✨ What Keeps Us Learning Throughout Life?
⇒ On the one hand, research shows that personal fulfillment and a sense of control are strong motivators, especially for adults over 45, who often learn to stay mentally sharp and define their path (Source).
⇒ On the other hand, educators highlight that intrinsic motivation, the joy of learning itself, is key to retaining knowledge and applying it across life contexts (Source).
So, what does this mean for lifelong learning?
