Abstract
Learning is the reflective function that makes a student uses previous knowledge to understand and check the present, to shape future action and build new knowledge. This includes the ways of learning and assimilation of new ideas by learner. Effective learning include past, present and future knowledge while the process may not be same throughout. Although the term “effective” has been widely used, it is actually used to make sense only when the context and principles are clarified. For finding the factors regarding learning data was collected through semi structures questionnaires and interpreted by using different mathematical techniques. The study is based on explanatory research design and used a sample size of 150 respondents selected through convenient sampling techniques. For the collection of the quantitative data questionnaire was constructed. The data was analyzed by using SPSS latest version. It was observed during the data collection process that improving learning outcomes, itself provides an opportunity to reflect on the content of the lesson in the context of the programs that can be used. Improving learning outcomes means that the context of learning will always be emphasized, and the lessons focus on knowledge and skills that will be invaluable to the learner now and in the future. By focusing on the application of the knowledge and skills learned in the lesson and on the integration of knowledge and skills with other aspects of their lives, students are more involved in their learning and subject matter. Emphasis on integration and general skills helps learners to draw lessons between lessons and between subject work and other forms of knowledge, improving student engagement. Learners understand the context and purpose of their assessment. In order to determine what is important for students to learn, the teacher should consider a particular subject or unit in the context of future lessons and the curriculum as a whole. This contributes to the development of a coherent curriculum within the institutional framework while maintaining teacher independence, and helps to enssure that students are prepared for future work and learning.
