Ø Learning Characteristis

An individual starts learning as soon as he is born. He continues learning throughout his life. Learning is the acquisition of habits, knowledge, attitudes and skills. It involves new ways of doing things and attempts to adjust to new situations.

Yoakman and Simpson have described the following nine important characteristics of learning.

(1) Learning is growth. The individual grows as he lives. This growth implies i both physical as well as mental development of the learner.

(2) Learning is adjustment. Learning enables the individual to adjust himself properly, with the new situations. 

(3) Learning is purposeful. All kinds of learning is goal-oriented. The individual acts with some purpose. He learns through activities.

(4) Learning is experience. The individual learns through experiences. Human life is fall of experiences. All these experiences provide new knowledge, understanding, skills and attitudes.

(5) Learning is intelligent. Mere cramming without proper understanding does not make learning. Thus meaningless efforts do not produce permanent results. Any work done mechanically cannot yield satisfactory learning outcomes. Learning therefore must be intelligent.

Ø Linguistic Factors

Linguistic factors in learning are normally subsumed within the field of educational linguistics. This field encompasses research into multilingualism; language situations and policies including medium of instructions; how linguistic practices and factors can guide effective pedagogy; and classroom discourse analysis for effective teaching and learning. Linguistic factors in learning also include more current approaches in relation to linguistics variables and learning (dis)abilities.

Ø Learning Processes

To learn is to acquire knowledge or skill. Learning also may involve a change in attitude or behavior. Children learn to identify objects at an early age; teenagers may learn to improve study habits; and adults can learn to solve complex problems. Pilots and aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs) need to acquire the higher levels of knowledge and skill, including the ability to exercise judgment and solve problems. The challenge for the aviation instructor is to understand how people learn, and more importantly, to be able to apply that knowledge to the learning environment. This handbook is designed as a basic guide to educational psychology. This chapter addresses that branch of psychology directly concerned with how people learn.
