Description
How do we learn? Is learning simply the storing of information in the mind, or is there more to it? Is everyone capable of learning, and what role does intelligence play in the acquisition of knowledge? What drives us to learn, especially in the presence or absence of role models? In this in-depth module on Learning Theories, you will explore different learning styles, the process of conditioning in both animals and humans, and the impact of family and environmental factors on what and how we learn. You’ll delve into how learning is transferred or extinguished over time, and how social observation, reinforcement, rewards, and everyday environmental experiences shape our behaviour.
This class is highly recommended for those working with or teaching children, adults, and even animals, as well as those interested in tailoring educational plans for optimal outcomes. For personal interest, this specialised knowledge will empower you to identify your own learning style, enhance brain development, and enrich life experiences.
