Characterizations
Informal learning can be characterized as follows:
It usually takes place outside educational establishments;
It does not follow a specified curriculum and is not often
professionally organized but rather originates accidentally,
sporadically, in association with certain occasions, from changing
practical requirements;
It is not necessarily planned pedagogically, systematically
according to fixed subjects, test and qualification -oriented, but
rather, either unconsciously incidental or consciously intended
intuition, holistically problem- related, and related to actual
situations and fitness for life; It is experienced directly in its " natural " function of everyday life.
It is often spontaneous and creative.
In international discussions, the concept of informal learning,
already used by John Dewey at an early stage and later on by Malcolm
Knowles, experienced a renaissance, especially in the context of
development policy.

Informal learning can be defined as a par ticular way of
learni ng whi ch ari ses f rom the activiti es and interests of i ndi vidualsand groups . After having identified and selected interests expressed by
learners, informal-learning activities (discussion, talks or presentations,
information, advice and guidance are) are carried out in a flexible and
informal way, in informal community locations.
Conner continues explaining that Informal learning is a
life long process through which people acquire attitudes ,values , skills
and knowledge mainly from the mass media , from daily experiences,
such as those made at work , at play, while talking with our neighbours
and from various kind of interactions , in general. It is apparent thatinformal learning is rather related to incidental learning.
Informal learning contexts are such as parks, museum,
hi stori cal monuments, play groun d, music room, planetari um, AN ERT
etc.

ON LUSION
The speed at which technology evolves today is increasing
more than ever before and technology keeps offering new tools in order
to simplify our lives. At the same time, teaching strategies are out of step
with the times and students are not being taught how to adapt their
learning to fit todays complex work environment.
The reasons why informal learning is becoming so
popular have to do with immediacy and relevancy . Informal methods oflearning are often found in the work environment as they are seen as
techniques that a learner can take advantage of right away and with
immediate application to their job. Another reason consists in the fact
that learners can drive their learning in a more meaningful and self-
directed manner.
