Why We Need To Pay Attention To Young Introverts
Cain also defines introverts as, “those who have a preference for a quiet, more minimally stimulating environment. Introverts tend to enjoy quiet concentration, listen more than they talk, and think before they speak, and have a more prudent and cautious approach to risk. Introverts think more, are less reckless and focus on what matters—relationships and meaningful work.”
The definition of shy is the following: being reserved, showing nervousness, or timidity in the company of other people. Introverts do not fit the definition of shy.
Given the role of education and its close connection to entrepreneurship and the corporate world, schools often give praise and attention to extroverts. Most education systems still encourage quiet children to participate more in class through cooperative engagement.
Although learning how to work together is an essential skill, it can’t justify forcing youth to work in ways that are detrimental to their learning style. Forcing students to work in ways they find overwhelming can inhibit personal growth, development, and can also lead to many missed opportunities and potential innovations.
Teacher training is similar to influential groupthink. As a society, we tend to solely focus on design thinking, group work, meetings, and project collaboration. As the boardroom is parallel to classroom design, it can unfair.
We can make this change through awareness, shifting our mindset, and moving away from biased assumptions.
