Definition of Learning
 Gardner Murphy (1968)- the term learning covers every modification in behaviour to
meet environmental requirements.

 Gates (1946) – learning is the modification of behaviour through experience.

 Woodworth (1945) – any activity can be called learning so far as it develops the
individual (in any respect, good or bad) and makes his later behaviour and experiences
different from what they would otherwise have been.

 Kingsley and Garry (1957) - learning is the process by which behaviour


changed through practice or training.
Definition: Learning is…
 A change in behavior as a result of experience or practice.
 The acquisition of knowledge.
 Knowledge gained through study.
 To gain knowledge of, or skill in, something through
study, teaching, instruction or experience.
 The process of gaining knowledge.
 A process by which behavior is changed, shaped or
controlled.
 The individual process of constructing understanding based
on experience from a wide range of sources.
Nature and characteristics of
learning
1. Learning is the change in behaviour.
2. Learning is a continuous life long process.
3. Learning is a universal process.
4. Learning is purposive and goal directed.
5. Learnring involves reconstruction of experiences.
6. Learning is the product of activity and environment.
8. Learning is transferable from one situation to another.
9.Learning helps in attainment of teaching –
learning objectives.
10. Learning helps in the proper growth and
development.
11.Learning helps in the balanced development of
the personality.
12. Learning helps in proper adjustment.
13. Learning helps in the realization of goals of life.
14. Learning does not necessarily imply improvement.

Learning

Types of learning

1. Motor learning:

Most of our activities in our day-to-days life refer to motor


activities. The individual has to learn them in order to
maintain his regular life, for example walking, running,
skating, driving, climbing, etc. All these activities involve
the muscular coordination
 2. Verbal learning:

This type of learning involves the language we speak, the


communication devices we use. Signs, pictures, symbols,
words, figures, sounds, etc, are the tools used in such
activities. We use words for communication.
3. Concept learning:

It is the form of learning which requires higher order mental


processes like thinking, reasoning, intelligence, etc. we learn
different concepts from childhood. For example, when we
see a dog and attach the term ‘dog’, we learn that the word
dog refers to a particular animal. Concept learning involves
two processes, viz. abstraction and generalisation. This
learning is very useful in recognising, identifying things
 4. Discrimination learning:

Learning to differentiate between stimuli and showing an


appropriate response to these stimuli is called
discrimination learning. Example, sound horns of different
vehicles like bus, car, ambulance, etc.
 5. Learning of principles:

Individuals learn certain principles related to science,


mathematics, grammar, etc. in order to manage their work
effectively. These principles always show the relationship
between two or more concepts. Example: formulae, laws,
associations, correlations, etc.
6. Problem solving:
This is a higher order learning process. This learning
requires the use of cognitive abilities-such as thinking,
reasoning, observation, imagination, generalization, etc.
This is very useful to overcome difficult problems
encountered by the people.
 7. Attitude learning:
Attitude is a predisposition which determines and directs
our behaviour. We develop different attitudes from our
childhood about the people, objects and everything we
know. Our behaviour may be positive or negative depending
upon our attitudes. Example: attitudes of nurse towards her
profession, patients, etc.
Domains of Learning

 Cognitive domain of learning

 Conative domain of learning

 Affective domain of learning


Factor influencing learning

 Learner Related Factor –


 Learner’s physical and mental health
 The basic potential of the learner

 Readiness and will power
 Teacher Related Factor –

 mastery over the subject matter

 Art and skill teaching

 Personality traits and behaviour of the teacher

 Level of adjustment and mental health of the teacher

 Type of discipline and interaction maintained by the


 Contents Related Factor-

 Nature of the contents or learning experience

 Selection of the content or learning experiences

 Organisation of the contents or learning


experience
Theory of learning
Theories of Learning:
 Psychologists have tried to explain how people learn and why
they learn. They have conducted many experiments on animals
and children and come to certain definite conclusions which
explain the modes of learning.
 These are called as theories of learning. In many books, these
explanations are treated as kinds of learning. In a sense it is
true. But the term learning is very comprehensive. It covers a
wide range of activities which cannot be explained within a
limited framework. There are many theories explaining modes
of learning. Important among them are:
Trial and Error Method
of
Learning –
Thorndike (1874-1949)
http://physicsdiary.com/2014/04/26/trial-and-error-method-of-learning-thorndike-1874-
1949/
Thorndike’s Experiment
 He used a 24 hours hungry cat. The cat was fully fed 24 hours
back. He used a puzzle box which had a door that could be
opened by a device – by pressing a lever, the latch or pulling a
string. The box had ventilation. The hungry cat was put inside
the box and a fish was placed outside. The cat tried to come
out by random movements. These random movements and
actions are called exploratory movements. By chance it
happens to press the lever – the door opens, it comes out and
eats the fish. The cat is starved again and put in the box and
the whole thing is repeated many times. The cat learns the
method to open the door. Now if it is put in the box, it can
easily open the door. It is called trial and error.
This is a chance learning or S.R.
(Stimulus Response) learning.This is
also called Associative learning
thorndike’s experiment
THE THEORY

 Learning means establishing proper bond


between stimulus and response. This theory is
also called
connectionism. According to Thorndike Learning
is a mechanical process. We learn from mistakes.
The correct responses are rewarded and they
are stamped in.
 “Learning is a process
of acquiring and stabilizing successful or
rewarded responses and of eliminating the
unsuccessful or unrewarded responses.”
 Education is the process of acquiring and
stabilizing successful habit pattern through
Thorndike's laws of learning
and its educational
implications

http://dgwaymade.blogspot.in/2010/10/thorndikes-laws-of-learning-and-its.html
1) Law of Readiness:-
First primary law of learning, according to him,
is the ‘Law of Readiness’ or the ‘Law of Action
Tendency’, which means that learning takes place
when an action tendency is aroused through
preparatory adjustment, set or attitude. Readiness
means a preparation of action. If one is not
prepared to learn, learning cannot be
automatically instilled in him, for example, unless
the typist, in order to learn typing prepares himself
to start, he would not make much progress in a
lethargic & unprepared manner
2) Law of Exercise:-
The second law of learning is the ‘Law of Exercise’,
which means that drill or practice helps in increasing
efficiency and durability of learning and according to
Throndike’s S-R Bond Theory, the connections are
strengthened with trail or practice and the connections
are weakened when trial or practice is discontinued. The
‘law of exercise’, therefore, is also understood as the
‘law of use and disuse’ in which case connections or
bonds made in the brain cortex are weakened or
loosened. Many examples of this case are found in case
of human learning. Learning to drive a motor-
car, typewriting, singing or memorizing a poem
or a
mathematical table, and music etc. need exercise and
repetition of various movements and actions many times.
3) Law of Effect:-
The third law is the ‘Law of Effect’, according to which
the trial or steps leading to satisfaction stamps in the
bond or connection. Satisfying states lead to
consolidation and strengthening of the connection,
whereas dis-satisfaction, annoyance or pain lead to the
weakening or stamping out of the connection. In fact,
the ‘law of effect’ signifies that if the response satisfy
the subject, they are learnt and selected, while those
which are not satisfying are eliminated. Teaching,
therefore, must be pleasing. The educator must obey
the tastes and interests of his pupils. In other words,
greater the satisfaction stronger will be the motive to
learn. Thus, intensity is an important condition of ‘law
of effect’
4) Law of Multiple – Response-
According to it the organism varies or
changes its response till an appropriate
behaviour is hit upon. Without varying the
responses, the correspondence for the
solution might never be elicited. If the
individual wants to solve a puzzle, he is to try
in different ways rather than mechanically
persisting in the same way. Throndike’s cat in
the puzzle box moved about and tried many
ways to come out till finally it hit the latch
with her paw which opened the door and it
jumped out.
5) The Law of Set or Attitude-
Learning is guided by a total set or attitude of
the organism, which determines not only what
the person will do but what will satisfy or
annoy him. For instance, unless the cricketer
sets himself to make a century, he will not be
able to score more runs. A student, similarly,
unless he sets to get first position and has the
attitude of being at the top, would while away
the time and would not learn much. Hence,
learning is affected more in the individual if
he is set to learn more or to excel.
6) The Law of Associative
Shifting-

According to this law we may get an


response, of which a learner is capable,
associated with any other situation to
which he is sensitive. Thorndike illustrated
this by the act of teaching a cat to stand
up at a command. A fish was dangled
before the cat while he said ‘ stand up’.
After a number trails by presenting the fish
after uttering the command ‘stand up’, he
later ousted the fish and the over all
command of ‘stand up’ was found
sufficient
to evoke the response in the cat by
standing up or her hind legs.
 According to this theory the task can be started from the easier aspect towards its
difficult side. This approach will benefit the weaker and backward children.
 A small child learns some skills through trial and error method only such as
sitting, standing, walking, running etc. In teaching also the child rectifies the writing
after commiting mistakes.
 In this theory more emphasis has been laid on motivation. Thus, before starting
teaching in the classroom the students should be properly motivated.
 Practice leads a man towards maturity. Practice is the main feature of trial and error
method. Practice helps in reducing the errors committed by the child in learning any
concept.
 Habits are formed as a result of repeitition. With the help of this theory the wrong
habits of the children can be modified and the good habits strengthened.
 The effects of rewards and punishment also affect the learning of the child. Thus, the
theory lays emphasis on the use of reward and punishment in the class by the teacher.
 The theory may be found quite helpful in changing the behaviour of the delinquent
children. The teacher should cure such children making use of this theory.
 With the help of this theory the teacher can control the negative emotions of the
children such as anger, jealousy etc.
 The teacher can improve his teaching methods making use of this theory. He must
observe the effects of his teaching methods on the students and should not hesitate to
make necessary changes in them, if required.
 The theory pays more emphasis on oral drill work. Thus, a teacher should conduct
oral drill of the taught contents. This help in strengthening the learning more.
Pavlov’s theory of
classical conditioning
ivan Pavlov

Ivan Pavlov was a famous


Russian psychologist
He lived from 1849 to
1936
He made many discoveries in
the psychology field
Pavlov won the Nobel Prize
in psychology in 1904
What is Classical Conditioning?
Classical Conditioning- A learned
reflex/response that you do when
evoked by a stimulus
Pavlov performed experiments
with dogs on to collect saliva
He noticed that the dogs would
salivate when powdered meat was
present
Pavlov associated the ringing of
a bell with the presence
of powdered meat
He rang the bell every time the
dogs were served food
Pavlov started ringing the bell
and the dogs would salivate
without the powdered meat
being present
Thus, a learned reflex
In the Classroom
 Teacherscan use classical conditioning to quiet down
the students
 Example:
 Firstday of class, students walk into class and teacher
sits at desk
 Teacher goes towards board when ready to teach and
children quiet down
 Second day of class, students are chatty when the
teacher goes to the board. Teacher asks to be quiet.
 Third
day of class, students are automatically quiet
when the teacher walks to the board
Students will be conditioned in
a positive manner
Students will learn the
expectations of their teachers
Students will learn the
expectations of their school
Operant Conditioning theory
(Skinner)
Experiment with Rats

MATERIALS: Skinner Box which is a small


chamber in which an animal learns how to make a
particular response for which the consequence
can be controlled by the researcher, it contains a
speaker, signal lights, lever, food dispenser which
dispenses pellets, and grid floors which can
deliver a mild electric shock. There is also a
cumulative recorder which records the frequency
and speed of the desired response which is made
by the pressing of a lever.
PROCEDURE: A hungry rat was
placed in the Skinner box and
every
time it pressed the lever it was
rewarded with a food pellet in the
food dish which was used to reinforce
its behaviour.
RESULTS: Rats scurried around the box
randomly touching parts of the floor and
wall. Eventually the rat accidently touched
the lever and a food pellet was released. The
same sequence was repeated and with more
trials the time taken to press the lever
eventually decreased. The random
movements of the rat eventually became
deliberate, rats then ate the food as fast as
they could press the lever.
Operant conditioning can be described as a
process that attempts to modify behaviour
through the use of positive and negative
reinforcement. Through Operant conditioning, an
individual makes a association between a
particular behaviour and a consequence.

Example- parents rewarding a child’s excellent grade


with candy or some other prize.
Reinforcement
is any event that strengthens or increases the behaviour it follows.
There are two kinds of reinforcers:

Positive reinforcers
are favourable events or outcomes that are presented after the
behaviour. In situations that reflect positive reinforcement, a
response or behaviour is strengthened by the addition of something,
such as praise or a direct reward.

Negative reinforcers
involve the removal of an unfavourable events or outcomes after the
display of a behaviour. In these situations, a response is
strengthened by the removal of something considered unpleasant

In both of these cases of reinforcement, the behaviour increases.


Schedules of Reinforcement
 Continuous reinforcement schedule

 Fixed interval reinforcement schedule

 Fixed ratio reinforcement schedule

 Variable reinforcement schedule


 Punishment, on the other hand, is the presentation of an adverse
event or outcome that causes a decrease in the behaviour it follows.
There are two kinds of punishment:

Positive punishment, sometimes referred to as punishment by


application, involves the presentation of an unfavourable event or
outcome in order to weaken the response it follows.

Negative punishment, also known as punishment by removal, occurs


when a favourable event or outcome is removed after a behaviour
occurs.

In both of these cases of punishment, the behaviour decreases.


Cognitivist Theory of Learning
Robert Gagne
Robert Gagne’s Hierarchy of Learning
1) Signal Learning
 Learnhow to respond to a signal, like Pavlov’s dog
(Pavlov’s classical conditioned response)
 Usually the response is emotional

2) Stimulus(S) – Response(R) Learning


 Learnprecise response to precise signal /
stimulus
 Different
from signal learning, signal learning leads to
involuntary responses, whereas the responses in S-R
learning are voluntarily controlled.
3) Psychomotor Connection Learning
 Occurs when a chain of stimuli and responses are formed
 Able to chain 2 or more stimulus-response

4) Verbal Association Learning


 Use terminology in verbal chains

5) Multiple Discrimination Learning


 Learn how to distinguish between similar stimuli
 Make different responses to each type of stimulus, even when they
may be perceptually similar.
6) Concept
Learning
 Singular / common response to an entire class of stimuli

7) Principle Learning
 Viewed as a chain of two or more concepts.
 Learn to apply rules

8) Problem Solving
 Highest learning type which lead to the discovery of higher order rules
 All other types of learning must have been completed for it to be present.
Robert Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction
Robert Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction
1) Gain Attention
 Use an “interest device” that grabs learner’s attention

2) Inform Learner of Objective


 Initiates the internal process of expectancy and helps
motivate the learner to complete the lesson

3) Stimulate Recall Prior Knowledge


 Associating new information with prior knowledge /
experiences can facilitate the learning process
Robert Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction

4)Present The Material


 new content is actually presented to the learner.
 Content should be chunked and organized
meaningfully, and typically is explained and then
demonstrated.

5)Provide Guidance For Learning


 To help learners encode information for long-term
storage, additional guidance should be provided along
with the presentation of new content
Robert Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction

6) Elicit Performance
 Practice by letting the learner do something with the newly acquired
behavior, skills, or knowledge

7) Provide Feedback
 Show correctness of the learner's response, analyze learner's

behavior.

8) Assess Performance
 Test / assessment to determine if the lesson has been learned.
Robert Gagne’s 9 Events of Instruction

9)Enhance Retention & Transfer


 Inform the learner about similar problem
situations, provide additional practice, put
the learner in a transfer situation, review the
lesson.
Ausubel’s
Meaningful
Verbal Learning
Theory
meaningful learning takes place when
an idea to be learned is related in
some sensible way to ideas that the
learner already possess. Ausubel
believed that before new materials can
be presented effectively, the
student’s cognitive structure
should be strengthened.
• Helps introduce a new lesson, unit, or course.

• Helps summarize major ideas in new lesson or unit.

• Based on student’s prior knowledge.

• Show similarities between old material and new material.

• Allows student to transfer or apply knowledge.

• Provides structure for new information.


• Helps teach complex concept that is similar to information
learned previously.
The process of meaningful learning

 Ausubel proposed four processes of meaningful learning:


- Derivative subsumption
- Correlative subsumption
- Superordinate learning
- Combinatorial learning

 Subsumption- is a process by which new materials related


to relevant ideas in the existing cognitive structure.
Derivative Subsumption
 New material or relationships can be derived from the existing structure. Information can
be moved in the hierarchy, or linked to other concepts or information to create new
interpretations or meaning.

• Suppose I have acquired a basic concept such as “tree” – trunk, branches, green
leaves, and may have some kind of fruit.
• Now, I learn about a kind of tree that I have never learn before “persimmon tree” –
Example conforms to my previous understanding of tree.
• My new knowledge of persimmon trees is attached to my concept of tree, without
(Stage 1) substantially altering that concept in any way.
• So, I had learned about the persimmon trees through the process of derivative
subsumption.
Correlative Subsumption
 New material is an extension or elaboration of what is already known.

• Suppose I encounter a new kind of tree that has red leaves, rather than green.
• In order to accommodate this new information, I have to alter or extend my concept
Example of tree to include the possibility of red leaves.
• I have learned about this new kind of tree through the process of correlative
(Stage 2) subsumption.
• In a sense, you might say that this is more “valuable” learning than of derivative
subsumption, since it enriches the higher-level concept.
Superordinate learning
 An individual is able to give a lot of examples of the concept but does not know the concept
itself until it is taught.

• Imagine that I was well acquainted with maples, oaks, apple trees, etc., but I did not
Example know, until I was taught, that these were all examples of deciduous trees.
• In this case, I already knew a lot of examples of the concept, but I did not know the
(Stage 3) concept itself until it was taught to me.
• This is superordinate learning.
Combinatorial learning
 The first three learning processes all
involve new information that "attaches" to
a hierarchy at a level that is either below
or above previously acquired knowledge.
Combinatorial learning is different; it
describes a process by which the new idea
is derived from another idea that is neither
higher nor lower in the hierarchy, but at the
same level.
• Now, suppose I learn about how
fish eggs are fertilized.
• I might relate it to previously
Example acquired knowledge about
(Stage 4) pollination in plants.
• Both of the ideas are different, but
it is related to the “process of
breeding”.
Conclusion

 Ausubel’s theory is concerned with how


individuals learn large amounts of meaningful
material from verbal/ textual (lecture/ books)
presentations in a school setting as opposed to
theories developed based on experimental
settings.
Bruner’s constructivist
theory

of learning
OBJECTIVE
explain the individual’s ability and development
to represent knowledge.

differentiate and discuss the kinds of


categories of identity, equivalence and coding.

 Explain how spiral curriculum works.


Constructivism
Constructivism is an epistemological belief
about what "knowing" is and how one
"comes to know."
Definition
“ Learning is an active process in
which learners construct
new
ideas or
concepts based upon their
current/past
knowledge’’
Bruner’s main concepts
1. Representation
Modes of Presenting Understanding:

a. Enactive representation- children learn about


the world through actions on physical objects and
the outcomes of these actions.
b. Iconic – obtained through using models and
pictures.
- the learner can now use
mental images to stand for certain objects or
events.

c. Symbolic representation- the


learner has developed the ability to think
abstract terms.
2. Spiral Curriculum- instruction needs to
be anchored on the learner’s cognitive capabilities.
Principles of instruction:
1. Readiness
2. Spiral Organization
3. Going beyond the information given

3. Discovering Learning- refers to


obtaining knowledge for oneself.
Major Aspects in the Theory of
Instruction:
a. Predisposition to learn- “ readiness for
learning”.
b. Structure of Knowledge- the ways in which a body
of knowledge can be structured so that it can be most
readily grasped by the learner.

c. Effective Sequencing- presentation of lessons in


increasing difficulty.
d. Reinforcement- rewards and punishment that should
be selected and paced appropriately.

4. Categorization- Bruner believed that


perception, conceptualization, learning, decision
making, and making inferences all involves
categorization.
Social learning
theory
Albert Bandura
Basic Social Learning
Concepts
 There are three core concepts at the heart of social
learning theory. First is the idea that people can learn
through observation. Next is the notion that internal
mental states are an essential part of this process.
Finally, this theory recognizes that just because
something has been learned, it does not mean that it
will result in a change in behavior.

Let's explore each of these concepts in greater depth.


1. People can learn through
observation
 Observational Learning

In his famous Bobo doll experiment, Bandura demonstrated


that children learn and imitate behaviors they have observed
in other people. The children in Bandura’s studies observed an
adult acting violently toward a Bobo doll. When the children
were later allowed to play in a room with the Bobo doll, they
began to imitate the aggressive actions they had previously
observed.
Bandura identified three basic
models of observational learning:

A live model, which involves an actual individual


demonstrating or acting out a behavior.
A verbal instructional model, which involves
descriptions and explanations of a behavior.
A symbolic model, which involves real or fictional
characters displaying behaviors in books, films,
television programs, or online media.
2. Mental states are
important to learning

Intrinsic Reinforcement
Bandura noted that external, environmental
reinforcement was not the only factor to influence
learning and behavior. He described intrinsic
reinforcement as a form of internal reward, such as pride,
satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment. This
emphasis on internal thoughts and cognitions helps
connect learning theories to cognitive developmental
theories. While many textbooks place social learning
theory with behavioral theories, Bandura himself describes
his approach as a 'social cognitive theory.
3. Learning does not necessarily
lead to a change in behavior
While behaviorists believed that
learning led to a permanent change in
behavior, observational learning
demonstrates that people can learn
new information without
demonstrating new behaviors.
The Modeling Process

Not all observed behaviors are effectively


learned. Factors involving both the model and
the learner can play a role in whether social
learning is successful. Certain requirements and
steps must also be followed. The following steps
are involved in the observational learning and
modeling process:
Attention:
 In order to learn, you need to be paying
attention. Anything that distracts your
attention is going to have a negative effect
on observational learning. If the model
interesting or there is a novel aspect to the
situation, you are far more likely to
dedicate your full attention to learning.
Retention:

 The ability to store information is also an


important part of the learning process.
Retention can be affected by a number of
factors, but the ability to pull up
information later and act on it is vital to
observational learning.
Reproduction:

 Onceyou have paid attention to the model


and retained the information, it is time to
actually perform the behavior you
observed. Further practice of the learned
behavior leads to improvement and skill
advancement.
Motivation:

 Finally,in order for observational learning to be successful, you


have to be motivated to imitate the behavior that has been
modeled. Reinforcement and punishment play an important role in
motivation. While experiencing these motivators can be highly
effective, so can observing other experience some type of
reinforcement or punishment. For example, if you see another
student rewarded with extra credit for being to class on time, you
might start to show up a few minutes early each day
Kohler’s
Insight
Learning
What is insight learning
Insight learning is the abrupt realization of a problem's
solution. Insight learning is not the result of trial and error,
responding to an environmental stimulus, or the result of
observing someone else attempting the problem. It is a
completely cognitive experience that requires the ability to
visualize the problem and the solution internally - in the
mind's eye, so to speak - before initiating a behavioural
response.
Experiment 1

1. In one experiment, Kohler put the chimpanzee,


“Sulthan” inside a cage and a banana was hung
from the roof of a cage. A box was placed
inside the cage. The chimpanzee tried to reach
the banana by jumping but could not succeed.
Suddenly he got an idea and used the box as a
jumping platform by placing it just below the
hanging banana.
2. In another experiment Kohler made this
problem complicated that two or three boxes
were required to reach the banana
3.In a more complicated experiment, a
banana was kept far outside the cage
and two sticks – one larger than the
other- were kept inside the box. When
failed to reach the banana by one stick,
with a sudden bright idea the
chimpanzee tried to reach the banana
by joining the two sticks.
STEPS IN INSIGHT LEARNING
1.Identifying the problem: The learner recognizes
the presence of an intervening obstacles on his way to the goal.

2.Understanding the Problem: The learner observes


the problematic situation, analyse it and perceive the
relation between the goal and the obstacles.

3.Incubation of Ideas: After analyzing the


total situation he reaches in conclusions by means of
hesitation, pause, concentrated attention etc.
4. Sustained Attention: The learner maintains
frequently recurrent attention to the goal and motivation.

5. Insight Development: In a certain moment there is


a sudden perception of the relationship in the total
situation and the organism directly performs the required
acts.
7. Steady Repetition of Adaptive Behaviour: After
getting an insightful solution, the individual tries to
implement it in another situation.

8. Comprehension of Ability: The learner reaches the


ability to understand the relevant parts of the situation
and overlooking the irrelevant ones.
