    What Is Learning

    Learning is a process that leads to change in the learner through experience. It involves understanding concepts at a deeper level than just memorization by making connections between new and prior knowledge and thinking critically. Learning also includes developing skills like problem solving, communication, and teamwork that are important for students' fields of study and personal success. Learning is something students do themselves based on how they interpret experiences, not something done to them.

    What is Learning?
    The word learning is used routinely in discussions about teaching in higher education, so it’s
    important to clarify what we are referring to when we talk about learning. Educational
    researchers agree that learning is much deeper than memorization and information recall.
    Deep and long-lasting learning involves understanding, relating ideas and making connections
    between prior and new knowledge, independent and critical thinking and ability to transfer
    knowledge to new and di erent contexts.

    Learning is “a process that leads to change, which occurs as a result of experience and
    increases the potential for improved performance and future learning” (Ambrose et al, 2010,
    p.3). The change in the learner may happen at the level of knowledge, attitude or behavior. As a
    result of learning, learners come to see concepts, ideas, and/or the world di erently.
    Learning is not something done to students, but rather something students themselves do. It is
    the direct result of how students interpret and respond to their experiences.
    While there are disciplinary di erences in what students learn, it is important to keep in mind
    that learning content or information constitutes only one part of learning in university courses.
    Regardless of the eld of study, students need to have signi cant opportunities to develop and
    practice intellectual skills/thinking processes (e.g. problem-solving, scienti c inquiry), motor
    skills and attitudes/values that are important to their elds of study. In addition, students need
    opportunities to develop interpersonal and social skills (often referred to as soft skills) that are
    important for professional and personal success. Examples of these skills include teamwork,
    e ective communication, con ict resolution and creative thinking. As teaching assistants and
    instructors, we need to keep in mind that there is much more to learning than content and that
    we should pay attention not only to the content but also to thinking processes and other types
    of learning.
