Why learning and living are co-existent?


Ans.: Learning and living are co-existent because learning is a continuous process that occurs
throughout our lives. We learn from our experiences, interactions with people, and exposure to
new information. As we learn, we acquire knowledge, skills, and attitudes that we apply in our
daily lives, making our learning relevant and practical. Living provides opportunities for learning,
and learning enriches our lives by enhancing our understanding of ourselves, others, and the
world around us.
What are the main theories of learning?
Ans.: There are several main theories of learning, including behaviorism, cognitivism,
constructivism, and humanism. Behaviorism emphasizes the role of the environment in shaping
behavior, while cognitivism focuses on the mental processes involved in learning.
Constructivism emphasizes the active role of learners in constructing their own knowledge, and
humanism emphasizes the importance of personal growth and self-actualization.
Which of the laws of learning are applied in the following steps of
learning?
 Presentation step
 Application step
 Testing step
The three primary laws of learning are:

Law of Readiness: The learner must be willing and prepared to learn.

Law of Exercise: The more the learned material is practiced, the stronger the connection
becomes.

Law of Effect: Positive outcomes strengthen the learning process, while negative
outcomes weaken it.

The application of these laws can vary depending on the specific learning situation, but
generally:

a) Presentation Step: The Law of Readiness applies here, as learners must be ready and willing
to receive new information. The Law of Effect can also apply if the presentation is engaging and
interesting.
b) Application Step: The Law of Exercise is relevant here, as learners apply what they have
learned through repetition and practice to reinforce the connections between neurons in the
brain.
c) Testing Step: The Law of Effect is most applicable here, as the outcomes of the test, whether
positive or negative, will strengthen or weaken the connections between neurons and therefore
impact future learning. The Law of Exercise can also apply if the test is a form of practice, and
the Law of Readiness may apply if the learner is motivated to perform well on the test.
Explain insight learning theory experiment?
Ans.: Insight learning theory was developed by Wolfgang Köhler, who conducted experiments
on chimpanzees to study problem-solving behavior. In one experiment, he placed bananas
outside a cage that a chimp was in, and gave the chimp several sticks and boxes to use as tools
to reach the bananas. The chimp tried several methods, but was unsuccessful in reaching the
bananas. However, after some time, the chimp suddenly had an insight, and used a stick to
reach the bananas by joining two sticks together. This experiment demonstrated that learning
can occur suddenly through insight, rather than through trial-and-error or conditioning.
