Talk:Informal learning

COI edit request: Add Octagon Model and CAM-OS to “Characterizations”

Hi MosquitoDestroyer and Czarking0, thanks for flagging this. Sorry for the confusion! My request was described earlier in this thread, but I see it wasn’t clear in my most recent post.

What I’m asking for is to add two brief, neutral, well-sourced bullet points to the “Characterizations” section of the Informal learning article, summarizing the Octagon Model and the CAM-OS framework as they’re discussed in informal learning research, using independently authored secondary coverage (in addition to the original work).

As I mentioned in the beginning of the thread, I believe this would improve the somewhat atheoretical article by adding frequently cited models on informal learning.

I’m reposting below in the requested format (before and after).

Thanks again for taking a look.

Characterizations

Open House Day at ESO's Headquarters.

Informal learning can be characterized as the following:

• It usually takes place outside educational establishments;
• It does not follow a specified curriculum and is not often professionally organized but rather originates accidentally, sporadically, in association with certain occasions, from changing practical requirements;
• It is not necessarily planned pedagogically, systematically according to fixed subjects, test and qualification-oriented, but rather, either unconsciously incidental or consciously intended intuition, holistically problem-related, and related to actual situations and fitness for life;
• It is experienced directly in its "natural" function of everyday life.
• It is often spontaneous and creative.
• It is a key component to an alternative learning system coined, Learning by Observing and Pitching In (LOPI), which is based on the learning methods observed to be common in many Indigenous American communities.
