THEORITICAL FRAMEWORK

1. Perception of Self-Learning Module

a. The Nature of Perception

Perception is the world's sensory experience. It entails both identifying environmental


stimuli and taking action in response to them. We obtain knowledge about the properties
and elements of the world that are vital to our survival through the perceptual process.
According to James Rowland Angell "the consciousness of particular material things
present to sense."

According to Joseph Reitz, “Perception includes all those processes by which an


individual receives information about his environment—seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting
and smelling. The study of these perpetual processes shows that their functioning is
affected by three classes of variables—the objects or events being perceived, the
environment in which perception occurs and the individual doing the perceiving.”

On the basis of the above definition, it can be concluded that perception is a process of
how a person selects, organizes and interprets inputs of information and existing
experiences, and then interprets them to create the full means of description. In other
words, perception is the way to transform our physical energy of the environment into
meaningful experience.

b. The Nature of Self-Learning


According to Malcom Knowles, self-learning is defined as: “a process by
which individuals take the initiative, with or without the assistance of others, in
diagnosing their learning needs, formulating learning goals, identifying human
and material resources for learning, and evaluating learning outcomes”.
Research reported by Harvard Business Review also reveals that we ‘rarely
grow alone’ and that we are better equipped to learn and extend our
knowledge as a collective.
This is powering the growth of like-minded networks, especially within
organizations and teams. However, as we seek more meaningful pursuits in
our lives, the ability to learn for ourselves extends far past simply the
workplace.

c. The Nature of Modular Learning


Modular learning is the approach where the focus is on learning outcomes,
and its success relies on connecting outcomes to student learning and course
design. These areas combine to make a course constructively aligned as
discussed by Biggs (1999).
