Work Experience Learning and School Learning

There's often a seeming dichotomy between "the real world" and school. Now that you've experienced your first placement consider the learning in both and the transference.

1.) How is the learning on your work placement different from the learning in a school setting?

2.) What did you learn on your work placement that you bring back with you into school?

3.) What have you learnt through your formal schooling that you brought into your work placement?

4.) What have you "taken away" from work experience?

Remember, when commenting, respond in complete sentences to all 4 questions. Please edit. This is a public forum, what you say, and how you say it matter!
