Learning is in the context (learning material) when we say that a student is learning our answer is not complete, we just give an incomplete statement.

We should say a student is learning what? And the answer to this ‘what’ indicates towards the content a student is expected to learn or the objectives he is going to achieve.

Besides, learner and content, in a conventional classroom, there is a teacher who through the act of his teaching helps the students learn.

Thus there are three categories of conditions which affect learning namely.

1. The Conditions Related to the Content

2. The Teacher

3. The Learner

Unless a teacher knows ‘What to teach’ and the student knows ‘What to yearn’ it will be impossible to carry on the process of learning. The answers to these two questions specify the content or the curriculum.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

The activities, the objectives and the organization of the curriculum determine the nature of the learning process.

The conditions related to student are perhaps the most important in facilitating efficient learning. So educationists on providing a favourable learning environment to the students, whether in school or at home the student should be given a calm, clean lighted and well ventilated space for his study and related activities.

The physical and mental health of the student also affects his learning. Only a physically and mentally alert student can learn properly. Reasons for Deficiency – Sometimes, students show deficiency in learning. There may be so many reason-some areas under:

1. Type may not be properly motivated.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

2. They may not be interested in what is being taught to them.

3. The teacher might have used defective method of teaching or the activities he has chosen are beyond their maturity level.

4. The student may be over-burdened due to heavy home assignment given to him in one or more academic subjects. Such a practice creates unnecessary tension in the mind of the student. So the student feels tired and bored in his study.
