We define learning as the transformative process of taking in information that—when internalized and mixed with what we have experienced—changes what we know and builds on what we do. It’s based on input, process, and reflection. It is what changes us.

Term coming from Greek philosophy and history culture. Education usually holds two meanings: the narrow one is the school education. The broader one is, according to the ancient Greek beliefs, the creation of a good, decent, conscious citizen as well as the creation of a culture which equals the spirit of the cultivate human.

As Richard E. Mayers mentioned1 learning is the relatively permanent change in a person’s knowledge or behaviour due to experience. This definition has three components: 1) the duration of the change is long-term rather than short-term; 2) the locus of the change is the content and structure of knowledge in memory or the behaviour of the learner; 3) the cause of the change is the learner’s experience in the environment rather than fatigue, motivation, drugs, physical condition or physiologic intervention.”

Learning also is the complex psycho-physical2  function of familiarisation and assimilation of knowledge and development of skills. The learning process requires the use of a complete methodology that involves all aspects of the person’s personality (physical, mental, emotional).

2.The physical and psychological qualities. In the 19th century, German physicist, philosopher and mystic Gustav Theodor Fechner was revolutionary in terming psychophysics. In its simplest form, it is a mathematical relationship between one’s internal (psychic) and external (physical) worlds on the basis of experimental data.
