Study Notes

Learning Environment: The Library Perspective

Learning environment is a significant part of the learning process, crucial for cognitive, psychomotor, and affective learning outcomes. It's important to understand this role in educational development, particularly in changing social contexts like Nigeria.
Learning is fundamental to society, with information and knowledge key elements. A robust library's collections, accessibility, and resource use are vital for effective teaching, learning, and research.
Learning is defined as a relatively permanent change in behavior, resulting from activity, practice, experience, or environmental exposure. It's not just temporary changes like sleep deprivation, fatigue, or drug/alcohol use.
Behaviourists view learning as an associational connection between stimulus and response; learners are passive reactors to external factors.
Cognitive theorists believe learners are active participants with inherent capabilities; learning is a process of acquiring, understanding and applying skills, knowledge, and concepts.
Learning is a complex, ongoing process, often not immediately apparent. It's not just task completion, but also about developing skills, attitudes, and knowledge. Learning is a social activity that involves building connections.
Learning is intellectual, social, and emotional, often happening by design and by chance.
Learning is crucial for empowerment, freeing individuals from ignorance and enhancing intellectual capacity. This learned knowledge allows for addressing everyday problems. It also promotes understanding of complex issues through methods like bibliotherapy (using written materials to promote solution to problems).
Blooms' taxonomy of cognitive domains includes Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis, Synthesis, and Evaluation for progressing, hierarchical learning.
There are two broad levels of learning; Passive learning (receiving information through memorization and repetition) and Active learning (engaging with the material through questioning, application, synthesis, analysis, & evaluation).
Factors influencing learning include internal factors like previous experiences, knowledge, readiness, personality, and physical condition. External factors include the environment, time, task characteristics, cues, incentive, and feedback.

Active and Passive Learning

Passive learning involves receiving and memorizing information.
Active learning involves actively engaging with and applying knowledge.
Active learning methods include: attending class, taking notes, reading assignments, listening in class, asking questions, recording accurate notes, attempting problems, and using all class time.
