Now to know sumthing and make a living out of it
we need to learn that thing.We meet and see so many
people around us.Some learn to become failures and sum learn nothing but are highly
successful in life..
But how do we learn?
There are many theories in psychology on learning methods such as Piaget’s
Developmental Theory
Constructivism ,Right Brain/Left Brain Thinking,Brain-Based Learning ,Multiple
Intelligences
Neuroscience,Observational Learning,Behaviorism etc..
Let us discuss them later in detail ,but first let us
see the basics of learning..
We all are empty vessels which need to be filled.We all learn in different
ways..
There are basically three different type of learners.

Visual learners learn best what they see in pictures,maps,
diagram,films ,flow charts etc."Show me i"ll understand".
So if you are a visual learner try to find sketches,photographs,videos,C.D's or
any
visual representation of the course material you want to study.
Verbal learners(Audio
learners)
Verbal learners get more out of words--written and spoken explanations.
Our traditional teaching style is based upon this style.The teacher teaches and
students listen.
So if you are a verbal learner working in groups can be effective.You can gain
understanding by
hearing your classmates explain.
Kinesthetic learners (action learners)
: Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing
or experiencing.They acquire information fastest when participating in a
drama presentation, science lab, dance, or other active activity.
Many males maintain their kinesthetic abilities through out their lives.
Some kinesthetic learners have a hard time sitting in the
classroom.
Many learners use both their audio and video
abilities.But good learners
are capable of processing the information presented iall the three
styles.
