Curiosity is a huge motivator to learn. Students who are
curious are actively seeking out answers to their questions and genuinely want
to learn about whichever topic has caught their interest. The study I was
reading about, which I have linked below, goes into the scientific reasoning on
how exactly curiosity motivates learning. One point the study found was that
when someone is curious about something, their brain goes into a state that
allows them to learn better and retain information. Another point that the study
found was that once someone becomes curious, there is increased activity in
their hippocampus. The hippocampus is the part of the brain that creates
memories and is part of the process related to pleasure. This means that
dopamine can be released and make the learning process pleasurable. So in order
to have the most success in a classroom, a teacher has to find a way to
stimulate their student’s curiosity.
