Exploring the process of learning in human ecology.
The process of learning phenomenon has been and is still widely discussed in nursing education especially in relation to adult learning. In this paper, the author reflects upon and analyses his own specific learning activity in the human ecology perspective to construct a conceptual framework of how learning takes place. He begins by briefly defining human ecology within which this learning process takes place and explores in general terms the existing definitions of 'learning' before arriving at his working definition. He then relates, and explores his learning experience as a basis for analysing how learning actually takes place and uses the identified learning characteristics within this mode of learning to support its relevance and implications for nurse education.
