WHAT IS LEARNING
Learning is a relatively lasting change in behavior that is the result of experience. It is the acquisition of
information, knowledge, and skills. When you think of learning, it's easy to focus on formal education
that takes place during childhood and early adulthood. But learning is an ongoing process that takes
place throughout life and isn't confined to the classroom.
i. Cognitive learning.
i. AFFECTIVE LEARNING involves our emotions toward learning and how that develops as we progress
from a low order process, such as listening, to a higher order process, like resolving an issue.
ii. PSYCHOMOTOR LEARNING involves our physicality and how that develops from basic motor skills to
intricate performance.
2. WHAT IS EDUCATION
Education is both the act of teaching knowledge to others and the act of receiving knowledge from
someone else. Education also refers to the knowledge received through schooling or instruction and to
the institution of teaching as a whole. Education has a few other senses as a noun.
i. Formal Education.
i. Formal education or formal learning usually takes place in the premises of the school, where a person
may learn basic, academic, or trade skills. Small children often attend a nursery or kindergarten but
often formal education begins in elementary school and continues with secondary school.
ii. Informal education is when you are not studying in a school and do not use any particular learning
method. In this type of education, conscious efforts are not involved. It is neither pre-planned nor
deliberate. It may be learned at some marketplace, hotel or at home.
iii. Non-formal education is imparted consciously and deliberately and systematically implemented. It
should be organized for a homogeneous group. Non-formal, education should be programmed to serve
the needs of the identified group. This will necessitate flexibility in the design of the curriculum and the
scheme of evaluation.
