DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEARNING Formal learning ◦ includes the hierarchically structured school system that runs from primary school through the university and organized school- like programs created in business for technical and professional training.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEARNING Informal learning ◦ describes a lifelong process whereby individuals acquire attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from daily experience and the educational influences and resources in his or her environment, from family and neighbors, from work and play, from the market place, the library and the mass media. ◦ this is non-purposive learning which takes place in everyday life contexts in the family, at work, during leisure.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEARNING Self-motivated learning ◦ There is a heavy emphasis on the need for individuals to take responsibility for their own learning. ◦ Lifelong learners are, therefore, not defined by the type of education or training in which they are involved, but by the personal characteristics that lead to such involvement.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEARNING Self-funded learning ◦ The concept of self-funded learning is linked to the characteristic of self motivated learning. ◦ the lifelong learning policy agenda emphasizes the responsibility of individuals to finance their own continuing education and training with minimal support from government. ◦ to invest time, money and effort in education or training on a continuous basis.

TRADITIONAL LEARNING, TRAINING AND LIFELONG LEARNING The teacher is the sole source of knowledge, Traditional education are ill suited to equip people to work and live in a knowledge economy. Teamwork, problem solving, motivation for lifelong learning cannot be acquired in a traditional learning setting

TRADITIONAL LEARNING, TRAINING AND LIFELONG LEARNING A lifelong learning system must reach larger segments of the population, including people with diverse learning needs. It must be competency driven rather than age related. new curricula and new teaching methods are needed. efforts need to be made to reach learners who cannot enroll in programs at traditional institutions.

TRADITIONAL LEARNING, TRAINING AND LIFELONG LEARNING LLL enables learners to acquire more of the new skills demanded by the knowledge economy as well as more traditional academic skills. WHAT IS THE “KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY?”

TRADITIONAL LEARNING, TRAINING AND LIFELONG LEARNING Lifelong learning is more than training or continuing education. It must support multiple learning opportunities including exploring conceptual understanding.

CHARACTERISTICS OF TRADITIONAL AND LIFE LONG LEARNING

Learners are the same as they have always been. The same methods that worked for me when I was a student will work for my students now.
