Human-based Learning Task
A Human-based Learning Task is a learning task that is a human-based task (where a human improves performance).
- Context:
- It can range from being a Supervised Human-based Learning Task to being an Unsupervised Human-based Learning Task.
- ...
- It can be instantiated in Human Learning Acts, where humans engage actively in acquiring new knowledge or skills.
- It can involve direct instruction, such as lectures or tutorials, or experiential learning, such as project-based activities or internships.
- It can depend on social interactions, including peer learning, mentorship, or collaborative learning environments.
- It can leverage feedback mechanisms, such as teacher assessments or peer evaluations, to enhance learning outcomes.
- It can span across formal, informal, and non-formal education settings, including structured classrooms or community-based learning.
- It can be influenced by cognitive and emotional factors, requiring motivation, self-regulation, and empathy for effective learning.
- It can evolve with time, as learners progress from foundational knowledge to advanced skills through continuous learning.

- Example(s):
- Kindergarten, where young children learn through structured play and interaction.
- Elementary Schooling, focusing on developing literacy, numeracy, and social skills.
- Secondary Schooling, offering specialized subjects and preparing students for higher education or careers.
- College Education, where students pursue advanced knowledge in specific fields of study.
- Vocational Training, focusing on practical skills for specific jobs, such as carpentry or nursing.
- Lifelong Learning activities, including adult education programs or community workshops.
- Retraining.
- Upskilling.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- Automated Learning Task, which relies on machines or software to facilitate learning without human involvement.
- Algorithm-driven Learning Task, where artificial intelligence independently drives the learning process.
