2. What is Learning?
2.1 Different views on 'What is learning?'
University students hold different views on 'What is learning?' Some examples are:
Student A:
Learning is to know more. Get more knowledge.
Student B:
I have to learn to do the tasks, e.g. using formulae to solve numerical problems, following procedures to perform a technique.
Student C:
I am not satisfied with just knowing how to do something. I really learn only when I understand the meaning behind the formulae and the procedures.
Student D:
When I have really learned something, I am able to see things in a new way.
