• Learning is one of the most important activities in which humans engage. It is at the very core of the educational process
• although most of what people learn occurs outside of school. For thousands of years
• philosophers and psychologists have sought to understand the nature of learning
• how it occurs
• and how one person can influence the learning of another person through teaching and similar endeavours. Churchill et al. (2013
• p. 107) remind us that 'learning is an ambiguous concept'
• and therefore difficult to define. Lenz Taguchi (2010) highlights the need to embrace the messy complexities of learning.
