 LEARNING
AN INTRODUCTION
Learning is understood as the
modification of behaviour through
practice, training or experience.
 LEARNING IS PROCESS AND NOT A
PRODUCT.
 LEARNING IS IMPROVEMENT.
 LEARNING IS MATURATION.
 LEARNING IS ADAPTATION.
 DEFINITIONS
 According to NORMAN MUNN,
“Learning can be defined as the
process of being modified more or less
permanently by what happens in the
world around us, by what we do or
ehat we observe”.
 Accordingto FRED LUTHANS “Learning
can be defined as relatively permanent
change in behaviour that occurs as a result
of experience or reinforced practice.”
 According to BERNARD, BASS &
JAMES VAUGHN, “Learning is a
relatively permanent change in
behaviour which occurs as a result of
experience”.
“LEARNING IS A LIFE LONG PROCESS”

This simple meaning of learning

needs to be supplemented with
some important concepts of
learning so as to make its import
clear.
 CONCEPT
 Learning as used here, refers to
concerted activity that increases
the capacity and willingness of
individuals.
 learning empowers individuals
and organizations to make wise
choices, solve problems and
break new ground.
 It also encompasses the physical,
cognitive, emotional and social
development of children in the
earliest years of their lives.
 It has been observed that
practically all the behavior of
individuals in an organization is
either directly or indirectly learnt.
 PRICIPLES OF
LEARNING
 Principles of learning are very useful in
order to impart maximum knowledge
and skills.
 Each principle should be interpreted and
applied carefully in full consideration of
the particular task being learned and the
context in which the learning takes
place.
LEARNING PRINCIPLES

 Allhuman beings can learn.

 An individual must be motivated to
learn.
 Learning is active but not passive.
 Learners need reinforcement of
correct behaviour.
 Time must be provided to practice
learning.
 LEARNING
PRINCIPLES
 Learning is closely related to
attention and concentration.
 Standards of performance should be
set for the learner.
 Learners may acquire knowledge
more rapidly with guidance.
Feedback ensures improvement in
speed and accuracy of learning.
 LEARNING
PRINCIPLES
 Accuracy deserves generally more
emphasis than speed.
 Learning is a cumulative process.
 Learning is an adjustment on the part
of an individual.
 Learning should be relatively based
and.
 Learning should be a goal oriented.
 NATURE
 LEARNING INVOLVES CHANGE
 NOT ALL CHANGES REFLECT LEARNING
 LEARNING IS REFLECTED IN BEHAVIOUR
 THE CHANGE IN BEHAVIOUR SHOULD
OCCURS AS A RESULT OF EXPERIENCE,
PRACTICE OR TRAINING
 THE PRACTICE OR EXPERIENCE MUST BE
REINFORCED IN ORDER FOR LEARNING TO
OCCUR.
 CONCLUSION

“LEARNING IS AN IMPORTANT
COMPONENT OF
ORGANISATION BEHAVIOUR
ITS IMPACT ON INDIVIDUAL
BEHAVIOUR.”
