Through our discussion in last class, I've been thinking about what is slow thinking and fast thinking. Are they domain specific or domain general? For academic learning, such as science and literacy, it would probably help people develop logical thinking which takes more time to generate deep thoughts on certain ideas. But for people engaging in art creation, do they have the same kinds of learning approaches? Because I'm considering the role of intuition which is always valued by many artists. In another words, I don't quite understand how we should distinguish these two different thinking systems and what their functions are in different learning contexts.
For the linkage with self-efficacy, I'm considering it as people's belief system which is formed by different thinking systems. As we discussed before, it is closely related to successful learning experiences. However, both slow thinking and fast thinking could create different levels or kinds of success. For example, a child could learn how to plant flower very quickly by following other peers or parents' behaviors. Is this based on fast thinking which might also increase their self-efficacy? And for college students who study sciences, they may experience more slow thinking to achieve success. How people's belief system would be changed based on different thinking systems according to different cognitive development stages or learning contexts?
