Why 'Academic Acclimatization' Matters
Janpha Thadphoothon
Every organism is capable of adjusting itself to the new environment. Time to get used to something new or things we used to do well. Yes, we need to get ourselves acquainted with the new situation. A bit like taking a shower on a cold day. You should not jump right to the water.
We need to get used to the new situation. Like meeting someone. If you get or become acquainted with someone that you do not know, you talk to each other or do something together so that you get to know each other. You can also say that two people get or become acquainted.
Reading or doing intellectual challenging tasks is a way to get acquainted with each other and with the academic world. In other words, we need to acclimatize ourselves to the new normal. Athletes recognize the need to warm up before the big day.
Acclimatization is the process in which an individual organism adjusts to a change in its environment. we can think of changes in altitude, temperature, humidity, photoperiod, or pH). When we have to deal with those situations, we need to get ourselves into the situation, stepping slowly into the rhythm of the context.
We can notice lives in nature. We will notice that trees abandon their leaves prior to the coming of snow. Birds migrate south. They do so to maintain performance across a range of environmental conditions.
In the academic world, like schools and colleges, we cannot simply ask the students or pupils to return to schools to study - humans are not machines.
The process of acclimatization varies. it can be in a short period of time (hours to weeks) and within the organism's lifetime.
Before we start or restart something, we need to do a warm-up. After all, it is our preparedness that makes us accurately perceive how good or bad a situation is.
Because, as they say, “Well begun is half-done.”
