Formal learning –
- is intentional, organized & structured - usually arranged by institutions - guided by a curriculum or other formal program.
(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development / Organisation de Coopération et de Développement Economiques (OECD), n.d.; Werquin, 2007)
Non-formal learning –
- may or may not be intentional or arranged - usually organized in some way, even loosely- no formal credits granted
(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development / Organisation de Coopération et de Développement Economiques (OECD), n.d.; Werquin, 2007)
Informal learning –
- is never organized- not guided by a rigid curriculum- is often experiential and spontaneous
(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development / Organisation de Coopération et de Développement Economiques (OECD), n.d.; Werquin, 2007)
Informal Learning
"the acquisition of skills, knowledge,
and values from daily experience and
people around us.”
http://www.psu.edu/dept/site/2010/04/more-thoughts-on-social-learning-and-context.html
To learn by observing and doing.
Best form of informal learning is in our "natural" tasks of everyday life.
10-15% is learned in formal training. Raybould, 2000
85-90% of a person’s job knowledge is learned on the job.
Work is learning; learning is work.
– taken from Keats
Harold Jarche
Informal learning allows for co-learning across organizations and outside of organizations.
Informal learning and co-learning are better
for dealing with emergent problems.
