Principles of Learning from Horne and Pine

1. Learning is an experience which occurs inside the


learner and is activated by the learner.
learning is not only a function of what a teacher does to
or say to, or provides for a learner
Students learn what they want to learn, they see what
they want to see and hear what they want to hear.
2. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning
and relevance of ideas.
Learning is a process which requires the
exploration od ideas in relation to self and
community.
3. Learning is a consequence of experience
People become responsible when they have
really assumed responsibility, they become
independent when they have experienced
independent behavior, they begin to feel
important when they are important to
somebody, they feel liked when someone
likes them,
4. Learning is a cooperative and collaborative
process. Cooperation fosters learning
Students enjoy functioning independently but they
also enjoy functioning interdependently.
5. Learning is an evolutionary process
behavioral change requires time and patience.
Learning situations characterized by free and open
communication, confrontation, acceptance, respect, the
right to make mistake, self-revelation, cooperation and
collaboration.
Change takes time. Let us not expect results overnight.
6. Learning is sometimes a painful process.
if growth is occur, pain is often necessary.
It may be good to make our students
realize that learning is a difficult task.
7. One of the richest resources for learning is
the learner himself.
each individual has an accumulation of
experiences, ideas, feelings and attitudes
which compromise a rich vein of material foe
problem solving and learning.
8. The process of learning is emotional as well
as intellectual.
People are feeling beings as well as thinking
beings and when their feelings and thoughts
are in harmony, learning is maximized.
9. The process of problem solving and
learning is highly unique and individual.
Each student has his own unique styles of
learning and solving problems.
