Principles of Learning
1.
Self-activity or Active-response
an effective way to change the behavior of people is to have them participate
actively in doing what is to be learned
2.
Practice or Repetition
a learning activity experienced many times tends to be remembered longer and to be
recalled easier, "practice makes perfect"
3.
Association
"Experiences that occur together tend to recur together." To bring about change
requires more than that pointing out the advantage of a new variety or techniques but
"breaking the spell" of the old.
4.
Timing
Learning takes place more readily when a fact is taught either at the time or just
before the time when it can be immediately used.
5.
Satisfaction
We tend to remember those things which bring satisfaction and avoid those which
bring annoyance.
6.
Reward
It tends to maintain and strengthen any connection which leads to them.
7.
Motivation
Without drives, an organism does not behave, and hence does not learn. Meaningful
learning is easier than senseless learning by permitting or making the learner see the
end sought by practice and experiment.
8.
Apperception
Learner perceives new in terms of old. Previous learning always sets the stage for
subsequent learning.
9.
Transfer
A person learns through transfer to the extent that the abilities acquired in one
situation help in another. Application of a perceived relationship to another situation
in which it is applicable is the equivalent of transfer or training.
10.
Readiness
When an individual is ready to act, it is painful for him not to act; but when he is not
ready to act, it is equally painful for him to act.
11.
Set
Past experience keeps individual from using objects in different ways. A bad
attitude retards learning, favorable attitude accelerate learning. Post failures are
"sets".

13.
Individual Differences
No two individuals are exactly alike, people vary in their ability to benefit from one
teaching method or technique.
14.
Contrast
We tend to remember best those things which sharp contrast to one another.
15.
Recency
The more recent an experience is, the more readily it can be recalled.

performance in most fields.

Providing for recall and long term retention through systematic revise of verbal
material and spaced practice of skills is essential.
