Learning Process
To determine the applicant understands the learning process, can apply that knowledge, manage associated risks, demonstrate appropriate skills, and provide effective instruction.
Bottom line
Modern learning theories grew out of two concepts of how people learn: behaviorism and cognitive theory. The four practical learning levels are rote, understanding, application, and correlation.
