Internal and External Factors in the Learning process

On this occasion, I would like to write down what I know about the factors that influence a child's learning because learning is an ongoing process in our lives. However, did you know that success in learning is influenced by 2 factors?

Before discussing these two factors, try to remember your experience while studying, then ask yourself "why are your learning processes and results different from your friends or other people?" The simplest answer is because everyone's learning process is different, and some factors influence you in the learning process. 2 factors that I want to discuss are internal factors and external factors.

Internal factors that affect our learning process comes from within or the individual. This is closely related to your ability when following the learning process. In this internal factor too, physical and mental conditions are also involved. For example, people who have physical problems such as blind and deaf people will experience a different learning process from normal people. Of course, the learning outcomes and the way they learn will be very different. Likewise with mental (psychological) is involved in internal factors. The first example is someone who has high motivation will get different learning outcomes from someone who has no motivation at all. the second example is differences in personality, emotions, and talents of a person. These psychological differences make learning processes and outcomes different between individuals.

Meanwhile, external factors that affect a person's learning process are related to the social environment and instrumental equipment. Factors related to the social environment affect the learning process a lot, for example, someone who lives in luxury housing and gets good parenting will experience a very different learning process from people who live on the streets and don't even have a house. For examples of external factors related to equipment instruments, it can be seen from schools or universities that have complete facilities and schools that do not have complete facilities. Schools or universities that have the right facilities have different processes and learning outcomes for a person.

So, internal factors and external factors are very influential in one's learning process. After you understand these two factors, you will know which method is suitable for you to determine in the teaching process of your students. Hopefully, this is useful, and greetings
