Why is it important?
Pure and Objective Thinking; Interest and Desire is important because it helps to generate the language for discussing concepts of students’ interest. These terms were formerly so restricted that tendencies of interest and tendencies of desire were interpreted as the same. Here, in Pure and Objective Thinking; Interest, the concepts of interest and desire are explained in simple and plain language. Concepts of pure thinking, objective thinking, or appearance are discussed. How concepts of pure and objective thinking relate to students’ interest and desire are explained. Reading this article helps to differentiate interest from desire.
Perspectives

Teachers want to understand their students’ concerns, help to inform students' concerns and thus help students to navigate their challenges and learn at their best efforts. Reading Pure and Objective Thinking; Interest and Desire gives teachers the opportunities to understand students’ interests and to develop creative strategies for helping students to learn optimally.
