WHAT IS LEARNING?
Learning is a process, not a product
Learning involves change in knowledge,
beliefs, behaviours, attitudes, and habits
Learning implies use of cognitive processes,
like problem solving, analysis, creativity and
integration
Learning is not something done to students,
but rather something students do themselves

TWO ELEMENTS OF LEARNING

Thinking

Action
Knowledge

KNOWLEDGE

Factual the basic elements you need to know

Conceptual the interrelationships among the facts

that let them function together. (categories, principles,
models and theories)

Procedural the steps of how to do something. (how to

prepare a balance sheet, how to conduct an interview,
when to use a particular financial ratio)

Metacognitive knowledge about thinking and about a

persons own thinking in particular. (I learn best from
doing projects, or I write better essays if I make notes
beforehand.)

Lower Order Thinking Skills (What)

ENGAGEMENT
Your engagement with learning process will
determine your transformation
Different students are differently engaged;
therefore, they are at different levels of learning
Higher the participation, higher ownership,
higher learning
Your self-confidence and self-efficacy affect your
learning
Your sense of pride in your Institute also affects
your learning

INDIVIDUAL LEARNING
You have to study by

yourself

Every learning cannot take

place in class

Your study hours, including

classroom hours, are 12 hours a day

Pre-read is a prerequisite

Analyse case/exercise before a class

Review your learning everyday

Take notes

Discuss your doubts with your instructors

When in difficulty, do contact your Programme Director

Monitor your learning style and habits

TEAM LEARNING

Students learn both at individual and team levels

Different people bring different perspectives on a
subject matter
You can teach and learn from one another
Discussion, deliberation and debate hone your
thinking
Augmentation and persuasion are important
management tools of group problems solving
Team skills, such as collaboration, conflict
management, negotiation, and joint problem solving
also develop through team learning
In the corporate world, there is less independence.
Rather there is more interdependence

INTELLIGENCE

Most psychologists believe that intelligence is

changeable.
Theres

a new theory called Multiple Intelligences. It

basically says that people are smart in different ways.

SELF

These fall into three categories:

Self-Efficacy

Beliefs about future outcomes

Attribution

Theory

Beliefs about past outcomes

Self-Determinism

Beliefs about the amount of control one has

over events

Onus of learning is on the student rather than on
the teacher
Instructor is a facilitator
Focus on learning as well as learning to learn
Experiential learning, with focus on high
engagement, is the main pedagogical tool;
Lecture is the supplementary tool
Focus on vital aspects of contents
Peer to peer learning
Avenues and opportunities for interaction with
faculty outside the classroom
