Flow is an excellent state of mind. When teachers are fully engaged in the teaching process and experience a combination of pleasure and satisfaction, they enter a state of concentration where time seems to pass quickly. In the theory of t psychology, low theory shows that flow is not a state of conscious spontaneity. It can be said that we can use professional technology solutions to create a positive environment suitable for teaching, thus enabling teachers to better enter the state of flow in teaching. Q-NEX solution has provided scientific and technical support to many areas of education.

Csikszentmihalyi goes so far as to say that flow provides an “Optimal experience” that leads to a higher level of satisfaction regardless of the nature of the task.

Although the original flow study was based on artists, flow states can occur in many settings, including sports, the workplace, and even during evening runs. In the teaching process, when a teacher has a clear teaching objective, and teaching activities some challenges can be overcome and difficulties can be resolved. This teaching activity can give teachers positive feedback, so that teachers enjoy it, then, the composition of these factors together, flow can happen.
