Hello felicia0923

Some of it relates to what students see as being personal relevance in their every day life and future significance of what they need to know.

It also depends on level of understanding.

If a student does not really grasp the meaning of concepts they will simply stop learning a particular concept / subject until they are extremely disengaged.

Also really truth be told some teachers simply don't know how students learn. They use their own preferred learning style and are simply unable to adapt a lesson to suit a wide range of learning styles, interests, personal relevance and future significance in the lives of students who are fortunate enough to be under their care for a short duration in time.
There are a number of Forums here at Psych Central that you are free to browse around. Consider this like your personal Library. Nobody knows what you are looking at really. I could be busy reading the novel based on the Disney Film Frozen right now - paging through the Chapter on Elsa the Snow Queen and how she finally decided to Let It Go - and you wouldn’t know.

So don’t worry about what Books your Read. You are free to Browse all you like. If you feel like it, you are free to enter a Chapter in a Book in this Library that is available to you. Research has shown that those who choose to actively Write; gain more from their experience in online forums. If you write a Chapter that contributes towards our Magnificent Library, please anticipate a response. And in doing so you unconsciously help others Browse our Special Library too and provide members unknown Knowledge that we are not alone. There are so many just like us. We all have a different Chapter to write. Or a different Book to Read. We all help keep this Library of Knowledge alive. Thank you for being a part of this.
