Learning is described as the act of a person who acquires new knowledge or skill which may lead to quality change and growth in assimilating and disseminating information.

In recent times, students have faced diverse and challenging issues when it comes to learning. Of course it is a proven fact that secondary school students in Nigeria till date lag behind students in other nations because of the difficulties they face in learning. Some of the pronounced problems they encounter in learning are the unavailability of appropriate textbooks and classroom resources. These students are unable to meet national standards for standardized examinations because of the incompetent teaches, inadequate learning environment to mention but a few. Their desire to use the internet as a source of information gathering is most times not fulfilled. Given these and other issues, it is highly essential to understand, welcome, and build upon the abilities of student’s learners, and at the same time making instruction to suit and resolve the problems or difficulties encountered by them. In the field of education or learning, psychology has a lot to bring on the table. In recent times, there have been quite a number of vital improvements in the study of student’s cognition and motivation, and this recent knowledge has a lot to add to the development of learning.

Family: thirdly, the lifestyle of the family and environment will also play its role on coordinating the attitudes of students. Finally, such problems and behaviors could be resolved through the introduction of different educational programs by the school, giving serious attention to activities, which lessen the school curriculum.
