The first recorded use of the [[word]] ''boredom'' is in the [[novel]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleak_House Bleak House] by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Dickens Charles Dickens], written in 1852, in which it appears six times, although the [[expression]] to be a ''bore'' had been used in the sense of "to be tiresome or dull" since 1768. The French term for boredom, ''ennui'', is sometimes used in [[English]] as well.

In a [[learning]] environment, a common cause of boredom is lack of [[understanding]]; for instance, if one is not following or connecting to the [[material]] in a [[class]] or [[lecture]], it will usually seem boring. However, the [[opposite]] can also be true; something that is too easily understood, [[simple]] or [[transparent]], can also be boring. Boredom is often inversely related to [[learning]], and in [[school]] it may be a sign that a [[student]] is not challenged enough, or too challenged. An [[activity]] that is predictable to the students is likely to bore them.
