Learning

Definitions of learning;

Munn-Learning is the process of being modified, more or less permanently, by what

happens in the world around as, by what we do, or by what we observe.

Kulkarm- learning is relatively permanent change in b/r, which occurs as e result of

experience or practice.

Generally learning is a process resulting in some modification, relatively permanent, of the

way of thinking, feeling, doing of the learner. It includes words such as education "and

training. Training usually means learning to act or behave in a certain way or do a specific

jobs or skills. It usually puts less emphasis on general thinking or knowledge than educationdoes. Education usually means gaining general theoretical knowledge and may not pay much

attention to learning how to do any specific work, tasks or skills. Usually basic training in

health service is a combination of theoretical, education and practical learning skills.

How does learning occur? There are some hypothetical assumptions. These are;

1) Learning is personal/individual.

2) Learning occurs when there is an active mental process(active participation)

3) Learning occurs by the choice of the student.

Characteristics of learning

I. Learning is unitary.

II. Learning is individual and social.

III. Learning is self-active.July 25, 2011

IV. Learning is purposive.

V. Learning is creative.

VI. Learning is transferable.

Steps in learning

We can get some useful ideas about learning by examining how babies and young children learn

.This is b/c that adult is similar in several important ways:

1. The first is observation.

2. Next, children try to use other methods like listening, touching, or tasting. They usually use

more than one way to discover and explore.

3. When a child starts to speak, she or he may ask why and how something happens.4. Often the child tries to imitate/copy the same action saying, let me do it myself.

5. Most of the time the child repeats the action repeatedly.

6. Many times children ask parents to observe them how they are able to perform something.

Purpose of learning

To acquire new knowledge, attitude, and skill.

To express ones thought, feelings and attitudes.

To change the b/r. (the ultimate or general purpose of learning).

Principle of learning

Generally principle of learning divided in to two. These are;

A. Pedagogic- which have basis on teacher centered learning.

B. Mathetic- which have basis on learner centered learning.According to Kulkarni (1975) Learning(programmed) has the following principles;

A student learn by being active: If he/she has to perform in a certain manner after thelearning session, he/she must be allowed to perform in that manner during the learningsession itself.

A student learns better and is motivated to learn, if he/she is told that he/she is right after

he/she takes a step in the right direction, i.e. to say, if he/she is reinforced. A student learns better if the task he/she has to learn is analyzed into sub-tasks which are

sequenced properly. So that he/she can learn one step at time beginning with a step whichhe/she already knows.

The sequence of these sub-task or the instructional events should be reproducible, so thatany person other than the designer himself can verify that the sequence leads to the effect,changes the b/r of the acceptable students in the specified manner and that it does so

consequently. This has to be specified in such a manner that its realization can be measured.

For specific strategies in organizing situations for learning and arranging their sequence ,leads are provided by various principle of cognitive process and motivation. These principleare derived from psychology of cognitive process, motivation and field theories.

No strategy can be considered to be effective unless it guarantees the learning of allstudents for whom it is designed.
