This post draws a useful distinctoon between viewing education as a product and viewing it as a process. Quoting from Rogers' Freedom to Learn Gurstein writes, "The most socially useful learning in the modern world is the learning of the process of learning, a continuing openness to experience and incorporation into oneself of the process of change." The article lists the benefits of a process-based approach for both learners and educators, and points to examples of process-oriented learning activities.
