* healthy [learn drive](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learn_drive) is the basis of good learning
* 健康的学习内驱力基于好的学习
* self-directed learning grounds its efficiency in the [learn drive](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learn_drive)
* 自我导向学习的效率建立在学习内驱力上
* learn drive innate but is trainable

* learn drive is universal
* 学习内驱力是普遍的
* learn drive does not need to decline with age, it can be sustained till the end of a healthy lifespan
* 学习内驱力不随着年龄的增长而衰退，它可以持续到健康的寿命结束
* learn drive can be suppressed
* 学习内驱力可以被抑制的
* established knowledge undermines the learn drive
* 已掌握的知识会降低学习内驱力
* compulsory schooling is usually a suppressor of the [learn drive](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learn_drive)

* one of the main goals of any modern education system should be to help [learn drive](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learn_drive) flourish
* 任何现代教育体系的主要目标之一都应该是帮助[学习内驱力](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learn_drive)蓬勃发展
* best enhancer of the learn drive is rich learning
* 学习内驱力的最佳增强方法是饱满的学习
* [learn drive](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learn_drive) corrections within the optimum [push zone](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Push_zone) can improve learning and its direction
* 在最佳[推动区](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Push_zone)内的学习内驱力修正可以改善学习及其方向
* there is a positive feedback loop: learning feeds interest, interest feeds learning \(see: [Learning history](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learning_history:_school_vs._self-directed_learning)\)
* 这是一个积极的反馈循环：学习产生兴趣，兴趣产生学习（参见：学习历史）
#### 25.1.2 Self-directed learning
#### 自我导向学习
* self-directed learning is efficient due to amplifying the [learn drive](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Learn_drive), operating within the [push zone](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Push_zone), knowledge generalization, knowledge matching, etc.
* 自我导向学习是一种有效的学习方式，这归因于在增强学习内驱力、在推动区内操作、知识概括、知识匹配等
* self-directed learning is best achieved in conditions of freedom \(e.g. in [democratic schools](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Democratic_school), in [homeschooling](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Homeschooling), or in [unschooling](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Unschooling)\)
* 自我导向学习在自由的条件下得到最好的实现（例如在[民主学校](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Democratic_school)、[在家教育](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Homeschooling)或[非学校教育](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Unschooling)中）。
* self-directed learning leads to faster learning and to richer knowledge
* 自我导向学习使学习更快，使知识更丰富
* at societal level, self-learning does not lead to communication breakdown due to convergence of knowledge
* 在社会层面上，自学不会因为知识的趋同而导致沟通中断

* natural creativity cycle helps promote positive thinking and optimistic frame of mind
* 自然创造力周期有助于促进积极思考和乐观心态。
* natural creativity cycle is disrupted by schooling, which severely affects learning
* 学校教育扰乱了自然创造力周期，严重影响了学习。
* creativity and focus stand in opposition. Both are desirable and vital \(see: [ADHD](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/ADHD)\)

* the root neuronal cause of Alzheimer's is excitotoxicity, which comes from excessive cognitive loads on networks with insufficient processing power

* schooling inherently violates the [Fundamental law of learning](https://supermemo.guru/wiki/Fundamental_law_of_learning) through its coercive nature

* for many kids, schooling leads to neural injury, which may be instantly apparent, e.g. in developing depression

* despite all calls for reforms, mainstream schooling in the western world still keeps evolving in the wrong direction: more haste, more stress, greater loads, less coherence, and more neural injury
* 尽管各方都在呼吁改革，但西方世界的主流学校教育仍在朝着错误的方向发展：更加匆忙、压力更大、负担更重、连贯性更低、神经损伤更严重
