APPLYING THE FOUR BASES OF SUCCESS (IDDHIPADA 4) TO FOSTER PERSEVERANCE AND A LIFELONG LEARNING CULTURE IN 21ST-CENTURY STUDENTS

Abstract

This academic article aims to provide an in-depth analysis and proposed applied approaches to using the Four Bases of Success (Ithipath 4) to foster perseverance and a love of learning in students within the context of 21st-century education, an era of rapid technological, social, and economic change. Education therefore needs to focus on developing learners' potential for self-learning and appropriate adaptation. This study uses a method of analyzing Buddhist literature combined with synthesizing modern educational concepts, particularly intrinsic motivation theory and active learning concepts To find consistency between principle and practice, the analysis revealed that the Four Bases of Success (Ithipatha 4), comprising Chanda (desire), Viriya (effort), Citta (mind), and Vimamsa (investigation), are principles aimed at systematically developing an individual's inner strength. Chanda stimulates satisfaction and love for what is being learned, which is the foundation of intrinsic motivation. Diligence (Virya) promotes perseverance and endurance in the face of obstacles. Concentration (Citta) helps develop focus and attention to learning tasks. Reflection (Vimamsa) is the process of continuous self-examination, examination, and improvement. When these principles are integrated into a learner-centered learning process, This will help develop students to be responsible, determined, and able to learn meaningfully. Furthermore, it contributes to the development of lifelong learning competencies, which are essential characteristics of 21st-century citizens and will lead to the development of future human resources.
