Our understanding of informal learning
Informal learning is a pervasive ongoing phenomenon of learning via participation or learning via knowledge creation, in contrast with the traditional view of teacher-centered learning via knowledge acquisition.It occurs outside the formal learning time and has no set objective in terms of learning outcomes and is never intentional from the learner’s standpoint.Learners start,control and manage the learning by themselves.
