INTRODUCTION for transfer knowledge to the learners that could learn anytime anywhere example In new age, E-Learning was the important Google classroom, smart classroom etc. learning process for learners because the Learners could be learning by themselves, behaviors of learners changed from the past. In the teachers or lectures would be the the past learning process was in classroom in consultant or mentor when learners had time of school, college or university. But in problems or not understand in any topics of new age the learning would be the any time e-learning. General Concept for developed any where learning. The learning did not have the E-Learning might use the any learning limited on time or place so, E-Learning was theory look the learning finally or leaning the best practice on leaning for new age outcome more important than anything. learner. But, in real had many factors that were impact to leaning process. Behaviors of Although the E-Learning was the important learners were the most impact for learning learning tools. But e-learning could not really process. Thorndike’s Theory described the respond the behavior of learners. The outcome law of learners’ behaviors that had impact of knowledge transfer from e-learning was on learning way. So, the development unsuccessful. process of E-Learning must design on behaviors’ theory of Thorndike. Knowledge So, Edward Lee Thorndike’ Learning Theory transfer by E-Learning had been develop on would be necessary for knowledge transfer on behaviors’ learners would be the better E-Learning. more than general e-learning. II. THEORY Keywords - E-Learning, Thorndike, Learning A. Knowledge Transfer Theory Knowledge Transfer or Technology Transfer was the process for transfer knowledge, procedure, process, methodology or the others from senders to receivers.

B. Edward Lee Thorndike So, from the study of cat behavior Edward Edward Thorndike (1874 - 1949) is famous Lee Thorndike had announce the theory of in psychology for his work on learning theory Learning “Law of Effect”. that lead to the development of operant conditioning within behaviorism. C. Law of Effect 1. Law of Readiness means the state of Whereas classical conditioning depends on readiness or maturity of the body, the body, developing associations between events, the organs of learning and the mind. Including operant conditioning involves learning from basic and original experience. Conditions of the consequences of our behavior. Skinner ear, eye, brain, and muscles.
