Learning: Principles and Applications

Learning theory is not exclusively the domain of any particular discipline but stems and is applied by both the social sciences and humanities, as well as the natural sciences. More is known about how learning happens than about what it is per se. Learning means change; it is active, not passive. Learning theory is an applied science and it is interdisciplinary in nature, which adds to its complexity.

According to Kidd, (4) much of what has been learned about learning in adults can be summarized by referring to what he calls "the Three R's of adult education - relevancy, relationship or relatedness, and responsibility," that is:

Relevancy - No adult will deeply absorb himself in study unless he sees, unless he feels, that the subject is part of his life and destiny ... without relevance there will not be the engagement that constitutes genuine learning.

Relationship - No knowledge or skill or attitude is discrete; the adult wants to understand how it relates to his experience, to what he is, to what he knows.

Responsibility - Requires that one act upon what is learned.
