6. Explicit and tacit knowledge

7. Recognition of non-formal and informal learning
Formal learning: Learning that occurs in an organised and structured
environment and is explicitly designated as learning. Formal learning is
intentional from the learner’s point of view.
Nonformal learning: Learning which is embedded in planned activities not
always explicitly designated as learning but which contain an important
learning element. Non-formal learning is intentional from the learner’s point of
view.
Informal learning: Learning resulting from daily activities related to work,
family or leisure. It is not organised or structured in terms of objectives, time
or learning support. Informal learning is mostly unintentional from the
learner’s perspective.
Validation of learning outcomes: The confirmation by a competent body
that learning outcomesacquired by an individual in a formal, non-formal or
informal setting have been assessed against predefined criteria and are
compliant with the requirements of a validation standard. Validation typically
leads to certification.
CEDEFOP (2009)

9. Knowledge-based information society
INFORMATION SOCIETY
• Information and
knowledge became
important capitals (Bell,
1973)
 Revolution of ICT
(networking)
 Economic crisis
 Rise of social and cultural
movements (Castells,
1996)
KNOWLEDGE ECONOMY
• Optimal use, allocation and
development of skills
(OECD, 2011)
• Ensuring the
competitiveness of
knowledge (Zhang & Liao,
2010)
• Flexible work -> demands
adaptibility (Delors, 1999)
How can individuals and organizations function
effectively in this changed environment?
