Learning Philosophy, Natural Approach, Classroom ApproachAbstract
This study aims to shed light on the variables influencing learning capacity within the natural and classroom approaches by carefully examining a wide range of scholarly sources and analyzing important literature. This project seeks to clarify how learning philosophy influences educational theory and practice. To gain a deeper understanding of their impact on educational approaches and outcomes, the study combines empirical research with insights from academics such as Krashen, Terrell, and Gagné. The results found that a balanced strategy for maximizing learning capacity is provided by combining the natural approach, which emphasizes socialization and intrinsic motivation, with the classroom approach, which is concentrated on structured learning management. Teachers can design dynamic learning environments that stimulate curiosity and provide the structure and support needed for skill acquisition and knowledge retention by fusing elements of autonomy and guidance.
