Educational Learning in the Workplace

Educational learning can also be acquired in the workplace. The workplace is a big depository of theoretical and practical knowledge and skills. There are many things that you did not learn in school which you will learn in the workplace.

• Outside School – A huge amount of educational learning can be acquired outside the school. It is expected that you will or have learned many things inside the school; however, when you step out of schooling and into the work arena, you will find out that there are lots of things you still have to learn. You will learn many things outside school when you start working.

• Repetition – You acquire educational learning when you learn about news things which are part of a larger body of knowledge. When you work in a job, you will learn new things and will need to repeatedly apply your knowledge in the work because it is your job. You learn because of the repetition; repetition is the mother of learning. When you continuously repeat performing tasks, you will master them. This is what you do in your work because of specialisation.

• Variety – On the other hand, in addition to repetition, you will also have variety. There will be things in your work which do not come very often. They will add to your learning. To add, they will make your work less boring. Because they do not come repeatedly, your mind will be freshened up and your brain will absorb the new learning.
