Since evolution to now, human beings have evolved by spending 99.9% of their time close to nature. Our inspirations and rudimentary technological adaptation have been in concurrence with nature. Intentionally being in nature promotes Attention Restoration among other beneficial factors, where the brain’s ability to absorb relevant information significantly increases while simultaneously getting relaxed. In the last two centuries, there has been a severe imbalance in our connection with nature. It is essential and imperative that we reconnect with nature to develop the Hybrid Mind.
When learning occurs, there needs to be an effective mechanism to optimally display the learning process. Project-based learning is that answer as it shows the experiential journey of learning and what outcomes one can derive from it. It essentially forms a litmus test to understand the relationship between interest and effort as an individual or a group.
