Flow theory means the state where a person is so engaged in an activity that they lose track of time because they are so focused on the activity, and focused on doing will on the activity. There should be some type of intrinsic motivation that leads to the occurrence of flow (Aguilar, 2012, para 5). In another article, Elana Aguilar suggests that students have to want to engage in challenging tasks.

The key, says psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, is a finely tuned sense of rhythm, involvement, and anticipation known as 'flow.' Csikszentmihalyi (pronounced 'CHICK-sent-me-high-ee'), a. Each student is an individual, meaning that each student learns things at a different rate or in a different way. Education is not a ‘one size fits all’ environment. Teachers should provide each student with individual appropriate tasks that coincide with their abilities to master the material. By using this theory, students can be provided an opportunity to learn in a challenging classroom environment. In an article written about Flow Theory, the author states that “Flow is an optimal psychological state that people experience when engaged in an activity that is both appropriately challenging to one’s skill level, often resulting in immersion and concentrated focus on a task” (Krist2366, 2014, para 1). It was originated by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi.

In this new edition of his groundbreaking classic work, Csikszentmihalyi demonstrates the ways this. During flow, people typically experience deep enjoyment, creativity, and a total involvement with life.

One of the theories that I stumbled across was the Flow Theory. Psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyis famous investigations of 'optimal experience' have revealed that what makes an experience genuinely satisfying is a state of consciousness called flow.
