This book stems from more than 25 years of systematic research into
the experience of learning undertaken by a research team trying to
account for the obvious differences between more or less successful
instances of learning in educational institutions. The book offers
an answer in terms of the discovery of critical differences in the
structure of the learner's awareness and critical differences in
the meaning of the learner's world. The authors offer a detailed
account of the empirical findings that give rise to theoretical
insights, and discuss the particular form of qualitative research
that has been employed and developed.
The form of learning that is the object of study is considered to
be the most fundamental form -- namely a change in the learner's
way of seeing, experiencing, handling, and understanding aspects of
the world. The need for rigorous analysis of learning of specific
subject matter, the individual construction of knowledge, and its
social and cultural embeddedness -- the defining features of rival
approaches into research on learning -- are reconciled from the
approach adopted here into an intertwined and whole experience of
learning. The learner's experience is always one of learning
something, in some way, and in some context; by holding the
learner's experience of learning as the focus of study throughout
-- and not studying the learning of the content and the acts and
the context as separate and distinct focuses -- the content, the
act, and the context remain united as constituents of the learner's
experience.
By empirically revealing critical differences in the ways of
experiencing these aspects of learning, and by developing a
theoretical framework for the dynamics through which change comes
about in the learner's awareness, this book gradually leads the
reader to a powerful new view of learning. Equipped with the
analytical tools and conceptual apparatus to be found in this book,
the reader will be empowered to learn and to assist others to learn
by creating environments conducive to the most fundamental form of
learning: experiencing aspects of the world in new ways.
