Learning is the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and behaviors through experience, study, or teaching. It involves integrating new information with existing knowledge to improve problem-solving abilities, decision-making, and task performance. There are different types of learning, including cognitive learning, where individuals gain new facts and concepts, skill development, which focuses on improving physical or mental abilities, and behavioral learning, where changes in behavior occur due to experiences or stimuli.
Learning happens in various environments, from formal education settings like classrooms to informal situations such as daily life experiences or self-directed exploration. Whether you’re engaging in academic learning, professional skill-building, or personal growth, learning is a continuous process that helps individuals adapt and thrive in changing environments.
