Example text
Given the constructive nature of learning, having a sense of self—an awareness of personal needs, interests, and abilities—is fundamental to all learning. It is this sense of self that serves as the primary filter of experience, enabling the mind to focus on those issues and events perceived as relevant and to ignore those perceived as irrelevant. Self is the mind’s gatekeeper. The roots of self go deep into our evolutionary past. 32 However, self as we use it here in the context of learning from museums is a highly developed and uniquely adaptive human construct.
