This document discusses factors that affect the learning process. It identifies individual variables like intelligence, interests, attitudes, emotions, physical health, and readiness as influencing learning. Method variables such as whole vs. part learning, spaced vs. unspaced learning, repetition vs. recitation also impact the rate of learning. Task variables related to the length, difficulty, and meaningfulness of material can slow down or speed up how quickly information is learned. The key factors discussed are intellectual, mental, emotional, social, physical, environmental, teacher personality characteristics, and variables related to the learning method and task.

1. FACTORS AFFECTING
LEARNING

2. Learning is a
permanent behavioral
changes through
experience . It is the
act of acquiring new
skill ,knowledge ,
information etc.

3. Some of the important factors which may
affect the learning process are
Individual variable
Method variable
Task variable

4. Individual variable
It includes cognitive and
affective factors. They are

5. Children with low intelligence
often difficulty in mastering
schoolwork .children with high
intelligence often easy in their
works. Sometimes pupils do
not learn because of special
intellectual disabilities.
Intellectual
factors

6. Interest , attitude , aptitude
are also important in the
field of learning . They play
a vital role in the mental
and general behavior of the
individual . These things are
increases the rate of
learning .
Mental factors

7. Things like social factors and emotions
can relate directly to your motivation for
learning .If you cooperate with others you
will learn faster and will have more fun in
learning new things .
Emotional
and social
factors

8. This includes things such as
our overall health , nutrition ,
physical deficiencies and
physical development. If we
are in poor health we wont be
able to learn the things
presented.
Physical factors

9. We need to have the proper environmental
conditions in order to learn . The classroom
must be conductive to good learning .The
texts , equipment and school supplies must
be of a good quality so that the student can
learn as easily as possible.
Environmental factors

10. Each teacher has his/her own personality
that can strongly affect the individual’s
learning environment .The success or
failure of the student can depend on the
teacher’s personality.
Teacher’s personality

11. If the learner is ready to
learn ,he will develop
motivation to learn .
Readiness will help to
develop a positive
attitude in learner .
Readiness

12. Method variable
Effective learning depends upon the
methods of study also. There are certain
methods which save the energy and
time of the learner.

13. In the whole method the learner learns
the entire unit in each time . In the part
method the learner learns the material in
part and connect the separately learned
parts.
Part v/s
whole
method

14. In the case of spaced learning
the learner learns the material
with rest interval.
In the case of un-spaced
learning the learner learns the
material without rest interval.
Spaced v/s
un-spaced
method

15. Just repetition of lessons becomes rote
learning in which changes of forgetting are
more . In recitation the learner will check the
weak points which may be forgotten and put
more emphasis on those points . This points
will help to overcome missing of points from
the memory.
Recitation
v/s
Repetition

16. Task variable
It is based on the nature of the learning materials

17. length of the
material
If the length of the learning
tasks exceeds the memory
span of the learner and the
time taken to learn will be
more.

18. Difficulty level of
material
If the material is difficult
the rate of learning is
slowed down and
forgetting becomes more
and fast.

19. Meaningfulness of
material
There is greater easy and
facility for memorizing
meaningful material as
compared with meaningless
materials.
