Abstract
This paper reviews important practical aspects of student learning. Some student learn by memorizing important parts of the text by dividing the content into bits and pieces. In this approach, the surface approach, they may not be able to derive full meaning of the content. The other method used by the students is deep approach, wherein a student tries to understand the meaning of the materials. In medical education, it is important for the student to relate contents of study material to other ideas, and to map-put subject areas. In the present context, a medical student also needs to become an autonomous learner, for which a student needs to develop certain skills. Teachers have a significant role in providing opportunities to the students to learn actively and meaningfully. Learning outcome is related to characteristics of the student, the teachers, the institution, the learning styles and processing of the learned subject.
