"I’ve had a bit of a bugbear," writes Ben Betts. "It’s 70/20/10, the oft-quoted model from which we derive that the majority of learning happens from on the job experience... I think we’ve got the wrong model at the heart of the [informal learning] movement." First of all, he writes, the model - first mentioned here - doesn't have a basis in research. "70% as a figure isn’t a part of the case study results or conclusions." The model isn't useful either. "Informal learning has always been present. It isn’t a new idea and it certainly isn’t powered by the internet." So "what I believe is really important is that we maximize the effectiveness of informal learning and make sure the right habits get taught. And for that we need our good friend, formal learning."
