Research School Network: Learning Behaviours Behaviour is often thought of as something negative that gets in the way of learning.

Behaviour is often thought of as something negative that gets in the way of learning. Learning behaviours bring together the elements needed for a positive learning
experience to take place.

“A learning behaviour can be thought of as a behaviour that is necessary in order for a person to learn effectively in the group setting of the classroom”. 

(Ellis and Todd, 2018)

> Managing own behaviour
> Showing pride in success
> Listening to teacher
> Valuing the opinions of others
> Focusing on learning in class
> Organising own learning

Effective learning behaviours can be impacted by personal circumstances or a learning need. If we consider the emotional, social and cognitive elements we can see what challenges a student is facing.

A student that has developed positive learning behaviours can thrive in school. Support from family, friends and the culture at the school will help a student to
maintain this positive framework.
