Boredom: That Which Shall Not Be Named
Weinerman, Jason; Kenner, Cari
Journal of Developmental Education, v40 n1 p18-23 Fall 2016
Boredom carries a significant weight: It is not often spoken within the academic environment. However, by ignoring how developmental and first-year students experience boredom, instructors are avoiding a topic that most students will encounter. We present information on the common causes of boredom, ways to detect boredom, and the outcomes of boredom within the academic environment. We conclude with a lesson plan to assist instructors in recognizing the idea of boredom and how students can overcome academic boredom.
