Informal and Incidental Learning.
Marsick, Victoria J.; Watkins, Karen E.
New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, n89 p25-34 Spr 2001
Studies of informal and incidental learning demonstrate that it takes place wherever people have a need, motivation, or opportunity for learning. Context is central to the process. Despite its unstructured nature, adult educators can assist learners by identifying conditions that hinder or enhance it and by fostering critical reflection. (Contains 33 references.) (SK)
