Learning Definition at VKE:
Learning at VKE is a continuous and transformational process of self-discovery in an inclusive environment where all learners develop a love for learning.
VKE draws inspiration from John Hattie’s Visible Learning research to strengthen further clarity.
“Learning is the process of developing surface, deep, and transfer understanding, where learners know where they are going, how they are progressing, and what their next steps are.”
What Learning Looks Like in Action at VKE:
Enquiry-Based
Learners ask questions, explore possibilities,investigate ideas and approach learning with curiosity.
Conceptual
Learners develop understanding through big ideas, patterns, and concepts that deepen thinking and enable transfer.
Collaborative
Learners work together, value diverse perspectives and co-construct understanding through shared meaning-making.
Connected
Learners connect prior knowledge with new learning, real-world contexts, and personal experiences to build relevance, coherence, and authenticity.
Invitational
Learners participate, contribute, and grow in ways that feel authentic and accessible.
Multi-sensorial
Learners engage multiple senses to strengthen perception, memory, emotional connection, and embodied understanding.
Transferable
Learners apply learning in new situations, make choices, create solutions, and take meaningful action based on understanding.
Reflective
Learners think about learning, recognise growth, identify next steps, and refine approaches to strengthen self-awareness and ownership.
