Introduction to Theories of Learning

A number of definitions exist for the term “learning” and these definitions differ in the way they are put forward in different theories. However, the fundamental is the same. Learning refers to the process of increasing ones knowledge through the process of reading and the use of senses. The major debate that existed is whether learning is a product or a process. For us, learning is not an end; it is a process through which an individual increases his stock of knowledge and uses that knowledge to adapt into new environments and in defining a set of principles that he uses in his life.
