Defining Learning

What is learning? From the moment we are born we are on a learning path and that ends when we die. Learning happens from the moment we open our eyes each day until we close them to sleep. As we grow older (day by day) we learn by interacting with the world around us, this can include people as well as animals, "things" and our environment. Learning can be formal, or informal. Learning can be deliberate or accidental. Learning can be cognitive, social, emotional, or physical. Learning occurs with everyday actions and events. Learning can be small, or it can huge. Learning can be positive or negative. Part of learning is learning from your mistakes.  Learning is something that occurs whether we realise it or not.
