WHAT IS LEARNING?[size=24pt][/size]
Learning takes place when there is a change in a child behavior. The change may not be directly observable but can noticeable in the process. Learning is based on observation of behavioral changes that result from a person's interaction with their environment.
An individual's learning is achievable when the laws of learning are apply,
THE LAWS OF LEARNING
Edward L. Thorndike in the early 1900's postulated several "Laws of Learning," that seemed generally applicable to the learning process. Since that time, other educational psychologists have found that the learning process is indeed more complex than the "laws" identified. However, the "laws" do provide the teachers with insight into the learning process that will assist in providing a rewarding experience to the students..

THE THREE MAIN LAWS OF LEARNING.
1. LAW OF READINESS:
The Law of Readiness state that a child can learn when physically and mentally ready to receive stimuli. Children learn best when they are ready to learn, and they will not learn much if they see no reason for learning. When a child is ready to learn, they become more willing to participate in the learning process, and this simplifies the teacher job.

2. LAW OF EXERCISE:
The Law of Exercise stresses the idea that repetition is basic to the development of adequate responses; things most often repeated are easiest remembered. The mind can rarely recall new concepts or practices after a single exposure, but every time it is practiced, learning continues and is enforced. The teacher must provide opportunities for the child to practice or repeat the task.


3. 3. LAW OF EFFECT:
This law involves the emotional reaction of the child. Learning will always be much more effective when a feeling of satisfaction, pleasantness, or reward accompanies or is a result of the learning process. Learning is strengthened when it is accompanied by a pleasant or satisfying feeling and that it is weakened when it is associated with an unpleasant experience. An experience that produces feelings of defeat, frustration, anger or confusion in a child is unpleasant. Teachers should be cautious about using negative motivation.
