Description

How do we learn, and what drives us to 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 class 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 help you identify your own learning style and support your own learning.
