WHAT IS LEARNING?

Hi guys,

We meet again.

Before start discussing the parents role in educating their children I think it is best to start of by defining the definition of learning. By understanding the concept our discussion will be more fruitful.

Learning for many people is something related to the process of acquiring skills, knowledge or other things that will help individuals to perform in their daily life. According to Educational Psychologists, learning is referred to the process through which experience causes permanent change in knowledge or behaviour. As Hill (2002) noted that the change may be deliberated or unintentional, for better or for worse, correct or incorrect, and conscious or unconscious.

The changes however should happen by experience, where people involve in their daily interaction. This process is theorefore not by maturation but more by experience, where the individual really aware of the process.

So, no matter we realised or not, it happened to us, everyday, every moment. The differences is however depends very much by the quality of the learning that every person have gone through. In the next discussion i will try to relate this to the educational context and how we can at least contribute or influence that learning process to be as much as positive as possible.

Till then thank you.

See you again next time.
