Laws (Principles) of Learning
\nThorndike, Edward L. (1974-194)
\n\u2022 Edward L. Thoseptember 18, 2013he laws of learning are based on his experiments on animal learning.
\n\u2022 Thorndike’s laws are also referred to as s-r learning.
\n\u2022 Learning laws (principles) are: \u2022 Readiness \u2022 Exercise \u2022 Effect \u2022 Primacy \u2022 Intensity \u2022 Recency \u2022 Freedom
\nPrimary legislation
\nThe following are the three primary laws of learning: \u2022 Law of effect \u2022 Law of exercise \u2022 Law of readiness
\nThe law of effect.
\n\u2022 When learning is accompanied by a pleasant or satisfying feeling, learning is strengthened.
\n\u2022 Learning suffers when it is associated with an unpleasant feeling.
\n\u2022 Learning occurs properly when it results in satisfaction and pleasure for the learner.
\n\u2022 The classroom experiences should be satisfying and enjoyable. The teacher must enjoy his or her teaching job.
\n\u2022 Learning experiences and other activities must be relevant and understandable in terms of the learners’ personal lives.
\n\u2022 School activities should be organized in order of increasing difficulty so that students can progress without failing.
\nThe exercise law
\n\u2022 According to this principle, the s-r connection is strengthened by use and weakened by disuse.
\n\u2022 It is divided into two parts: the law of use and the law of disuse.
\n\u2022 Things that are repeated frequently are remembered the best.
\n\u2022 Complex tasks are not learned in a single session by students.
\n\u2022 At reasonable intervals, the instructor must repeat important subject matter.
\n\u2022 The law of readiness states that motivation is required to form an association or exhibit changed behavior.
\n\u2022 People learn best when they are physically, mentally, and emotionally prepared to learn, and they do not learn well when there is no reason for them to learn.
\nAdditional laws (principles) Primacy law
\n\u2022 What is learned first leaves a lasting impression.
\n\u2022 What is taught must be correct the first time around.
\n\u2022 “Unlearning” incorrect first impressions is more difficult than teaching them correctly the first time.
\n\u2022 What the student learns must be procedurally correct and applied the first time it is used.
\nThe law of recency
\n\u2022 The most recent information is remembered the best.
\n\u2022 Frequent review and summarization aid in remembering the material covered.
\n\u2022 The sequence of lectures within a course of instruction is frequently determined by this principle.
\nThe intensity law
\n\u2022 The more intensely taught material is more likely to be retained.
\n\u2022 A substitute will teach a student less than the real thing.
\n\u2022 In the classroom, demonstrations, skits, and role playing enhance students’ learning experiences.
\n\u2022 The best way to learn something is to learn it freely.
\n\u2022 The greater the freedom enjoyed by students in class, the greater their intellectual and moral advancement.
\nConclusion \u2022 Understanding these laws allows the teacher to gain a better understanding of the students’ learning behaviors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
