Hearing, Understanding, Learning

“What is the difference between hearing, understanding, and learning?”
I think this is a very interesting question. When I read this question my personal reaction was “hearing is the senses transmitting data to your brain”, “understanding is deciphering and translating that data into meaning”, and “learning is accepting the meaning as true and worth remembering”. A student can understand what a teacher is trying to say, but not agree with it. For example, my teacher teaches us a technique, how to edit footage for a standard dialogue sequence, and guidelines on when and how to use it. I understand what he is saying, but I don’t agree with his statements.
