Learning is an internal process that is activated by the learner and results from their experiences and discovery of personal meaning. It is an evolutionary process that can be painful at times but is enhanced through cooperation with others and problem solving in a way that is unique to each individual, using their emotions and intellect. Learning principles include that it is strongest when initially introduced or most recently practiced, and greater when experiences are more intense or the learner has more freedom.
