By knowing some principles on

how learning takes place, we will be
guided on how to teach. Below are
some principles of learning from
Horne and Pine (1990).
1. Learning is a experience which occurs inside the learner and
is activated by the learner.

 Learning is a cooperative and collaborative process.

Cooperation fosters learning.

Learning is not only a function of what a teacher does

to, or says to, or provides for a learner.
Then it must be wise to engage the learners in an
activity that is connected to their life experiences.

 It is unwise to impose learning on our students. No

amount of imposition can cause student learning.

2. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning
and relevance of ideas.

 Students more readily internalize and implement concepts

and ideas which are relevant to their needs and problems.
People enjoy functioning independently but they also enjoy functioning interdependently.

 It is necessary that teacher relate lessons to the needs.

Learning is a process which requires the exploration of ideas

in relation to self and community.
3. Learning (behavioral change) is a consequence of experiences.

Experience is the best teacher,

then teacher should make use of
People become experiential learning. We have not
responsible when they to experience everything in order
to learn. We learn from others
have really assumed people’s experiences, too, good as
responsibility. well as not so good experiences.
4. Learning is a cooperative and collaborative process.
Cooperation fosters learning.

 Two heads are better than one.

People enjoy functioning independently but they also

enjoy functioning interdependently.
Teacher should make use more cooperative and
collaborative approaches. This way, students are taught
to live together and learn independently.
 5. Learning is an evolutionary process

Behavioral change requires time and patience… Learning

situations characterized by free and open communication,
confrontation, acceptance, respect, the right mistakes, self
revelation, cooperation personal involvement, freedom from
threat, and trust in the self are evolutionary in nature.

6. Learning is sometimes a painful process

Behavioral change often calls for giving up the old and

comfortable ways of believing, thinking, and valuing. It is not easy
to discard familiar ways of doing things and incorporate new
behavior.

7. One of the richest resources for learning is

the learner himself

In a day and age when so much emphasis is being placed upon

instructional media, books, and speakers as resources for learning,
we tend to overlook perhaps the richest source of all – the learner
himself.
8. The process of learning is emotional as
well as intellectual

Learning affected by the total state

of the individual.

9. The process of problem solving and learning

are highly unique and individual

Each person has his own unique styles

of learning problem solving.

because life never stops
teaching.”
