Abstract
Learning is acquiring new, or modifying existing knowledge, behaviour, skills, values, or preferences. A crucial part of learning is an ability to relate a new knowledge to the previous knowledge and experience, i.e. an ability to use the prior learning as an intrinsic part of any further learning process (e.g. Ramsden 1992). In addition to skills and knowledge gained in a formal learning environment, prior learning can include any knowledge, skills, or wider competences gained as a direct or indirect result of a range of life- and work-based experiences and activities.
