Abstract
Of the total amount of responses obtained in Research Study 1—Levels, 61 % were categorized as tacit general knowledge of the learning process. These tacit responses indicated that the students had understood the questions though they appeared not to have a good conscious understanding of their general knowledge of the learning process in that they were unable to clearly describe it at that time. That is to say, the responses indicated that the open-ended questions had been ringing a bell, however, the responses did not convey a directness in meaning in that general knowledge of the learning process was not expressed clearly.
“The cure for boredom is curiosity.
There is no cure for curiosity.”
