ABSTRACT

One involuntary approach to learning is the intuitive approach that is effectively typecast as unconscious learning. A process that is completely unstructured and random, it is the type of learning that is probably the most prevalent of all and is often unrecognized as such. The second type of involuntary learning is the incidental approach, where the education process occurs through chance circumstances that are out of the ordinary. Almost all of the more formal approaches to learning that fall under the wider category of planned learning revolve around retrospective learning. Intuitive and incidental learning are forms of experiential learning that not only recognize the importance of experience as the starting point for erudition but also that its lessons can help improve on both success and failure. Modern information systems may well boast great learning potential but the reality is very different or – better said – still largely unutilized to anything like their full potential.
