In my ongoing quest to get better at life by Being a learner, I have to consciously recognise where Allies and enemies of learning are working for or against me.
An Ally of learning An Enemy of learning is a behaviour or situation which works against my ability to learn. An Enemy of learning is obviously the opposite.
In a learning situation, both Allies and enemies of learning are at play and the situation may change over time. For example, when I become tired (a Physiological enemy of learning), my learning decreases.
Broadly speaking, Allies and enemies of learning, can be categorised as:
- Environmental allies and enemies of learning
- Linguistic allies and enemies of learning
- Emotional allies and enemies of learning
- Physiological allies and enemies of learning
