ABSTRACT
Every day, we are confronted with problems and challenges which we address by drawing on our experience and by using this experience to find ways of learning what to do in new circumstances. The knowledge and skills we need to make our way through the world may include those in buying a car, administering an office filing system or getting on with a partner. We rarely enrol in a course or take a class or consult a teacher as part of these learning projects. Learning through experience is the normal, commonplace approach to learning, and we take it for granted.
