Observation or Practice Does Not Summarize Learning Humankind seeps knowledge through the various activities that happen within his realm. The active experiment of learning and having passive observation go hand in hand, but restricting the human mind to these two forms of knowledge is wrong. The action of hearing out someone is not technically passive it involves activity and observation incorporates stimulations of sensory organs. The student who sits in class will not be participating in observation knowledge if the eyes that are expected to view are shut. The activity of hearing or observing is already participatory though it is considered theoretical. The human mind is able to take thing s a notch higher when someone indulges in the activities of what he or she was taught. Learning from observation is a common activity and has been accepted culturally as a societal norm (Feden & Vogel 2033). Learning in different scopes of knowledge does not have a unilateral way of transmitting the knowledge. For example, the teacher who teaches a certain language cannot have the students listening only. The teacher should include a certain lesson in which the students talk in the language that they practice. The terms of observational learning in most psychological analysis are known as social learning, observational learning, and vicarious learning. Learning through observation involves the use of real time observations, video tapes of humans, cartoons, or listening of audio tapes. The observation of some activity can produce knowledge though it will not be able to cement the experience without actively participating in the knowledge actively or collaboratively (Millis & Cottell 1998, 34). The teaching that we get in class where the students sits and listens to what the teacher says is passive acquisition of knowledge. When the teacher pauses or asks us (the students) to discuss with our colleagues what we have learned, the form of
