Everyday is a new learning. When an experience has created a
permanent change to an individual to become better, then that is learning. And
I consider that each day should be a learning event even in minute
circumstances in daily living.
I would say self-examination at the end of the day is a good
practice of evaluating what one learned from an experience. If this is used to
inspire us to make things better, then it is a learning experience. This is how
I perceive learning in practical realities, but I think it is different
learning in a formal setting.
In a formal setting, the usual experience is one learns
from the knowledge or skills given by the teacher but may not be giving an opportunity
to experience or facilitate learning in a reflective way. The methods would be
depending on the subject to be learned, but it can be validated through the
degree earned or the license gained which is an evident of learning even
if it’s done in a traditional way wherein knowledge and skills were just
given.
