All students need to develop their learning skills in order to become successful in their studies. It is important that you gain awareness about how to learn because it will help you make the right educational choices, improve your learning ability, and improve your learning skills. It will also help you understand how to improve your memory, concentration and intellectual abilities.
Learning is not just about keeping facts. It also involves developing skills, knowledge, critical thinking and the power of discussion. Learning also helps us to execute tasks more successfully and skillfully.

Learning development describes work with students and staff to develop academic practices, with a main focus on students developing academic practices in higher education. Learning developers are academic professionals who: teach, advise and facilitate students to develop their academic practices; create academic development learning resources; and reflect on their own academic practices through a community of practice.
Hilsdon (2011: 14) defines learning development as, "a complex set of multi-disciplinary and cross-disciplinary academic roles and functions, involving teaching, tutoring, research, and the design and production of learning materials, as well as involvement in staff development, policy-making and other consultative activities."

I have seen that majority of students’ learning behaviors are developed when they are intrinsically motivated.
Student learning development usually begins with the student and stretches down to his or her teachers/lecturers in the form of a partnership business that readily admits new partners (new teachers, mentors, instructors etc) at every stage of the learning process even as the student is proven to have acquired the necessary skills relevant at each stage. Learning development encompasses the determination and willingness of a student to get equiped with accessible but pending knowledge and skills that are needed in such a student towards making him or her relevant in the field of study/practice and to the society at large. Thus, in learning development, the partnership between the student and the teacher is that of 60% to 40% staking which must not be taken for granted as is presently obtainable in msny developing countries. Both the student and the teacher must be prepared at all times to take responsibility for the actualisation of this unique task. Remember, it is a 6:4 pro rata duty split between the student and the teacher. While the student must give diligence a sincere chance throughout the learning process via embrace of improved study methodology given the rich resources of the internet and the social media, the teacher must equally make resounding effort at ensuring that the student is fed adequately with modern state of art obtainable in our ever changing learning and corporate environment. However, all of this can only be when the government or the relevant authorities concerned have done their part by providing a skill acquisition enabled learning environment and all facilities/machineries needed towards achieving the student's learning oriented goals.
When students participate in hands-on projects that force them to apply the material presented in class, then they cannot help but learn. To give an example from my teaching Topics in Philosophy: Philosophy of Law this semester, four 80-minute class periods are set aside as mock trials. In each trial every one of my seven students plays a role, and each student has the opportunity to play a lawyer (either the prosecutor or the defense attorney) once in the semester. I grade the students playing lawyers on their performance, particularly their application of skills I've taught them. The students have consistently outperformed my expectations.

Hello
Students, specifically college students, need to have a kind of obligation(commitment) towards their learning. This means that teachers supposed to Let students take part in the classroom decisions and to carry some of the responsibility which in turn help in enriching students levels from just receivers of knowledge from the teacher to active participants.

I think that the answers of Prof. Dhia and Prof. Isam Issa are very suitable and valuable.
With best regards..
Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Business Games were the best results I´ve obtained in classes.

It has been observed that quite good student are interested to know something new technique , or more information for the development for which they themselves are finding the solution of their knowledgeable inquiry . In such cases teacher show find out the inquisitiveness for such student & after knowing their inclination & interest for the student it may certainly help the development for the student .
This is my personal opinion
First, self discipline of the teacher play vital in learning ability of the student
Teacher should be a role model to students
Dress code of the teacher,
Expressions and presentation in classroom .......these are all may be motivate and enhancing learning skills of the students
Dear Ms Anuradha Iddagoda,
As instructor we should make our content and delivery such that enhance interest in the course. This certainly shall help motivating students/
Using practical training as a principal element in improving students learning.
The role of Learning Enrichment is to add value to the learning of every student and to provide support as well as offering services to all students who want to improve any aspect of their learning experience.
Some of the practices that may contribute to the development and enrichment of student learning are: 1. Assistance with English when it is not the first language of the student. 2. Assistance with assignments and assessment tasks including, time management and organisation, interpreting task requirements, and planning, researching and presenting. 3. Providing exam support for students needing special considerations, and 4. Providing resources and access to assistive devices
I would say that learning must be supported with not only theoretical knowledge but also practical skills, then we increase understanding and this causes us to learn more efficiently...personal support is also important especially with the supervisor point of view
As a professor of philosophy I found that including references to and drawing upon examples from popular culture, especially TV shows and movies, helped students to see and understand many of the philosophical issues in terms that they were familiar with or to relate them to ideas that they had an antecedent interest in. This in turn provided a smoother pathway into the more abstract and technical subject matter that, without such priming, might've seemed alien and uninviting.
Students must be somehow motivated to learn. Some students are intrinsically motivated and do not need any additional motivation. Others need motivation. Teachers have to find a way to motivate them. Traditionally this can be a "carrot and stick".
I agree with previous responses.
I believe at student level, autonomous learning should somehow be developed.
This calls for attention in 4 interwoven dimensions:
A. Managerial skills (planning, studying, self-evaluating).
B. Justifying the importance of what is taught.
C. Motivation.
D. Resource collection and analysis.
