- 2. Insight Learning? • Insight learning is a type of learning or problem solving that happens all of a sudden through understanding the relationships of various parts of a problem rather than through trial and error. • Insight learning also involves the “I have found it!” feeling or “Eureka”. • Insight learning is also express as the “Aha Moment”. • Insight learning refers to the sudden realisation of a solution of a problem
- 3. Factors Influencing Insight • Experience - Past experiences help in the insightful solution of the problems. • A child cannot solve the problems of Modern Mathematics unless he is well acquainted with its symbolic language.
- 4. Intelligence • Insightful solution depends upon the basic intelligence of the learner. • The more intelligent the individual is the greater will be his insight.
- 5. Learning Situation • How insightfully the organism will react depends upon the situation in which he has to act. • Some situations are more favourable than the others for insightful solution. • As a common observation, insight occurs when the learning situation is so arranged that all the necessary aspects are open for observation.
- 6. Initial Efforts or Trial and Error • Insightful learning has to pass through the process of trial and error. • Whatever an activity may be, attempts or efforts or trials always lie at its root. • This opens the way for insightful learning.
- 7. Repetition and Generalization • After having an insightful solution of a particular type of problem, the organism tries to repeat it in another situation, demanding similar type of solution. • The way found in one situation helps him to react insightfully in the other identical situations.
- 8. Trial and Error learning and Insight Learning InsightLearning • Higher mental processes like, comprehension perception of relationships analysis generalization are involved. • Sudden awareness or insight after implicit trial and error. • Insight is ‘sudden’ and doesn’t need practice. Trial and Error • Just a process of habit formation. No mental processes are involved. • Success is due to ‘chance’ after implicit trial and error. • Learning is gradual and need practice.
- 9. cont. • Acquisition, retention and transfer of learning is possible. • Fit for learning scientific involving creative thinking understanding. • Acquisition, retention and transfer of learning is not possible. • Fit for learning motor skills, language and arithmetic skills.
- 10. Principles Involved in Insightful Learning Law of figure ground, Law of inquisitive Law of continuity Law of similarity Law of proximity
- 11. Educational Implications A Facilitator of learning; • Person who help the student-teacher • Teacher who provides suitable learning environment. • Don’t use lecture method by compulsion Independent study Learning is nothing but the action that only done by the students. So makes the students to motivate them to. Learn by ”learning by doing”
- 12. cont. Problem Solving • Teachers make students to find solution for a problem by making “ learning task” for the student. • Teacher should motivate the discovery learning. Inductive Reasoning • Don’t tell the laws directly to the students. Teacher may say some laws for examples. • Learning should be done by the students themselves to say the laws.
- 13. Cont.… Whole Experiences • Students themselves have to learn or if students learn by finding/searching the important factor is external environment.
