5 Principles of Learning

The document outlines 5 principles of learning: participation, repetition, and relevance. It states that learning is most effective when learners actively participate, have opportunities for practice and repetition, and find the material meaningful by relating it to real problems. Participation improves motivation and engages more senses to reinforce learning. Repetition helps gain proficiency and minimize forgetting. Relevance motivates learning when training helps solve current issues rather than just being presented as important.

5 Principles of Learning

Learning principles are guidelines for the ways in which people learn most
effectively. The more these principles are reflected in training, the more
effective training is likely to be.

5 principles of learning are;

1. Participation.

2. Repetition.

3. Relevance.

1. Participation

Learning should permit and encourage active participation of the learner.


Participation improves motivation and apparently engages more senses that
reinforce the learning process. As a result of participation, people learn more
quickly and retain that learning longer.

For example, most people never forget how to ride a bicycle because they
actively participated in the learning process.

The learning activities should be experiential rather than just informational.

Therefore, the trainers should arrange the physical surroundings to facilitate


small group interaction and promote the sharing of ideas.

2. Repetition

An important principle of the learning is to provide the learner with the


opportunity for practice and repetition. To gain the full benefit of
training learned behaviors must be overlearned to ensure smooth
performance and minimum of forgetting at a later date.
Proficiency in learning and retaining new skills is improved when individuals
visualize themselves performing the new behavior.

3. Relevance

Learning is helped when the material to be learned is meaningful. The learning


should be problem-centered rather than content centered.

People are motivated to learn when training is immediately relevant to help


them solve a current problem. Learning something just because someone says
“it is important” is not as motivating.

Motivation: Definition, Features, Objectives


Motivation is the processes that account for an individual’s intensity, direction,
and persistence of effort toward attaining a goal. The main features of
motivation are a goal-oriented continuous process and a psychological
phenomenon that converts abilities into performance.

The word “motivation” comes from the Latin word “movere”, which means
move.

Human motives are based on needs, whether consciously felt. Sonic are
primary needs, such as the physiological needs for water, air, food, sleep, and
shelter.

“Motivation” is a general term applying to the entire class of drives, desires,


needs, wishes and similar forces.
