Yesterday in our PPP session, we learned about learning. The difference between teaching, education and learning, as well as the three types of learning.
Teaching is to impart knowledge or instruct how to do something, very much like school style.
Education is the act or process of acquiring general knowledge. It also entails developing the powers of reasoning and judgement and generally preparing oneself or others intellectually for mature life.
Learning is acquiring new behaviour, knowledge, skills, values, preferences and understanding. It could occur through education, or consciously, or even without conscious awareness.
There are three types of learning. Informal learning could be seen as 'learning by accident' or subconsciously. It is learning from day to day situations for example discovering that you could have left 20 minutes later for uni because the bus is always late, or discovering that you actually like chilli powder when it was mixed in with your dinner.
Formal learning on the other hand is the opposite, it is almost like organised learning due to it taking placed in an arranged manor, with a teacher to student system for example at school/college or university.
Whereas Non formal learning is learning that takes place outside formal hours. This could be learning in your own time for example visiting an art gallery or collaborating with other students to discuss interests and views on different topics.
In our blog groups, we got together and discussed things we wished to improve on whilst studying Illustration, and created a learning diagram on how we could achieve those improvements.
