LEARNING SITUATIONS – BEYOND SCHOOL
This activity can help you think about learning as a lifelong process – in
other words the idea
that learning does not stop after school! It can also help you in your skills of learning by doing
research.
Do
Design an interview to find out experiences and views of other people
about learning in and
out of school and after they left school, including learning in and out of the workplace.
What are they learning now? Where? Who with? And how is it similar to or different from the
learning they did
at school?
Use your interview
to talk to a range of people, for example:
• someone who has just left school
• someone who
has had more than one job
• someone who is not in paid work
• a retired person.
Review
What happened? Did you have any surprises in what people said about learning?
What did it feel like asking these people?
Did you think your interview got the information you wanted?
If you did the activity ‘Learning – in school and out’, did what people said differ from what you
said in that activity?
Learn
What did you learn from people’s responses:
• What and how people need in
order to learn at different
times?
• How much learning people do after they leave school?
• How learning changes over time?
• Their view of learning?
What did you learn from this about doing research?
