insight, in learning theory, immediate and clear learning or understanding that takes place without overt trial-and-error testing. Insight occurs in human learning when people recognize relationships (or make novel associations between objects or actions) that can help them solve new problems.

 

Insight is being able to see or understand something clearly.

For example:

  • Meeting a friend’s parents can help you to understand why they do some of the things they do.
  • Watching a pet’s actions during the day on a hidden camera will show you how they spend their days while you are away

  • Questioning techniques is important because it can stimulate learning, develop the potential of students to think, drive to clear ideas, stir the imagination, and incentive to act. It is also one of the ways teachers help students develop their knowledge more effectively..

Questions stimulate discussion and creative and critical thinking, as well as determine how students are thinking. Questions help students retain material by putting into words otherwise unarticulated thoughts.
