Hello! Hi! Salut! Hola! Salve! Oi! Merhaba! Chao ban! Ongi Etorri!  (about Learning)
German version

FunPed : Learning is actually fun!  Unless,

• the natural childlike curiosity behaviour was constantly stopped or even punished;
• one was often criticized or laughed at after failures;
• success was not appreciated, since it was regarded as a matter of course;
• one was continuously under- or overloaded;
• one always understood learning as a laborious effort for the sake of teachers;
• one had to learn too much, regarded as uninteresting or completely useless;
• one would like - unconsciously or consciously - , - by means of refusal or "acting the stupid" - for some reason or other (e.g. low self-confidence, experienced offenses; act of defiance or "revenge") to reach a goal (e.g. causing other persons’ attention or admiration or  seeing the assumed refusal confirmed);
• one is at present physically or mentally exhausted;
• one has at present simply different interests/ hobbies;
• one is completely content and lucky with what one can do and knows already.

For learning means knowing more afterwards than before (e.g. that the earth turns around its own axis and around the sun) or being able to do something you were not able to do before (e.g. a dive from the 5 or 10 m board).

And learning is basically fun! And if one has become old and independent enough, there are a lot of possibilities in and outside of school to extend one’s skills and knowledge, in order to improve one’s professional and financial chances, be it, in order to be able to help others, be it, in order to simply be more content oneself.

Here pages are being developed concerning foreign languages, mathematics, German; economics and politics, particularly for the area of vocational schools. Suggestions are very welcome. Please write them into the guest book or to woko50@hotmail.com. Thanks!
