Abstract: | Each type of learning is proposed as being a three-stage process, composed of: (i) recognition of a perceptual situation and
performance of an action corresponding thereto; (ii) observation of a deviation of the action result from an expected outcome;
(iii) re-arrangement of the conceptual framework of reasoning to meaningfully assimilate the observed deviation. In order
to evaluate a general, systemic significance of the concept of learning proposed hereby, the latter is assessed from perspectives
that correspond to diverse levels of organizational complexity of Nature. Thermodynamic concepts, constructivist and autopoietic
frameworks of analysis of cognitive phenomena, and the aspects of social sciences are intertwined so as to support the all-encompassing
meaning of the general pathways of learning proposed herein. Numerous ethical consequences, with a particular emphasis on
educational approaches, are derived from accepting such a general nature of learning and development. Naturally implied dialectical
form of evolution, according to which prosperous and favorable features of human creativity arise solely from problem-solving
situations, is further discussed. |
