INTRODUCTION

English translation pending.

CORE DEFINITION

Adapted from force field analysis, the method treats any learning state as the balance of driving forces such as motivation, resources, and support against restraining forces such as distraction, anxiety, and missing method. Because net movement depends on the difference between the two, change can be produced by strengthening a driver or by removing a restraint. The qualification is that the forces shift over time, so a single diagnosis goes stale.

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

- Use Force Inventory: list what pushes you toward learning and what holds you back. - Use Restraint Removal: attack the strongest obstacle before adding more motivation.

Anchor fast decisions

Behaviour sits where driving and restraining forces balance, which is why adding motivation yields little when a strong restraint holds the position. Removing the largest restraint shifts the balance directly and does not require sustained extra effort, so it produces more movement per unit of intervention.

MINIMUM ACTION

In progress 0/1

Practice this model in one real situation:

List the forces that currently support your learning. 2. List the forces that are working against it. 3. Rate each force by how strong it currently is. 4. Remove or weaken the strongest restraint before anything else. 5. Repeat the diagnosis each month as the conditions change.
