NATURE OF LEARNING
Prepared by: Rizabel G. Salvatierra
Learning
 is a modification of behavior through experience and training.
 it is a growth and development process.
 the need arises, goal is set-up, adjustment begins, and behavioral charges take place and
stabilize.
There are three Phases of Learning:
a) Practice or learning itself.
b) A time delay.
c) Performance test of what was learned.
Learning occurs in predictable cycles. When something new is taught, there are many steps that
the learner must go through before the new skill becomes "natural."
Theories of Learning
- are conceptual frameworks that describe how information is absorbed, processed, and retained
during learning.
Shared activity provides a meaningful social context for learning…Social interaction
provides support in a physical sense as well as a motivational sense…Through talking and
communicating, the gaps and flaws in one’s thinking become explicit and accessible to
correction…thought becomes sequential and visible to the thinker.
