CONTENTS
In the course, basic concept and theoretical perspectives on learning are treated. Questions that are brought up are, for example: Who is learning? Why does one learn? What is learnt? How does one learn? Another part that is covered is the conditions for learning in different situations: What are the opportunities for learning? What obstacles for learning can be identified? This is highlighted from the level of individuals, groups, organisations and communities. Also covered in the course is the relationship between learning and knowledge, education and teaching: Can learning be planned, and if so, how? What does the learning result in?
