ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with learning in relation to the most important of contexts or learning spaces in which it takes place. The first is ‘everyday learning’, i.e. the learning that takes place more generally as a function of being part of a society with certain norms, forms of practice, modes of thought etc. The next in line is learning in schools and education programmes and then learning in working life, where there is both more targeted training and more non-systematised learning in the process of doing the work. In recent years a new net-based or ‘virtual’ learning space has been added, and finally the chapter turns to interest-driven learning and learning that cuts across the learning spaces, in particular between education and work.
