Fig.1. How you learn!
I set out with the idea of doing nothing more than making a face out of time, effort and motivation.
Then 28 months of the MAODE kicked in, as well as experience. How we learn is a rather complex affair. The influencing factors given above carry different weightings and change through time as events play out.
(This should be interactive so that you can adjust the size of each factor to suit your current circumstance, or circumstances you recall from past experience, at school say ... or that you hope for in the future. With this in mind I'll give the above a second shot in Bubbl.us)
Do we define 'success' as individual happiness or achievement through the education process and beyond?
SH1T happens.
To study learning we rock and roll between simplification and complication, in an effort to understand we create models, but the reality is always as messy as the individual, their mind and circumstances, when and where they were born and so on.
An uncle takes the kids to a show, and one of them take as shine to performance.
A child breaks an arm and goes to hospital and takes an interest in working in a hospital.
A teacher makes and illustrates and interesting point about landforms and calls one an isthmus and another a peninsula and the idea of naming forms and understanding how they take place takes root.
Then along comes World War 1, or you are hit by a bus and hospitalized or fall in love
And in all of this, some of us to respond to many of these external stimuli while other of us take a focus and lasting interested, whether as a hobby or career.
If you are studying education or learning is there research on these factors, surveys that give weightings and importance to the different factors, or is everything a subset of something else?

A work in progress!
I rather like the idea of trying to create the kinds of infographics produced by David Mcandless illustrated in 'Information is Beautiful'.
Please suggest factors and weightings!
