Introduction and Factors of Learning

Learning is a key process in human behavior or any organism. It plays a central role in the language we speak, our culture, our attitudes and belief our goals, our personality traits, our perception etc. learning can be defined any relatively permanent change in behavioral that occurs as a result of practice or experience.

Learning is not limited to acquiring new skills and academic subject matter; it also helps us to in adjustment and adoption according to environmental demand.

Factors of Effective Learning

• Motivation
  • The learner will put forth more effort and demonstrate greater interest in learning something if their motivation is stronger and more obvious. Greater and more long-lasting learning is the end result.
• Intelligence
  • It gives us the ability to reason, understand how things relate to one another, and make wise and critical judgments. Without intellect, learning cannot take place properly.
• Physical maturation
  • Effective learning also requires physical development. A child, for instance, cannot learn to write without first acquiring the neuro-muscular co-ordination necessary for learning.
• Physical condition of the learner
  • It is a significant element. A lack of energy, which is crucial for good learning, characterizes a sick person. It has been discovered that people with brain abnormalities have poor learning capacities.
• Good working condition
  • An ideal learning environment includes things like light, air, comfort, a comfortable temperature, and the absence of distractions like noise.
• Mental health of the learner
  • Studies have demonstrated that worries, fear, recurring nightmares, feelings of loneliness, inferiority complexes, etc. work against learning.
• Associating things as a part of a total situation
  • The new learning should be linked to all relevant previously learned stuff. This implies that many elements of the learning environment should be interconnected.
• Length of working period
  • The working intervals shouldn't be too long or too short. This may be a propensity to overlook the fact that the learning period is too brief while fatigue sets in and lessens learning efficiency after the learner has worked for a longer than usual period of time.

Factor Influencing Learning

Nature of The Learner

Any learning task must focus on learning.

• Learners’ physical and mental health
  • It is crucial that the learner maintains his or her physical and mental well-being while learning because even a simple headache or stomach ache can interfere with the learning process and its outcomes. One cannot expect a learner who is anxious, emotionally unstable, or mentally ill to demonstrate effective learning.

Basic Potential of Learners

Learning is dependent on the learner's innate abilities and capacity for learning. Knowledge specifics, comprehension abilities relevant to a given field or area, learner interest, and attitude relevant to a given learning area.

Goals of Life

Achieving goals can provide the energy and the confidence needed to continue setting more goals. Goals help to see where you are today and where you want to be in the future. Goals are the fuel that keeps you moving forward.
