Term2.png INFORMAL LEARNING
Learning that takes place in daily life without clearly stated objectives. The term refers to a lifelong process whereby every individual acquires attitudes, values, skills and knowledge from daily experiences and the educative influences and resources in his environment. It is not necessarily intentional learning, and as such may not even be recognized by the individuals themselves as contributing to their knowledge and skills.[1]
