Rethinking Learning in the Information Age : Through an Analysis of the Novel Where the Crawdads Sing

This essay focuses on the topic of learning, examining it from two perspectives: the learning process of the main character Kya in the novel Where the Crawdads Sing, and the learning experiences of the young generation growing up in the information age. The essay has explored the elements of grit (passion and persistence), boredom, self-complexity, learning outcomes, and the learning environment through Kya's learning journey, drawing insights from psychological research and educational theories in the first section of the essay. Additionally, the essay analyzes the significant changes in the learning environment brought about by the shift from a static information age to the dynamic era of technology. It delves into the learning challenges and obstacles faced by the young generation, primarily drawing from Dr. Jean Marie Twenge's research on this demographic. In the conclusion, a potential solution is proposed by applying Kya's learning spirit to address the contemporary learning issues faced by these young digital natives.
