About this ebook
Sitting inside a class, one student finds it easy to absorb
information while another struggles with it. While one learner
may excel in a particular subject another may do well in all
the subjects. Trainees go through the same training to be
graded differently according to the level of information they
have absorbed and the understanding they show. Learning is a
complex process.
It takes years for a person to understand certain subjects and
he still works his way out of life with limited information
because it is difficult to imbibe the overwhelming amount of
knowledge present in the world today.
Depending on how information is absorbed, processed and
retained, a number of learning theories have been formulated
which help us understand the process of learning in individuals.
A number of factors decide the manner in which knowledge is
acquired or information is processed by a person changing
their views on certain subjects and forming new views about
certain things.
Learning is related with different parts of the brain which plays
an important role in processing any information that we receive.
Every individual processes the information differently based on
their strengths and weaknesses.
Educational psychology endeavors to gain an understanding
about the different behaviors of an individual to a piece of
information. This is used in analyzing the type of learning that
can affect the individual the most.
Different schools of thoughts are available for finding out how
education and information is absorbed by a learner. This books
aims at exploring the different learning theories that currently
exist and understanding the roots of the theory and gaining an
insight into the reasons why these theories exist.
