“Learning is seen as something that you do in order to understand the real world”; so, “learning how or improving an ability is not like learning that or acquiring information” Gilbert Ryle (1900-1967)

“Knowing that”
11“Learning as a quantitative increase in knowledge. Learning is acquiring information or ‘knowing a lot’. Learning as memorizing” http://www.infed.org/biblio/b-learn.htm

“knowing how”
11
“Learning as making sense or abstracting meaning. Learning involves relating parts of the subject matter to each other and to the real world”

Education is a social process; education is growth; education is not a preparation for life but is life itself.
John Dewey (1859-1952)

• Students should not be Forced to Memorize
• Education should be Practical
Ibn Khaldun (1332 - 1406 )

Informal learning – is the source of most of what we learn from other people
We discover how to do our jobs through observing others, asking the person in the next cubicle, calling the help desk, trial and error, and simply working with people in the know
Jay Cross (2003)
