Three chapters of learning

a. Analysis of learner- centered theories of learning


b. Comparison of child,adolescent, and adult learning
c. Categorizing knowledge according to type,declarative,
procedural, and functional knowledge
Learner-Centered Theories of
learning
Learning- first thing that comes to our mind is studying
subjects or courses
-learning extends much more beyond the confines of the
clasroom or the school
-people learn everyday of thier lives in various places and
