Summary/Abstract: Learning is a relatively constant change in human abilities that is not a result of the growth process. These abilities are associated with certain learning outcomes. At the end of the learning process, verbal knowledge, mental and motor skills, as well as attitudes and cognitive strategies are formed or developed. In an environment where knowledge is constantly changing, the competencies needed in educational life are also constantly differentiating. A competence that is valid and sought-after for today may lose its importance tomorrow. Therefore, the competencies that are possessed should be able to turn into the competencies that are needed in the future. Learning competence is a competence that is effective in gaining new competencies and transforming existing ones. Learning theories have been developed by a number of researchers in this regard in parallel with learning competence and processes. The purpose of developing these theories is to shed light on how learning processes are formed and how they develop through research, study and research. Because improving the abilities and learning capacities of employees in educational institutions is an indispensable condition for the institution to continue to exist. In the current period, it is becoming more difficult to find and hire human resources with the necessary qualifications and competencies every day. For this reason, organizations carry out training activities by determining the training needs of their existing employees. With the training activities, it is aimed to create changes in the work-related behavior of employees through learning. As the responsibilities and work areas of the employees participating in the training in an institution or organization change, the content and form of the training program will change accordingly. All these developments and initiatives are evaluated within the scope of learning processes.
