What is Learning?
Learning is about acquiring (absorbing/realising) new knowledge, patterns of thought, behaviours, skills, values, preferences, understanding and/or overstanding, and often involve synthesising different types of experience and information.
The ability to learn is possessed by humans, animals and virtually by some machines.
It could be said that human beings are always learning as on a subtle (super-conscious) level we are constantly taking in ambient information and having it inform our being. That aside, the common sense idea of learning is related to determined acts of study, education or practice.
In this learning One must be “willing to learn”; this willingness connects and strengthens One's interest in the area of study and with it One gets into the right attitude for learning. Interest and attitude are two additional keywords that must be overstood. Losing interest and picking up the wrong attitude are major obstacles to learning.
DETERMINED LEARNING typically involves One making progress over time and tends to follow a definable learning curve (gradient). In previewing and defining the learning curve we are interested in knowing the key stages; points and periods along the curve.

The study of how learning occurs is part of neuropsychology, educational psychology, learning theory, and pedagogy. Pedagogy is the study of being a teacher or the process of teaching. This term generally refers to strategies of instruction, a style of education or to the correct use of instructive (educing) strategies, which for "our schools" must be informed by right knowledge.
