Learning Theory
Learning is commonly defined as a combination of constructivism, behaviorism, and cognitivism. It is a process in which emotional, environmental, and cognitive elements are brought together. It is a process in which one’s knowledge, views, and skills are changed. A theory that describes the learning processes of animals and human beings is known as a learning theory. Learning theories serve two functions. One is to provide conceptual framework and vocabulary. The other is to provide suggestions to solve practical problems. Learning theories do not provide us with the solutions to the problems but show the way and the direction to solve the problems. The main fields of learning theories are behaviorism, constructivism and cognitivism.

Cognitive learning is based on how the human mind processes and interprets information, depending on one’s learning environment. Societal demands play an important role in how we learn and retain information. Learning individually or as a group involves control over mind and, to a certain extent, body.
