning curve in any subject?
Is the absence of a “love of learning” the primary reason for students’ low performance in school?
Can a “love of learning” be cultivated, or is it an inherent strength that some possess while others do not?
In this talk, the speaker will provide a concise definition of “love” as a character strength and explore its impact on individuals’ attitudes toward learning and the positive dynamics within the classroom. Ultimately, the speaker will seek to establish a connection between the strengths of love and the love of learning, demonstrating how this relationship can foster a positive learning environment.
