CHAPTER 1
Understanding Learning and Acquisition of Knowledge
Introduction
Educators have realized that for the students to be successful in life they need to be lifelong learners. Many educators have attempted to define learning. Some of these definitions are too complicated to have meaning. Others are not broad enough in their scope. Perhaps the best definition, especially where educators are concerned, is the definition which puts emphasis on the student’s ability to perform as the result of learning.
Nature of Learning
• Ornstein (1990) – learning is a reflective process whereby the learner either develops new insights or changes or restructures his mental process.
• Lardizabal (1991)- learning is an integrated, on-going process occurring within the individual.
• Slavin (1995)- learning is a change of individual cause by experience.
• Calderon (1998)- learning is the acquisition through maturation and experience of new and more knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will enable the learner to make better.
Theories of Learning
Introduction
Theories are statements that explain a certain event or phenomena. This report discusses different theories that explain how learning occurs in learners, thus, the learning theories. These learning theories are classified among the Behavioral Theories, Cognitive Theories, and Constructivist Theories. However, even though there are a lot of theories which explain how learning occurs, there is no single perfect theory that can explain all as learning depends also on the learners, the
