Learning
is a creative ongoing process where the learner takes an active role in the
development of his or her ability and is willing to experiment, discover and try
out new ideas. Every child has the potential to learn. As an educator we have
to take on the role of facilitating this process by encouraging, and stimulating
our learners potential and creating conditions necessary to foster this growth.
During learning the learner has to take responsibility and assume certain roles
because learning is a voluntary act. Learning is also based on experience. When
something new is experienced we actively create a set of mental schemas to
incorporate this new information in order to make sense of it and store it in
memory. Social interactions are also an important contributor towards learning.
