love of learning
Passion for knowledge
Love of learning is genuine enjoyment of acquiring knowledge and understanding.
Unlike studying for grades or credentials, it describes intrinsic motivation—the pleasure of discovering how things work, why events happened, or what ideas mean.
Someone with a love of learning reads beyond assignments, pursues questions for their own sake, and finds the process of understanding inherently rewarding: Her love of learning kept her in the library long after her research was done.
