We all recall those days of chalky boards and flying dusters (at least for folks my age). These days in schools we aim to engage our pupils in the ABC.
A is affective, where we do things to engage them in that particular domain. I am a firm believer that the reason "we do what we do when we know what we know" is because the affective domain is not engaged.
Perhaps one of the best examples is in the health arena. We all KNOW that it is good to exercise for at least 30 minutes three times a week; but we do not DO it because we are not MOVED to act in a particular manner that inspires us to take action.
Henceforth, a child (adults alike) may be effective in the intellectual domain but if s/he is experiencing certain emotional drawbacks s/he is not likely to perform well. Of course one can argue that there are individuals who leverage on such negative emotional events to spur them on, as in Brookfield (1987).
We feel that once the affective domain is engaged, then the next domains to work on would be Behaviorial and Cognitive.
The Chinese proverb: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."
This is where things get interesting. Because this is where the systemic benefits happen due to the multiplier effect.
We could explain it this way; when we are emotionally engaged, feel good about learning we tend to take action in learning which then leads to us knowing more in depth about a particular subject. And because we now know more we are more confident to share and that lead to even more learning.
The effect is just phenomenal.
Now, if we can add the "D" to the engagement; it would be Definitive Purpose. As long as there is Definitive Purpose, one would find that it begins to find learning meaningful and relevant.
Perhaps to end off this blog, to share a quote from Maya Angelou:
"I've learnt that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
Your friend,

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I didn't know about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started take up real income.
It gets down to choose a proper companion who uses your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, and shares the profit with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to tell the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:
