Abstract
Inspiration has been rarely studied in education and pedagogical literature. In fact it is even very hard to find good reference papers about measuring students ’ inspiration. Student inspiration has nearly been totally away from schools expected outcome. Inspiration is not yet a measure for the return of investment on education. Along the educational journey, in many schools that are considered to be competitive ; students have never been challenged to explore their sources of inspiration. In this study we investigate the data for more than 17 , 000 high school students, after setting the basic criteria ’ s for students ’ inspiration. The paper address es what are the situations, the conditions and practices that help in creating waves of inspiration to cover more students. The study concludes with a proposed learning framework and a recommendation for future researches to come. The limitation of the paper mainly is that it was conducted only in one country.
