Introduction
Curious means asking questions, searching for and eager for knowledge. Research Has shown curiosity to be associated with high positive emotions, lower anxiety levels, more satisfaction with life, and great psychological well-being. That is why i’m feeling curious.
Intellectual people are always curious persons. For example, Thomas Edison, Leonardo da Vinci, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman are all curious characters. Richard Feynman was mainly known for his adventures, which came from his curiosity. Curiosity is not only crucial for those with high IQs. Successful students and successful, educated people often display a good measure of intellectual curiosity, and i’m feeling curious.
The cat and other pets were curious about its surroundings. They were interested to find out who won the match. I am curious to know more about her. Curious makes your mind active. Curious people always ask questions and search for their answers. Intellectual, curious people are genuinely interested in and love learning, not about anything but various subjects such as math, science, and languages. Or history. And I’m feeling curious about our issues.
There are four stages of curiosity, from procedural knowledge to self-knowledge.
Stage1: Process, student mindset me what to do
Stage2: Content, student mindset- This is interesting, and I would like to learn more
Stage3; Transfer
Stage4; Self
Process: This is marked as the first level of curiosity and engagement where students are concerned about their procedural knowledge. This includes the teacher’s expectations, role, interaction, and student engagement. This is the typical learner or beginner stage, where they try to make sense of a given task or activity. This is the learning stage for students.
Content: Next comes the content stage of curiosity and engagement. This stage has enormous content at its core. Talking about the academic environment, the topic for this could be study, research, conversation, or other related opportunities. Students are no longer compelled enough towards the more significant ideas of content obscured by instructions or activity design or confusing interaction between the learner and content to be less efficient, neat, and more direct and authentic.
Transfer: At this stage of curiosity and engagement, students begin to seamlessly connect with knowledge, assimilating things from what they are learning into what they already know. They usually transfer what they know from supported situations into new contexts. At this stage, students are tempted towards scoring guides that promote creativity, flexible rubrics, open-ended learning models, and self-directed learning strategies.
Self: At this fourth stage of curiosity and engagement, students tend to move past more—those transfer to make sense of changes around them. As a result of learning, they also tend to move more towards the possible opportunities in themselves. At this stage, students ask different questions, imagine learning pathways that are not suggested, and constantly seek to reconcile what they do and do not work. At this stage, students tend to move towards dynamic tools, exemplary models, strategic collaboration, and cognitive and emotional learning space.
Benefits of curiosity
Curiosity has been linked with psychological, emotional, social, and even health benefits for children and adults alike. There are some benefits, which are given below.
One # Survive in life: Curiosity, the urge to explore and seek novelty, helps us remain vigilant and gain knowledge about our constantly changing environment, which may be why our brains evolved to release dopamine and feel-good chemicals when we encounter new things.
Two #Curious people and happiness: Research has shown curiosity to be associated with higher positive emotions, lower anxiety levels, more satisfaction with life, and greater psychological well-being. Of course, it may be, at least mainly, that people who are already happier tend to be curious, but since novelty makes us suitable, it goes the other direction well.
Three # Curiosity and achievements: Studies reveal that curiosity leads to more enjoyment and participation in schools and higher academic achievements. Curious people are struggling for high ambitions, and at last, they achieve their lofty ambitions.
Four # Curiosity and sympathy: When we are curious about others and talk to people outside our unusual social circle, we better understand those with lives, experiences, and World views different than our own. People engage with each other due to curiosity and sympathy created among engaged people.
Five # Curiosity and relationship: When we ask questions with strangers or anyone. It creates good relationships among people. Curiosity also plays a vital role in developing good relations in our social and professional life.
Six # Curiosity and health: Research suggests that when doctors are genuinely curious about their patient’s perspectives, both doctors and patients report less anger and frustration and make better decisions, ultimately increasing the effectiveness of treatment.
Seven #Curiosity and disappointment: Curious people can never be disappointed because they struggle for their whole life. They always think of something different. I’d like to know the benefits of the topic.
Conclusion
Book reading produces curious people. Curious people are scarce in this World because book reading is going down rapidly. Even United States people do not like book reading. This percentage is almost 80%. The curious people will be finish in the coming World because of the need for more interaction between people with books. We should arrange seminars to promote book reading at the college and university levels. These seminars will give us good feedback, and I’m curious about different fields of life.
