The Base of the Iceberg - Informal Learning and its Impact on Formal and Non-Formal Learning (Relié)

Alan Rogers looks at learning (formal, non-formal and informal) and examines the hidden world of informal (unconscious, unplanned) learning. He points out the importance of informal learning for creating tacit attitudes and values, knowledge and skills which influence (conscious, planned) learning —formal and non-formal. Moreover, he explores the implications of informal learning for educational planners and teachers.
While mainly aimed at adult educators, the book's arguments apply also to schooling and higher education.
