When I look at one of the normal days, the most things are regular thinks, where you do not learn anymore. You do it every day. Standing up, showering, drive to the train station, go by train to Hamburg and the other normal things in live. You have learned them once, but now there is no learning any more.
I think the real learning on a normal day is in university and at work.
As a softwareengineer the most learning is I think cognitivism. When you want to program something, you first look at the code or in the internet, if someone else has programmed it similar. If so, you look what you have to change and copy it. An other way is to ask the others how you could deal with problems is to ask someone how already programmed a similar thing.
An other way you also always use is I think the connectivism because when you want to change the code or write new one it is a little of connecting older experiences to create a new one.
At university I think it is also a mix of connectivism and cognitivism. You learn from other people, but without connecting your older experiences and knowledge you would have many problems in the university.

Hi Björn,
First of all thank you for your nice coment last week!
I agree with you, that we learn very many things in acognitive way.
But I also think there special knowledge to work the way you described. Many people have problems, looking up things on their own, as in internettutorials or books. I think the ability to learn cognitive is the asumtion to become very good in doing something.
All the best for you,
Ole
