    People learn through connections to prior knowledge, social interaction, experience and reflection. Learning depends on developmental stage and occurs through different intelligences and processes. Effective teaching considers students' backgrounds, creates an emotionally safe environment, and teaches reflection and transfer of skills. Motivation comes from relevance and interest, so teachers should connect classroom material to students' interests.

    How do People Learn?

    BY: BRIEANA KELLY


    Ways People Learn and Develop

     People learn according to what developmental stage they are at in their


    life. Learning occurs by making connections between new information
    with prior knowledge one already has.
     There is a very social aspect to learning. It becomes more productive
    when students can learn from both their peers and their teacher in the
    classroom. Learning can occur by doing, watching, listening, etc.
     Experience and reflection play a role in the development of skills/ideas.
    Development can be encouraged through social interaction.
     There are multiple intelligences and there are multiple ways in which
    people process information.
     As development progresses, people become more competent
    independently, and there is an increase the different types of information
    they are able to learn.
    The Influence of Teaching and the
    Classroom Environment on Learning for
    Understanding

     A classroom environment should be organized around how the people in


    that classroom learn. One should acknowledge that there are different
    strategies that work best in different types of learning and for different
    learners.
     Teachers should take into account who their students are as learners and
    plan accordingly to the developmental levels of the students. This will
    make for a productive classroom.
     Thoughts and emotions play a major role in the learning process. For this
    reason, teachers should create an emotionally safe place within their
    classroom so that students can develop a tolerance and an awareness for
    each other.
     When students learn how to interact with each other, they will be able to
    work together, which aids in a student’s ability to process and understand
    information.
    How Learning Theory can Inform
    Teaching Practice
     As a teacher I should take into account my specific classroom and the
    students within the classroom to inform my practice. This includes the
    students’ prior knowledge, their cultures, and their backgrounds.
     Students should be taught how to reflect on their own thinking so that they
    are able to guide their own learning. When students become aware of
    what works best for them, they can make conscious decisions regarding
    their own learning.
     The concept of “transfer” should be included in my teaching discipline,
    students should be taught how to apply the knowledge and skills they
    learn in the classroom to other situations in order to make it more
    meaningful.
     My teaching practice should be flexible and be modifiable according to
    how students are progressing in my classroom.
    Producing Motivation to Learn and
    Build Strong Learning Communities

     A learner’s interest is driven by the environment they are immersed in and


    and the strategies implemented in the classroom.
     Teachers should know how to keep students motivated even when things
    get tough.
     Teachers should tap into whatever interests students have and come up
    with ways to connect those interests to the learning occurring in the
    classroom.
     When the information is being presented to a student in a way that it is
    relevant to them, it makes them more motivated to learn it.
