1. KOHLER THEORY OF INSIGHTFUL LEARNING ALSO KNOWN AS GESTALT THEORY OF LEARNING GIVEN BY WOLFGANG KOHLER 2. Theory of Insightful Learning ▪ This theroy was given by Wolfgang Kohler (21 January 1887-11 June 1967) an American-German Psychologist and with contribute to Gestalt Psychology with Max Wertheimer, Lewin and Kurt Koffka ▪ All were Germans but settled in America and Gestalt Psychologist were studying the nature of perception. Wertheimer was belived to be the founder and father of Gestalt Psychology. ▪ So “Gestalt" do not have any equivalent word in English and it is being understand as “configuration" or “an organized whole" 3. Theory of Insightful Learning Wolfgang Kohler Lewin Max Wertheimer, Kurt Koffka, 4. Theory of Insightful Learning ▪ Insight in this also means that sudden solution flash of understanding of the problem without involving any trial and error. ▪ There are so many discoveries happened through inside in past time but for inside learning one should have previous knowledge in particular field ▪ So Kohler experiment on a chimpanzee named Sultan and published his book mentality of Apes in 1925 experiment in 1913 -17 at Canary is Island 5. Theory of Insightful Learning ▪ Learning is the conscious effort of an individual to learn something. ▪ The response of the individual is determine by his cognitive abilities and thinking process. ▪ During the learning process the learner perceive the situation as a whole and thus using his intelligence can solve the problem step by step.

Insight Learning? • Insight learning is a type of learning or problem solving that happens all of a sudden through understanding the relationships of various parts of a problem rather than through trial and error. • Insight learning also involves the “I have found it!” feeling or “Eureka”. • Insight learning is also express as the “Aha Moment”. • Insight learning refers to the sudden realisation of a solution of a problem 3. Factors Influencing Insight • Experience - Past experiences help in the insightful solution of the problems. • A child cannot solve the problems of Modern Mathematics unless he is well acquainted with its symbolic language. 4. Intelligence • Insightful solution depends upon the basic intelligence of the learner. • The more intelligent the individual is the greater will be his insight. 5. Learning Situation • How insightfully the organism will react depends upon the situation in which he has to act. • Some situations are more favourable than the others for insightful solution. • As a common observation, insight occurs when the learning situation is so arranged that all the necessary aspects are open for observation. 6. Initial Efforts or Trial and Error • Insightful learning has to pass through the process of trial and error. • Whatever an activity may be, attempts or efforts or trials always lie at its root. • This opens the way for insightful learning. 7. Repetition and Generalization • After having an insightful solution of a particular type of problem, the organism tries to repeat it in another situation, demanding similar type of solution. • The way found in one situation helps him to react insightfully in the other identical situations. 8.

The learning theory named as “Learning by Insight” is the contribution of Gestalt Psychologists Gestalt Psychology began with the work of German Psychologists who were studying the nature of perception. Wertheimer is generally considered to be the Gestalt Psychology’s founding father. Wertheimer, Kohler, Koffka and Lewin-all four of these men, originally German, eventually settled in America-are the leaders of what is historically Gestalt Psychology. 11. In one experiment, Kohler put a chimpanzee Sultan inside a cage and a banana was hung from the roof of the cage. A box was placed inside the cage. The chimpanzee tried to reach the banana by jumping but could not succeed. Suddenly, he got an idea and used the stick as a jumping platform by placing it just below the hanging banana. In other experiment, Kohler made this problem more difficult. Now it required two or three boxes to reach the banana. Moreover, the placing of one box over the other required different specific arrangements. In a more complicated experiment, banana was placed outside the cage of the chimpanzee. Two sticks, one larger than the other, were placed inside the cage. One was hollow at one end so that the other stick could be thrust into it to form a longer stick. The banana was so kept that it could not be picked up by one of the sticks. The chimpanzee first tried these sticks one after the other but failed. Suddenly, he got a bright idea. The animal joined the two sticks together and reached the banana. In these experiments, Kohler used many different chimpanzees. Sultan, who was the most intelligent of Kohler’s chimpanzees, could solve all the problems. Other chimpanzees could solve the problems only when they saw Sultan solving them. 12.

THEORY OF INSIGHTFUL LEARNING: o This theory was given by Wolfgang Kohler (21 January 1887-11 June 1967) an American-German Psychologist and with contribute to Gestalt Psychology with Max Wertheimer, Lewin and Kurt Koffka. o Wolfgang Kohler is best known for his empirical studies of Chimpanzee problem-solving. o In the 1920*s Wolfgang Kohler was studying the behavior of apes. He conducted some simple experiments that resulted to the development of one the first cognitive theories of learning which he called insight learning. 4. WHAT IS INSIGHTFUL LEARNING? • Insight learning is the sudden realization of a problem*s solution. Insight learning is not the result of trial and error but responding to an environmental stimulus and the result of observing someone else attempting the problem. It is completely cognitive experience that requires the ability to visualize the problem and the solution internally. • Insight also means the sudden solution or flash of understanding the problem without involving any trial and error. • Insight learning is a type of learning or problem solving that happens all of a sudden through understanding the relationships of various parts of a problem rather than through trial and error. 5.
