 THE NINE (9) PRINCIPLES OF LEARNING
PINE & HORNE, 1990

The principles of learning provide additional insight into what makes people learn
most effectively. The principles have been discovered, tested and used in practical
situations.

By knowing some principles on how learning takes place, we will be guided on

how to teach.

1. Learning is an experience which occurs inside the learner and is activated by the
learner.

No one directly teaches anyone and anything of significance.

Learning will not take place unless the learner her/himself allows it to happen in
his/her mind. It is not primarily controlled by the teacher, rather on the learners' wants,
interests and motivation to learn.
 2. Learning is the discovery of the personal meaning and relevance of ideas.

Learners can easily understand concepts if these are relevant to their needs and
problems. Hence, as teachers, we must relate the lesson to the learners' needs, interests
and problems.

3. Learning (Behavioral Change) is a consequence of experience.

 People become responsible when they have really assumed responsibility, they
become independent when they have experienced independent behavior, they
become able when they have experienced success, they begin to feel important when
they are important to somebody and they feel like someone likes them.

4. Learning is a cooperative and collaborative process. Cooperation fosters

learning.

Collaborative learning is a method of teaching and learning in which student’s

team together to explore a significant question or create a meaningful project. Students
work together in small groups on a structured activity. They are individually accountable
for their work, and the work of the group as a whole is also assessed. Cooperative groups
work face-to-face and learn to work as a team.
 5. Learning is an evolutionary process.

6. Learning is sometimes a painful process.

This principle states that an individual could learn by undergoing a painful process;
hence “no pain, no gain”. There are some parts of learning that requires painful
experiences and sacrifices; but one could learn through these experiences.

Pain of breaking away from the old and the comfortable is usually followed by
appreciation and pleasure in the discovery of an evolving idea or a changing self.
 7. One of the richest resources of learning is the learner himself.

This principle states that the first element in order for the learning to be successful
is the learner himself. The success of the learning is dependent upon the interest of the
learner as well as in his/her capability to learn.

8. The process of learning is emotional as well as intellectual.

This principle states that learning undergoes emotional as well as intellectual

processes. As learning is affected by the total sate of the individual, one’s emotional
attributes take parts on the learning development. Learning is an intellectual process as
what had been learned is stored in one’s mind or intellect.
 9. The process of problem solving and learning is highly unique and individual.

This principle states that learning processes are highly engaged in problem solving
wherein what was learned can eventually be used in order to solve problems. Upon
problem-solving processes, the tendency to learn more is also possible.
