How do students learn?
To start to talk about the way in which students learn, it is necessary that we have a clear idea what refers to the concept "learning".
Learning is to acquire, process, understanding and, finally, implement an information that has been taught to us, in other words, when we learn or understand some knowledge we are able to use and practice such information in a contextualized world.
In this way, to know the meaning of learning, it is important to approach us now if, by learning that students acquire by teachers.
There are three types of procedures in which the student acquires knowledge, these are: before, during and after. In the first procedure the student is waiting that the master input information to the class, during class the student must pursue strategies or methods whereby provided it understand information so that in this way both the teaching and learning of the students are to be effective, although on many occasions the importance that students learn is not only in the fact to find ways of acquiring knowledge, if not also in the way in which the master taught the class, using strategies of learning in which students are able to practice it , finally the knowledge that her teacher aims to teach have as goal that students learn theoretical way information however also claimed that the theoretical knowledge take to her practice in a space framed.
There are various theories of learning focused the student learn in an effective manner, but in a classroom learning theories most commonly used are: cognitivista and behavioral theory.
In cognitivista theory the student develops the reasoning, memory, language, perception and problem resolution. In this theory the students stimuli in such a way that they receive the information they receive, her fit and her assimilated then carried out in a cognitive process that is based on the Faculty of the beings of processing information from the perception, acquired knowledge (experience) and subjective characteristics that allow to develop, analyze, and manage from various perspectives information.
In cognitive theory as you mention Vygotsky, people don't learn individually, in group, by imitation, social internalization, interaction with the group. This means that it is important in a classroom that the student to interact with other colleagues for that in this way contribution or receive information that perhaps did not know and that will be useful.
On the other hand, in the behaviourist theory the learning of the students is the main objective and generated two ways by which the student learns and are: by conditioning in which we learn through interaction with the environment and another where the person learns by trial or error
When a behavior is repeated positively, it becomes a habit (does better adaptation to the environment, if a response is positive is still repeated, you can modify, acquire and do away with behaviour through the conditioning of the stimuli or answers and there is finally a reinforced behavior which can be generalized to other similar situations.) This means that in many cases students learn in a way contextualized in which to learn and go acquired new experiences, do it to be wrong however those errors that have must be solved by this same, using diverse information that the maestro provide to him.
For a student learn effectively it is necessary that the master carry out various strategies to do that most of the students put attention and not just a few that seem to understand what the teacher speaks.
To attend various comments and practices I since eh has that students learn better when the teacher is a person who has good preparation and not just improvises class because learning does not take it as a game, another way in which note that the students were more attention and interest, was when the master towards dynamic activities in which the student was working at all times and using material support. This sometimes does not mean that by virtue of dynamic activities, the student will learn however necessary that we as future teachers look for ways in which students feel motivated to move forward now that often the students do not see relations between the new material that you read and what they already know.
. Where any matter is not in the interest of the student, you must find a way to make the same motive, be it using as an example some object of your choice that can be related to the subject or the simple fact that there is a good interaction between possibly, finally learning better when they are involved in activities which they perceive as useful in everyday life and that are culturally relevant.
Many students have the ability to learn in different ways but there are factors that make that students lose interest in education and this arises when the student has problems with family-type (when there is no one to support it or motive in order to develop their skills and abilities in the family environment), in the social nature (when their friendly relations are affected by a problem) and the environment which causes the student to feel alone, lose interest in things.
As conclusion I would say that the learning of the students is the goal of the master and as such, must find various methods so that adolescents can learn and understand what you want to teach, while it is true that not all students learn in the same way or with the same strategies that the teacher uses, therefore it is necessary that the student is also seeking alternatives to learn better, clear serious exemplifies the fact that when the student does not learn successfully what the master taught, the student has the initiative to use books of texts to learn better and if that does not understand any knowledge the master is responsible for providing aid so that the student develops skills and abilities.
Students are capable of learning what they want if they intend.
