Factors Influencing Insight Many experiments have thrown light upon and established the various factors which influence insight. Some of them are mentioned below; 1. 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: wef ~ Scanned with CamScanner2. Intelligence — Insightful solution depends upon the basic intelligence of the learner. The more intelligent the individual is the greater will be his insight. 3, Learning Situation ~ How insightfully the organism will react depends upon the situation in which he has to act: Some situations are more favorable 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, 4. 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. 5. 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. V. Characteristics of Insight The above mentioned experiments make it quite obvious that learning by insight has certain characteristics of its own.

Educational implications of insight learning include: 1. Promoting Critical Thinking: Insight learning encourages students to think critically and creatively about problems, rather than relying solely on rote memorization or procedural algorithms. Teachers can foster insight by presenting students with open- ended problems that require flexible thinking and problem-solving skills. 2. Encouraging Discovery Learning: Insight learning aligns with the principles of discovery learning, where students actively engage in exploring and experimenting Scanned with CamScanner|. Fostering a Growth Mindset: with concepts to develop a deeper understanding. Teachers can create opportunities for insight learning by providing hands-on activities, puzzles, and challenges that require students to apply their knowledge in novel ways. . Supporting Metacognition: Insight learning involves metacognitive processes such as monitoring, evaluating, and regulating one's thinking. Teachers can help students develop metacognitive awareness by prompting them to reflect on their problem- solving strategies, identify obstacles, and adjust their approach as needed to achieve insight. ht learning reinforces the idea that intelligence is not fixed but can be developed through effort and persistence. By praising students for their effort and resilience in tackling challenging problems, teachers can promote a growth mindset and encourage a willingness to take risks and embrace setbacks as opportunities for learning. 2. Discuss Thorndike's primary law of learning. Compare and contrast a traditional classroom and a Constructivist Classroom. Discuss the role of a teacher in constructivist classroom.6+4+4 Law of Learning Laws of Learning given by Edward Thorndike which are readiness, exercise and effect. Here we divide laws of learning in 2 parts ie. Primary and secondary. As Learning is a complex process, laws of learning b Thorndike makes them easy to learn and understand. Lets learn here Thorndike’s laws of learning which helps us more in details. There are mainly two laws of learning (A) The Primary Laws of Learning {B) The Secondary Laws of Learning The Primary laws of Learning Law of Readiness: Readiness implies physical and mental preparedness to undertake 2 task. Readiness is the basis of learning, The more eager a person is to accomplish a take the quicker her learns. The person is a state of readiness at once assimilates the material concerning the job. A person who is not ready to learn cannot learn effectively.
