INFORMAL LEARNING: A NEW MODEL FOR MAKING SENSE OF EXPERIENCE

Book ID/图书代码： 05230009B31748

English Summary/英文概要： In much of the developed world, learning is synonymous with the formal, structured processes that involve teachers, lecturers or trainers. Yet it is experience that is by far the most influential teacher that any of us will have, from the very first moment we are born.

Lloyd Davies puts forward a new way of looking at experiential learning; a model that identifies the elements, and points to some of the dynamics. The book highlights the characteristics that are common to the learning process, explains how we learn from experience and why each of us sees our experiences in different ways and, consequently, learns different lessons. It provides advice and guidance on how each of the various elements of the process can be used to greater effect, both for individual and group learning, as well as in mentoring and counselling. The book, which is based on the author’s research, is written for a wide readership that includes both learning practitioners and students.

If individuals and the organizations within which they work, as students or as employees, understand the basis on which they learn and can turn the process from a passive to an active one, the implications for their development are profound. Lloyd Davies’ model for Informal Learning provides a relevant, flexible and significant tool that can offer a sea-change in the way we all learn.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 所谓学习，就是由教师或培训师来讲授正式的结构化的课程。但是打从我们出娘胎起，经验才是我们每个人都有的更具影响力的老师。Lloyd Davies给我们带来了关于经验学习的新视角，这种学习模式揭示了经验中的学习元素和学习动力。本书着重提出学习过程的通性，告诉我们为什么我们可以从经验中学习，以及我们每个个体看待经验的方法是不同的，因此我们学习的结果也就大相径庭。作者想告诉大家有哪些因素能够使经验学习更加有效，这不仅对于个人的学习有所帮助，同时也适用于小组学习和指导。本书观点基于作者的调查研究，适用范围广泛。不论是组织机构本身还是身处其中的学生或雇员，对学习基础的理解将会对他们的发展产生深远的影响。Lloyd Davies的非正式学习模型提供了能彻底改造我们学习的切实有效且灵活多变的方法。(兼职翻译-LN)
