Requirement
laws of learning or primary laws of learning
readiness
Individuals learn best when they are physically, mentally, and
emotionally ready to learn, and do not learn well if they see no
reason for learning. Getting students ready to learn creating
interest by showing the value of the subject matter, and
providing continuous mental or physical challenge, is usually
the instructor's responsibility.
Exercise
It is the basis of drill and practice. It has been proven that
students learn best and retain information longer when
they have meaningful practice and repetition. The key
here is that the practice must be meaningful. It is clear
that practice leads to improvement only when it is
followed by positive feedback.
effect
It has a direct relationship to motivation. The principles of
effect is that learning is strengthened when accompanied
by a pleasant or satisfying feeling, and that learning is
weakened when associated with an unpleasant feeling.
secondary laws of learning
Primacy
Things learned first create a strong, impression in the mind that is difficult
to erase. For the instructor, this means that what is taught must be right
the first time. For the student, it means that learning must be right.
"Unteaching" wrong first impressions is harder than teaching them right
the first time.
Recency
The principle of recency states that things most recently learned are best
remembered. Conversely, the further a student is removed time-wise
from a new fact or understanding, the more difficult it is to remember.

Intensity
the more intense the material taught, the more likely it will be
retained. A sharp, clear, vivid, dramatic, or exciting learning
experience teachers more than a routine or boring experience. The
principle of intensity implies that a student will learn more from the
real thing than from a substitute.
Other Subordinating Laws
Freedom
The principles of freedom states that things freely learned are best
learned. Conversely, the further a student is coerced, the more difficult is
or him to learn, assimilate and implement what is learned. Compulsion
and coercion are antithetical to personal growth. The greater the freedom
enjoyed by individuals within a society, the greater the intellectual and
moral advancement enjoyed by society as a whole.

Requirements

The law of requirements states that "we must have


something to obtain or do something." It can be an ability,
skill, instrument or anything that may help us to learn or gain
something.

summary/talking points
Edward Thorndike developed the first three "laws of
learning" which is readiness, exercise, and effect. Since
Thorndike set down his basic three laws in the early
part of the twentieth century, five additional principles
have been added: primacy, recency, intensity, freedom
and requirements.

In this law of learning it helps the students develop skills


that will better equipped them for their professional
careers. Teachers can be trained in this approach, so
they can apply the principles and provide their students
with a better learning experience.
insight
Principles of learning include readiness,
exercise, effect, primacy, intensity,
freedom, and requirements. The important in
principles of learning is needs, interest, and
goals are fundamental to the learning
process. If the individuals has to learn, he
must have some goal to be accomplished.
Learning is best when the learner knows and
understands his motive in learning.
