Learning Process

Creating and organizing a learning scenario or environment is learning process. It is concerned with the dynamic views of learning as well as the sequences. Modern point of view see learning process as a complex process where an individual processes information and keeps it in mind and performs the actions with the information. As we know, that learning is a behavioral change which results from the experience achieved by individual by responding with the environment. Hence we can say that learning is not a product but a process. Learning is a process that goes through certain and specific steps. To better understand a students learning, a teacher should be aware of the following learning steps:

Goal:

This is the factor which drives a person to perform actions. Goals can be urges, which creates unlimited needs, which motivates the learner interact with the surrounding environment and achieve his/her targets. It can be viewed as the fulfillment of needs through satisfaction. In a learning process, learner may wish to learn new things which are required for him to make the performance in a right order. When learning is taken as the goal oriented, and then it will direct the learner to face the stimuli. Hence, learner should have a specific goals and aims in his/her life. Person without goals and aims are considered as animal in our society.

Stimuli:

A person can be seen or viewed with various stimuli in the form of object or symbols to which he performs or responds selectively through his/her sensory organs: Ear, Nose, Eyes, Tongue and Skins. This guides individual to decide which stimuli to perform or which stimuli to apply or which new behavior to learn. A teacher needs to help learner in the selection and arrangement of learning stimuli by providing maximum opportunity. This can help learner to identify their stimuli and they can easily select the best one or needed ones from them.  

Perception:

Perception is the process whereby individual select, organizes and interprets the stimuli and obtains meaning from such stimuli. In other word, process of absorbing stimuli in an organized and meaningful can be taken as perceiving. After the selection of suitable stimuli, an individual organizes and interprets it in a more meaningful way. Hence, we can say that individuals’ behavior is affected by the manner in which a person perceives.
