What is the ultimate goal of learning?

  1. Passing exams

  2. Creat a lasting change in behavior

  3. Gathering facts

  4. Winning competitions

The correct answer is: Creat a lasting change in behavior

Option A, passing exams, is a short-term goal of learning that is often just focused on memorizing facts and formulas rather than truly understanding the material. Option C, gathering facts, may be a necessary step in learning but it is not the ultimate goal as it does not involve applying or using the information. Option D, winning competitions, may be a goal of some learning activities such as studying for a quiz bowl or a math competition, but it is not the ultimate goal of all learning. Option B, creating a lasting change in behavior, is the ultimate goal of learning as it involves not just acquiring knowledge but also using that knowledge to make meaningful changes in oneself and the world.
