DEFINITION OF LEARNING
Learning is viewed as a natural process and a
personal act to fulfil one's potential.
Learning is the level of development one can
achieve with the assistance of others.
Learning is the ability to use and create
network connections to find and share
information to achieve one's learning goals.
Learning is an observable and measurable
response to external stimuli.
Learning occurs through the internal processing
of information which involves re-organisation of
the information received.
4. Provide your own example of learning that supports the definition of learning as defined by
social constructivism theory.
