REET Level 2 study notes
Learning Process and Factors Affecting Learning
Learning is a relatively stable change in understanding, skill, attitude or behaviour through experience and practice. In REET Level 2, the learning process should be understood as active meaning-making, not only memorisation. Factors affecting learning include readiness, motivation, prior knowledge, language, health, classroom climate, teaching method, feedback and practice opportunities. A teacher of Classes VI-VIII must connect new content to what learners already know and must check understanding during the lesson. Common question traps usually ask candidates to choose between rote repetition and active engagement.
Key points
- REET asks Learning Process and Factors Affecting Learning through classroom use, not a long theory essay.
- Keep the answer inside the official CDP syllabus boundary and avoid unsupported claims.
- The teacher response should protect dignity, participation and learning progress.
- Use observation, examples, feedback and learner-level support before labeling a child.
- Common question traps usually contrast supportive pedagogy with rote, punishment or one-method teaching.

Classroom application
- Learner level: Classes VI-VIII
- Common misconception: A common misconception is that repeated reading alone is always the best learning method.
- Teacher action: Use prior-knowledge questions, examples, practice and feedback before moving to independent work.
- Learning activity: Begin a lesson with a two-minute "what we already know" board and end with one learner-generated example.
- Assessment check: Check whether learners can apply the concept in a new classroom or local-life situation.
Common question traps
- equating learning with memorisation only
- ignoring readiness and motivation
- choosing lecture-only methods for all topics
- missing language barriers
- treating feedback as only marks
