10 Definition of Learning

The document provides 10 definitions of learning from various sources. The definitions characterize learning as: 1) A relatively permanent change in knowledge or behavior due to experience that persists over time rather than being ascribable to other factors like growth (Definitions 1 and 2). 2) A transformative process of taking in information that changes what we know when internalized and mixed with experience (Definitions 3 and 4). 3) Acquiring knowledge and skills readily available from memory to make sense of future problems and opportunities (Definitions 5 and 6).

10 Definitions of Learnings

1. “A change in human disposition or capability that persists over a period of time and is
not simply ascribable to processes of growth.”
— From The Conditions of Learning by Robert Gagne

2. “Learning is the relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge or behavior due


to experience. This definition has three components: 1) the duration of the change is
long-term rather than short-term; 2) the locus of the change is the content and
structure of knowledge in memory or the behavior of the learner; 3) the cause of the
change is the learner’s experience in the environment rather than fatigue, motivation,
drugs, physical condition or physiologic intervention.”
–From Learning in Encyclopedia of Educational Research, Richard E. Mayer 

3. “We define learning as the transformative process of taking in information that—


when internalized and mixed with what we have experienced—changes what we
know and builds on what we do. It’s based on input, process, and reflection. It is what
changes us.”
–From The New Social Learning by Tony Bingham and Marcia Conner

4. “It has been suggested that the term learning defies precise definition because it is put
to multiple uses. Learning is used to refer to (1) the acquisition and mastery of what is
already known about something, (2) the extension and clarification of meaning of
one’s experience, or (3) an organized, intentional process of testing ideas relevant to
problems. In other words, it is used to describe a product, a process, or a function.”
–From Learning How to Learn: Applied Theory for Adults by R.M. Smith

5. “Acquiring knowledge and skills and having them readily available from memory so
you can make sense of future problems and opportunities.”
From Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning by Peter C. Brown, Henry L.
Roediger III, Mark A. McDaniel

6. “A process that leads to change, which occurs as a result of experience and increases
the potential of improved performance and future learning.”
From How Learning Works:  Seven Research-Based Principles for Smart Teaching by
Susan Ambrose, et al.
7. “The process of gaining knowledge and expertise.”
From The Adult Learner by Malcolm Knowles

8. “Learning involves strengthening correct responses and weakening incorrect


responses. Learning involves adding new information to your memory. Learning
involves making sense of the presented material by attending to relevant information,
mentally reorganizing it, and connecting it with what you already know.”
From eLearning and the Science of Instruction by Ruth C. Clark and Richard E.
Mayer

9. “A persisting change in human performance or performance potential…[which] must


come about as a result of the learner’s experience and interaction with the world.”
From Psychology of Learning for Instruction by M. Driscoll

10. “Learning is a process that occurs within nebulous environments of shifting core
elements – not entirely under the control of the individual. Learning (defined as
actionable knowledge) can reside outside of ourselves (within an organization or a
database), is focused on connecting specialized information sets, and the connections
that enable us to learn more are more important than our current state of knowing.”
From Connectivism: A Learning Theory for the Digital Age by George Seimens
