This document discusses several key concepts from Gestalt psychology as they relate to perception and learning:
- The Law of Good Continuation states that humans perceive intersecting objects as continuous singular forms rather than separate pieces.
- The Law of Good Pragmatizm and Figure/Ground principles describe how the brain organizes ambiguous stimuli into simple, clearly defined figures and backgrounds.
- Insight learning involves suddenly understanding relationships between problem parts rather than trial and error. It occurs in stages of preparation, incubation, insight, and verification.
- Kurt Lewin's theory examines how inner motivations and outer social forces interact to impact an individual's perceptions and learning.
- Gestalt principles are relevant to

INTRODUCTION:
Learning, as we know it, can be considered as the process by which skills, attitudes, knowledge, and concepts are acquired, understood, applied, and extended. All human beings engage in the process of learning, either consciously, subconsciously, or subliminally whether grownups or children. It is through learning that their competence and ability to function in their environment get enhanced. It is important to understand that while we learn some ideas and concepts through instruction or teaching, we also learn through our feelings and experiences. Feelings and experiences are a tangible part of our lives and these greatly influence what we learn, how we learn, and why we learn.
Learning has been considered partly a cognitive process and partly a social and affective one. It qualifies as a cognitive process because it involves the functions of attention, perception, reasoning, analysis, drawing of conclusions, making interpretations, and giving meaning to the observed phenomena. All of these are mental processes, which relate to the intellectual functions of the individual. Learning is a social and affective process, as the societal and cultural
context in which we function and the feelings and experiences that we have, greatly influence our ideas, concepts, images, and understanding of the world. These constitute inner subjective interpretations and represent our own unique, personalized constructions of the specific universe of functioning.
Our knowledge, ideas, concepts, attitudes, beliefs, and skills, we acquire, are a consequence of these combined processes. The process of learning involves cognition, feeling, experience, and context. Individuals vary greatly with regard to their ability, capacity, and interest in learning. You must have noticed such variations among your friends and students. In any family, children of the same parents differ with respect to what they can learn and how well they can
learn. For example, a particular child may be very good at acquiring practical skills such as repairing electrical gadgets, shopping for the household, etc., while his brother or sister may in contrast be very poor on these, and good at academic tasks, instead. Even for yourself, you may be perplexed why you can do some tasks well, but not others given the same competence level.
For example, learning the tunes of songs and even their lyrics is often found to be easier than learning a formula or a poem. Do you ever wonder why this is so?

PIAGET’s THEORY Play plays a crucial role in their learning process.NancySachdeva7
Piaget's theory of cognitive development suggests that children actively construct their understanding of the world through four stages: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. They assimilate new information into existing mental schemas and accommodate their schemas to fit new experiences. Play plays a crucial role in their learning process.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. LAW OF GOOD CONTINUATION
The principle of good
continuity holds that
humans tend to perceive
each of two or more
objects as different,
singular, and uninterrupted
object even when they
intersect. In other words,
individuals tend to group
together as well as
organize curves, lines and
other forms that are found
in similar directions. People

E NEGATIVE
3. LAW OF GOOD PRAGNANZ
The stimulus will be
organized into as good as
figure as possible. This law
holds that when you're
presented with a set of
ambiguous or complex
objects, your brain will make
them appear as simple as
possible. Based on our
experiences with perception,
4. LAW OF FIGURE/GROUND
The figure-ground principle states that
people instinctively perceive objects as
either being in the foreground or the
background. They either stand out
prominently in the front (the figure) or
recede into the back (the ground). We tend
to pay attention and perceive things in the
foreground first. A stimulus will be
perceived as separate from its ground.

3 CATEGORIES:
STABLE: figure will be clearly identifiable
from the background.
REVERSIBLE: figure and background have

5. INSIGHT LEARNING
The idea of insight learning was
first developed by Wolfgang
Kohler in which he describes
experiments with apes where
the apes could use boxes and
sticks as tools to solve
problems.
A type of learning or problem
solving that happens all-of-a-
sudden through understanding
the relationships various parts
of a problem rather than
through trial and error.
6. 4 STAGES OF INSIGHT LEARNING
Step 1: Preparation - Initially the learner feels helpless (‘I’m never going to figure
this out’) • The individual gathers information about the problem (trial & error).
Step 2: Incubation - The problem is consciously put aside, • But worked on at an
unconscious level.
Step 3: Insight – Some mental event bridges the gap between the problem & the
solution • Unconsciously the learner has reassembled the elements of the problem
into a meaningful whole.
Step 4: Verification - Solution (arrived at mentally) is now tested out (physically)
• This will now help with future problem solving (in a sense the learner is learning
how to learn).
KEY POINTS • The learning appears suddenly • The 1st time the solution is
tried, it is generally done correctly (few/no errors) despite the lack of
7. GESTALT PRINCIPLES AND THE
TEACHING LEARNING PROCESS
Kurt Zadek Lewin (September
9, 1890 – February 12, 1947).
He was a German American
psychologist, known as one of
the modern pioneers of social,
organizational, and applied
psychology in the United
States. Lewin is often
recognized as the "founder of
social psychology" and was
one of the first to study group
8. KURT LEWIN’S THEORY
An individual has inner and outer forces that affect his
perceptions.
Inner forces include his own motivation, attitudes, and
feelings.
Outer forces may include the attitude and behavior of
the teacher and classmates.
All these forces interact and impact on the person’s
learning. It takes complexity of experience , without
neglecting anything, but accepting and amplifying all
9. RELEVANCE OF GESTALT PSYCHOLOGY TO
EDUCATION ACCORDING TO MARION POLITO.
Gestalt psychology is focused on the experience of
contact that occurs in the here and now.
It takes interest in the complexity of experience,
without neglecting anything, but accepting and
amplifying all that emerges.
It stimulates learning as experience and the experience
as a source of learning.
Knowledge is conceived as a continuous organization
and rearrangement of information according to needs,
purposes and meanings.
Autonomy and freedom of the student is stimulated by
10. HOW TO APPLY GESTALT THEORY IN
TEACHING AND LEARNING
Gestalt is a theory of learning that focuses on the
minds perspective. It is useful as a behavioral tool
as it enables the teacher to channel the pupil’s
energy into thinking of an item or subject as parts
of a whole, e.g. a car, being metal, paint, wheels
etc. By thinking of components and breaking
down a situation it enables for a more
psychological process to take place and over time
will broaden a pupils mind into thinking of the
