Introduction There are a number of different understandings of the concept of learning.
As educators most of us want our students to have a sound understanding, to analyze, to gather evidence, to synthesize, to be flexible, creative thinkers and good communicators. Each of these phrases implies that students need to be able to do more than just access information - they need to be able to do something with that information. They need to develop wisdom and not just the appearance of it. Since the term learning is understood in different ways, it is important to be aware of its variable meaning among individuals. This understanding of the learning process has a significant impact on the selection of teaching strategies.
