education happens outside the class room, after school program like
community basis organizations, museums, libraries or at home.
The after school education provides more chances for learning by
experience. Teaching techniques, content, expertise and group
management are important at studies. On the other hand, Informal
education can be more flexible with their content and offer a different kind
of environment.
An additional benefit of developing materials for informal
educational settings is that they may be useful to parents at home with
their children or to adult learners who are looking to expand their
knowledge or to increase their career options.
Some of the scholars view informal education as the learning that
comes as part of being involved in youth and community organiztions. In
these settings there are specialist educators whose job it is to encourage
people to think about experiences and situations. Like friends or parents
they may respond to what is going on at the work places
but as
professionals, these educators are able to bring special insights and ways
of working.
