Informal education, everyday life and tacit learning

Abstract

This article proposes a review of the concept of informal education, connecting it with the contexts of activity and learning that occur in everyday life, and the kinds of issues to explain that they do not appear clearly in formal education. These include, among others, predispositions to behave in social situations, forms and types of decisions, membership and participation in communities, development of personal identity.It has been done a bibliographic and conceptual research, especially of authors who have explored ways of learning little considered in theory of education, as well as associated implicit, tacit learning concepts, and the idea of contexts of learning. As a result, it is proposed a new classification of the forms of informal education, as well as the advantages and problems associated with an approach based on learning contexts.
