My Learnings

The previous week the reporter discussed meaningful learning theory. The said theory emphasis that the individual learns by relating newly acquired information to what the learner already knows. By the use of this theory we can be able to guide the learners to remember information that provide the basic building blocks for new learning experiences. The reporter also sighted other related views learning like Meta cognitive view of learning, Constructivist theories of learning and Reception and Discovery of learning theory. The reporter also explains the condition of learning regarding motivation. Motivation refers to the internal state or condition that influences behavior and gives direction in relation to physical conditions, interest, attitudes and aspiration. And as an educator we are the one who would motivate our student to pursuit what they want, to let them feel that they can do it and to let them know that the key to their success is just in their hands.

Our next reporter tackled about the characteristics of learning. According to him there are three (3) characteristics of learning namely: Fundamental, Interactive and Developmental. These three characteristic gives strong responses to the learners. The fundamental which is the question of knowledge by systematic study is basically a type of relationship existing between stimulus and responses. The interactive which is the assumption is that it is only when the individual reacts to the stimulus in the environment that learning is likely to occur. And the developmental who is concerned to growth and development involves physical and functional. He added also the factors that contribute to learning; these are Drive and Motivation, Positive transfer of learning, Usefulness of materials, the number of sense involved and feedback or knowledge. This all information’s are important in teaching. If we apply this in our teaching then we could be an effective educators and it is easier for us to adjust to the environment of the students or their behavior.

Learning

 The previous week we start reporting and what I’ve learned to their report? I learned a lot, the reporter discusses how a man learned and they also included the processes of learning. We found out that learning is an enrichment of experiences, an interaction of the environment with the organism and a lifetime process. The reporters also elaborate the theories of learning namely: Behaviorist theory, Organismic and Gestalt Field theories, Information processing theory and the nature of learning. Through this information we can determine the capability of a person to learn and understand why there are people who are slow learner and we may able to apply new technics in order for them to understand the lessons when we start teaching next semester. As an educator we must consider a lot to make our students gain more learning’s and develop their skills. That’s all, thank you and God bless.
