Learning

Learning has a loose definition from being defined as the acquirement of new knowledge to a change caused to ones thoughts due to previous experience. Your definition of learning varies depending on your school of thought on the issue for example the behaviourist approach versus the cognitive approach. Other schools of thought on the subject are the constructionist, humanist and design based. Many people have an opinion on what learning is, how it occurs and how it can be measured. However from all their arguments a definite definition still evades them and it seems the best view of learning can be taken from a compromised standpoint, this seems to be the recent movement in the area as cognitive and and behaviourist theorists combine to get a more rounded view of the topic. The study of learning is gaining a larger role in education training as the focus shifts from how information should be thought to how it is learned. The idea behind this appears to be if we understand how material is learned we can deliver it to accommodate this learning much more effectively.
