- | ===== Learning Definitions ===== | ||
- | |||
- | There are numerous definitions of learning depending on the point of view. Some of them claim that learning is: | ||
- | |||
- | * the acquisition of knowledge by study. | ||
- | * "all relatively permanent changes in potential for behavior that result from experience but are not due to fatigue, maturation, drugs, injury, or disease."((Lefrancois, G. R. Theories of Human Learning: What the Old Man Said. Belmont, CA: Wadsworth/Thompson Learning. 2000.)) | ||
- | * "a relatively permanent change in behavior due to experience. This refers to a change in behavior, an external change that we can observe." ((Ormrod, J.E. Human learning (3rd ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall. 1999.)) | ||
- | * "a relatively permanent change in mental associations due to experience. This definition focuses on a change in mental associations, an internal change that we cannot observe." ((Ormrod, J.E. Human learning (3rd ed.). Upper Saddle River, NJ: Prentice-Hall. 1999.)) | ||
- | * the sudden or slow acquisition of insight into the rules governing certain relationships in the environment. |
