So is there any merit to the "oft-quoted model from which we derive that the majority of learning happens from on the job experience, as opposed to learning from peers or in a formal learning environment?" This post looks at the question. This figure (or the closely related 80-20 figure) is widely cited. "Many articles which put forth the 70/20/10 model cite Kevin Dobbs’ article “Simple Moments of Learning†which appeared in Training Magazine, January, 2000." But this is just a passing reference. And there doesn't seem to be any reviewed literature supporting the claim. But there should be ways to test the theory - if not by measuring how much informal learning we do, then measuring how much formal learning we do.
