1. Learning is defined as a relatively lasting change in potential behavior or knowledge due to experience or practice. It involves modifying existing knowledge, skills, habits, or tendencies through experience over one's lifetime.
2. Key characteristics of learning include that it is continuous, pervasive in all aspects of life, involves the whole person socially, emotionally, and intellectually, and responds to incentives like rewards.
3. The learning process involves a motive or drive, an attractive goal, and an obstacle that creates a block to achieving the goal which necessitates changing behavior. Factors like maturation, attention, perception, and motivation affect an individual's ability to learn. Fatigue can also impact learning if not addressed.

Concept of learning
• Learning, in psychology, the process by
which a relatively lasting change in potential behaviour occurs because of practice or experience. • Learning is also a process of acquiring modifications in existing knowledge, skills, habits, or tendencies through experience, practice, or exercise. Characteristics of Learning 1. Learning is a continuous modification of behaviour continues throughout life 2. Learning is pervasive. It reaches into all aspects of human life. 3. Learning involves the whole person, socially, emotionally & intellectually. 4. Learning is responsive to incentives. In most cases positive incentives such as rewards are most effective than negative incentives such as punishments. PROCESS OF LEARNING Learning is a process. It is carried out through steps. Learning process involves –
(a) A motive or a drive.
(b) An attractive goal.
(c) A block to the attainment of the goal.
(a) A motive or a drive: Motive is the dynamic force that energizes behaviour and compels an individual to act. We do any activity because of our motives or our needs. When our need is strong enough, we are compelled to strive for its satisfaction. (b) Goal: Every individual has to set a definite goal for achievement. We should always have a definite goal for achieving anything. If a definite goal is set then learning becomes purposeful and interesting. (c) Obstacle / block / barrier: The obstacle or block or the barrier is equally important in the process of learning. The obstacle or the barriers keep us away from attaining the goal.Now, you will think how the obstacle can be important in the process of learning. If you face no difficulty of any kind in attaining the goal, you will not bring any change in your present behaviour or stock of knowledge or skills. Thus, the block or the barrier is an essential step in the learning process Factors affecting learning • MATURATION AS FACTOR IN LEARNING
Maturation is defined as “growth that
proceeds regularly within a wide range of environmental conditions.” Learning is possible only when a certain stage of maturation is also reached. For example, However much we practice a six month old child with walking exercises, the infant cannot walk. The muscles have not matured enough for the infant to learn ATTENTION AND PERCEPTION AS FACTOR IN LEARNING • Attention is always present in conscious life and is common to all types of mental activity. It is the characteristics of all conscious life.
• Dumville defined Attention as the
concentration of consciousness upon one subject rather than another. Significance of Attention It is basic need for all types of learning. Every moment of yours is attracted by many stimuli of the environment. Your mind is not able to concentrate on all the stimuli at the same time. It is because of attention that you are able to concentrate on important Consider aaspect of a single classroom, whereobject. there are lot of things like, desk, bench, chalk, black board, duster, fan and charts. When a teacher shows you a particular chart, you pay attention to that. It shifts the focus of learner to the chart this helps them to learn more about it. Therefore, it can be said that attention helps you to clear the vivid objects.
• It arouses interest in learners to learn a particular thing.
• It increases efficiency of the learner • It motivates learners to learn more • It make the learners ready to learn • It brings a state of alternates in learners for doing task • It helps the learner to perceive events or ideas.
Thus, attention is a necessary condition for any task
in the classroom. It is the hub of entire learning process. It is essential for learning as well as understanding well. PERCEPTION Perception is the process through which a person is exposed to information, attends to the information, and comprehends the information. Meaning: Perception is the mental process by which you get knowledge of external world. You receive innumerable impression through the sense organs. You select some of these and organise them into unit, which convey some meaning. The transformation of sensation into organised pattern is called as perception. Importance of Perception in Learning • Learning depends on an individual’s precepts. If you are able to perceive a thing correctly then right learning will take place. • Learning will proceed in a proper direction due to correct precepts.Learning depends upon accurate and efficient perception. • Perception is an active state of mind in which it reacts on sensation and interprets it. The basis of perception is sensation. MOTIVATION AS FACTOR IN LEARNING Motivation is defined as an inspiration that propels someone into an action. According to Lahey, It is an internal state or condition that activates and gives direction to our thoughts, feelings, and actions Motivation is a process by which the learner’s internal energies are directed toward various goal objects in his/her environment. These energies push an individual in achieving his goals. If he is motivated,he will work tirelessly to achieve his Classroom Implications of Motivation • In the classroom, students like being recognized or respected.When their views are recognized or respected, they will have their confidence boosted and developed. • When the teacher praises his/her students for doing well in their study or assignment, they will be spurred to sustain that effort. • The teacher should also provide/plan for extra-curricular activities for his/her students. When the teacher does this, the students will have opportunity of establishing a genuine interaction among them. Besides, they will be able to display their hidden talents. FATIGUE AS FACTOR OF LEARNING Fatigue is the state of reduced interest and desire. It is a psychological state of exhaustion. Reduce efficiency or capacity of body as well as mind is implicit in this phenomenon. It is quite essential to do away with fatigue in the process of learning as fatigue becomes an obstacle in the task to be performed or at least reduces its rate of progress. Ways of Removing Fatigue 1. Sleep: Getting proper 8 hrs of sleep is necessary. 2. Relaxation: sitting or lying in a relaxed position, doing activities which are favourites also eliminate fatigue. 3. Balance of work and rest 4. Change in the nature of work 5. Recreation 6. Change in Emotions
