Becoming Enthusiastic About Learning for the First Time as a Child

In this study, a qualitative method of research was used to study how students experience becoming enthusiastic about the learning process for the first time as a child. The objective of the study was to explicate the student’s perspective and articulate it as a coherent structural whole. Six students (ages 17-22 years) provided descriptions of becoming enthusiastic about education for the first time as a child that were analyzed using a phenomenological style of analysis. The focus of the study was the qualitative significance of becoming enthusiastic about learning as lived by the students themselves. The results were framed within the context of a formal student–educator pedagogical encounter in particular.
