DETERMINANTS OF LEARNING BY: MS.KEERTHI. K ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR HOLY MARY COLLEGE OF NURSING
MEANING •Determinants of learning refer to the factors that influence how effectively a person learns. •Understanding these determinants allows educators to create more personalized and effective teaching strategies that accommodate learners' specific needs circumstances.
The main determinants of learning include Learning needs Readiness to learn Learning styles
I.LEARNING NEEDS •DEFINITION: “Learning needs refer to the gaps between a learner's current knowledge or skills and what they need to know or be able to do. Identifying these needs helps guide what, how, and when learning should occur”.
I.LEARNING NEEDS-TYPES • What the learner believes they need to learn. • based on self- assessment or their personal goals. PERCEIVED NEEDS • The real gaps in knowledge or skills that an educator or external assessment identifies. ACTUAL NEEDS • Learning that is required according to a specific standard or curriculum. NORMATIVE NEEDS • The learning that the individual feels is necessary to improve their personal professional situation. FELT NEEDS • Needs that are verbally communicated by the learner (e.g., asking questions or requesting specific training). EXPRESSED NEEDS
IMPORTANCE OF IDENTIFYING LEARNING NEEDS * Tailors educational content to address the specific gaps in learners' knowledge or skills. * Increases the relevance and motivation for learners since it addresses areas they perceive as valuable. * Helps ensure that teaching is aligned with learning goals and outcome
WAYS TO IDENTIFY LEARNING NEEDS •Self-assessment: Learners reflect on what they already know and what they need to learn. •Assessment Tools: Pre-tests, diagnostic assessments, or interviews to identify gaps in knowledge. •Feedback from Peers and Instructors: Insights from teachers or classmates about areas needing improvement.
II.READINESS TO LEARN DEFINITION: “Readiness to learn refers to the physical, emotional, and cognitive state of the learner that makes them prepared and motivated to engage in learning. It encompasses the learner's willingness and ability to learn at a given time”.
FACTORS INFLUENCING READINESS TO LEARN • The desire to learn, which can be intrinsic (self-driven) or extrinsic (driven by external rewards or pressures). Motivation: • Learners need to be in good physical and emotional health to effectively absorb new information. Physical and Mental Health: • Prior learning provides a foundation for new learning. Learners must have the required background knowledge. Previous Knowledge:
FACTORS INFLUENCING READINESS TO LEARN • : Personal life circumstances, such as family responsibilities, work, or financial concerns, can impact readiness to learn. LIFE CONTEXT • Learners may have different levels of readiness based on their developmental or cognitive stage. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE • For example, children, adolescents, and adults all have different capacities for learning.
INDICATORS FOR READINESS TO LEARN INTEREST IN THE SUBJECT: Learners show curiosity or ask questions related to the content. SELF- DIRECTEDNESS: They take initiative to seek out learning materials or experiences on their own. FOCUS AND ATTENTION: Learners are able to concentrate during lessons and engage in discussions. CONFIDENCE IN ABILITIES: They feel capable of learning the new material and applying it in real life.
ENCHANCING READINESS TO LEARN • Providing encouragement, setting achievable goals, and showing relevance to real- world scenarios. *MOTIVATIONAL STRATEGIES: • Reducing distractions, offering emotional support, and ensuring access to necessary resources CREATING A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT:. • Structuring learning in a way that connects with what the learner already knows or experiences. BUILDING ON PRIOR KNOWLEDGE:
III.LEARNING STYLES “Ellis (1985) described learning style as it helps a person in a consistent way to become conscious of information needed, how to clarify and develop concepts organize and recall information at the time of need”.
V A R K VISUAL LEARNING STYLE AUDITORY LEARNING STYLE READ/WRITE LEARNING STYLE KINESTHETIC LEARNING STYLE Theory of Neil Fleming's VARK model
VISUAL LEARNING STYLE • Learners who prefer visual learning style they learn best by seeing. • They prefer to see the information presented in visual rather than in written form. • Graphic displays like charts, diagrams, illustration, handouts and videos are all helpful learning tools for visual learners. • They visualize what they are doing or what they want to do. • Learns best in interactive formats: Role play, modeling, groups etc. • Easily gets distracts when there are no visual aids while explainning.
AUDITORY LEARNING STYLE •Learners learn best when information are spoken. •They do not need careful notes to learn, avoids eye contact to concentrate. •They read aloud when they are learning or they keep music on in background when they study. •This type of learners are good at remembering things they are told. •Lecturers, group discussion, radio, email, speaking are the best way for auditory learners to learn.
READ/WRITE LEARNING STYLE •Reading and writing learners prefer to take in information displayed as words. •Learning materials that are primarily text based are strongly preferred. •This type of learner prefer to say the words/sentences and write it as well to learn. •Essay, PowerPoint making, reports, manual they are good at it. •They are good at writing down notes during lectures. •They prefer area which is quiet to learn and study themselves to prefer distraction.
KINESTHETIC LEARNING STYLE •This type of learner prefers touch as their primarily mode for taking in information, they are connected to reality. •This learners need more and more practical work. •They need opportunities for creativity, hands on learning, interaction with concrete materials. •Learning is best accommodated through movements. •This type of learners doesn’t like to seat at one place and learn they want to try things to get its knowledge. •They learn from lot of projects, new concrete personal experiences. •They believe in doing things and learning, it also includes case study and application-based learning.
Learning Style Stage associated with Likes Dislikes Activist Having an experience Doing and experiencing. Games, practical activities, anything that is energetic and involving. Sitting around for too long; working alone; theorising; having to listen to others. Reflector Reviewing the experience Time to think, observe, take it all in; watching others; solitude and time. Being hurtled into activity, no time to think; crammed timetables; lack of privacy, no time to prepare. Theorist Concluding from the experience To know where something fits into overall ideas and concepts; analysis and logic; being stretched; abstract concepts; structure, clarity. mindless fun; wasting time; not being able to question; lack of a timetable and structure. Pragmatist Planning the next steps Practical problem solving; relevance to the real world; applying learning. Anything theoretical; learning that focuses too much on past or future and not present.

ADVANTAGES OF LEARNING STYLE •Students learn better and more quickly if the teaching methods used match their preferred learning styles. •As learning improves, so too does self esteem. This has a further positive effect on learning. •Students who have become bored with learning may become interested once again. •The student-teacher relationship can improve because the student is more successful and is more interested in learning.
