The main question related to the research on the policy process is “where does policy come from?” In response to this question, various theories have emerged under the study of public policy. One of these frameworks is policy learning. This research aims to examine different frameworks and models of policy learning and explain the factors affecting policy learning. Accordingly, while listing different definitions in this field, different models of policy learning that are based on the role of individual and collective components and the effects of various factors such as the nature of the policy problem, the type of learning actors and their understanding of the problem, the type of individual processing, the existence of professional communities, etc. are examined.
