Here we discuss human behaviour and how it effects the learning process. Learning is the acquisition of knowledge or understanding of a subject or skill through education, experience, practice or study. To succesfully bring about learning, we have to know why people act they way do and how people learn ant then use this understanding to teach others or to encourage oneself in the process of learning.
DEFINITIONS
Thera are many definitions of Human behaviour because its a complex topic, human behaviour is a product both innate human nature and of individual experience and enviroment. Here are 3 definitions:
1. Human Behaviour is an attempt to explain how and why human function the way they do.
2. It is also defined as the result of attempts to satisfy certain needs, such as food and water or more complex needs such as respect and acceptance.
3. The third definition of human behaviour is focuses on the typical life course of humans. This approach emphasize human development or the succesive passive of growth in which human behaviour is charaterized by a distinct set of physical, physiological and behavioral features.
By observing human behaviour, people can gain knowledge to better understand others.
HUMAN NEEDS THAT MUST BE MET TO ENCOURAGE LEARNING
Physiological
These are biological needs. They consist of the need for air, food, water and maintenance of the human body. If an individual is unwell, then little else matters. Unless the biological needs are met, a person cannot concentrate fully of learning, self expression or any other task. A hungry or tired individual may not be able to perform as expected.
Security
Once the Physiological needs are met, the needs for security becomes active. All humans have a need to feel safe. Security needs are about keeping oneself from harm.
Belonging
When individuals are physically comfortable and do not feel threatened, they seek to satisfy their social needs of belonging.
Esteem
When the first three of needs are satisfied, the need for esteem can be dominant. Human has a need for a stable, firmly based, high level of self respect and respect from others. Esteem is about feeling good about one's self. Human gets self esteem in 2 ways internally and externally. Internally, a person judges him/her self worthy by personally defined standard. High self esteem results self-confidence, independence, achievment, competence, and knowledge. Most people, however, seek external esteem thorugh social approval and esteem from other people, judging themselves by what others think of them. External self-esteem relates to one's reputation such as status, recognition, appreciation, and respect of associates.
Cognitive and Aesthetic
Cognitive is the needs to know and understand and aesthetic is the emotional need if the artist. Maslow understand that human have a deep need to understand what is going on arround them so that they can control the situation or make informed choices about what steps might be taken next. the brain even reinforce this need by giving human a rush of dopamine whenever something is learned, which accounts for that satisfying "eureka" moment.
Aesthetic needs connect directly with human emotions, which makes it a subtle factor in the domain of persuasion.
Self-Actualization
When all the foregoing needs are satisfied, then and only then for self-actualization activated. Maslow describes self-actualization as a person's need to be and do that which the person was "born to do". To paraphrase an old Army recruiting slogan, self actualization is "to be all u can be".
Self-actualized people are characterized by:
