INTRODUCTION
Every human being has some sort of goals or objective with his life and he wish to pursue
for that goal. For achieving that objective the individual joins the educational institutions or the
classes so that they can attain the required learning. To make the things learn an individual
approach is different from each other. One individual might learned the subjects or the topic
through pictures and videos while other understands the things through books only. There are
some other people who only understand the topics or subject when one make the things
understand to them. So there are various approaches to learning which an individual follows.
This essay will discusses about the various type of learning approaches available, the potential of
brain to capture and the usages of these learning approaches in academic field and the ways in
which mind mapping could be helpful in gathering, organizing and understanding the
information which a person reads or listens.
MAIN BODY
Study skills said to be as some strategies or the tactics which an individual uses to make
the things get learned to him. These strategies are executed by a person when he tries to
understand or learn some topics or subjects. Such skills or strategies enable a person to learn the
things in a much easier way and help them in getting the good score in their subjects. A person
should not just study but he must perform the smart study. The smart study would help the
student in getting the things or topic learns with less time and more efficiency. The smart study
also lessens the time taken by an individual to make the things learn. In smart studying the
students uses various approaches or styles for studying (Cottrell, 2019). It has been observed that
an individual learns more when he practically performs that things rather than he just learned the
topic theoretically so a student must try to perform the topics or subjects in practical so that it can
get fix into his head. When a person performs the learning in practice he tends to remember or
memorize everything but when he learned the things in theory only then it is more likely chances
for forgetting as he just has mugged it. One of the other effective ways of learning can be
writing. Write the topic or the learning which you have just leaned now. This would help a
student in taking a test about the percentage he has remembered yet from the things he has just
learned. There are in total 3 types of approaches for learning which an individual can use to
make the things learn which are: behavioral approach, cognitive approach and humanist
approach. The student can use any of these available approaches to learn the things in a more
effective way (Dawson, 2018).
Behavioral approach which is also known by approach of behavioral states that every
behavior stimuli is the action influenced by the environment process which is known as
“conditioning”. The theories of Behavioral approaches can be learned through regular and
standard observation. Through including and utilizing this methodology in learning, individuals
and understudy can learn new things by watching the surroundings and response of upgrade.
