We all have that one thing that motivates us to do better in all our endeavors. Self determination means the ability for a person to understand one-self and make decisions without any external influence. Self determination also gives the learner a moral of what he/she is aiming for. I believe without self determination learning will be difficult. Everyone needs to understand their passion and what motivates them to keep moving everyday. Learning can be difficult is the learner does not have intrest in what he/she is going for, I believe there must be an inner motivation on what you want to achieve with what you are aiming to learn if not learning can be difficult. People who love reading books do not just read books but because they seek for more knowledge and understanding.
Learning can be hard if the learner has no intrest in that particularly phenomenon he/she is learning. Self discovery must take place first, you must look into yourself if this thing am aiming to learning is what I really want or not if it is truely what a person has passion for then self determination will make the person engage more In even though the learning might involve physical streneous activities, the person won’t be moved because he/she has determined in his mind to learn it.
Motivation can birth self-determination, for example a child in an first grade school is motivated that who ever learns to recite A-Z or 1- 100 will go home with some goodies and jollies, all this kids will want to try their best to meet up with the standard because they have determined in in their mind after being motivated by the teacher to read, Which they will have big intrest in learning it. Same also applies to the adults. An adult can be motivated through intrisic or extrinsic motivation. Intrisic meaning inner motivation while extrinsic meaning external motivation. An adult can also be motivated through achievements. All this birth self determination. When there is self determination learning anything will be made easy because you will really want to have it.
Furthermore in reading learning, learning can be difficult if the sender of knowledge is not explanatory or revealing enough, in the sense that if there is no good foundational knowledge or understanding about what you are reading therefore learning can be difficult. We must not see learning as just a phenomenon we can phaset on anytime without having knowledge on what you are trying to learn. Reading can be easier when there is a passion or self determination for what you are aiming to learn.
Self determination is the key to unlocking achievements, before you seek for a knowledge by reading you must first see to what you want to read if it is what I have passion for if it is what I really want to know about is the knowledge on this worth it, when you see through all this then you know for yourself what no external influence or distraction can make learning hard for you.
With self determination learning is easy.
