I think I agree this might be more a matter of semantics than underlying world model. Specifically:
Bill.learning = “process of connecting information not known, to information that is known”
Shoshannah.learning = “model [...] consisting of 6 factors—Content, Knowledge Representation, Navigation, Debugging, Emotional Regulation, and Consolidation.” (note, I’m considering a 7th factor at the moment: which is transfer learning. This factor may actually bridge are two models.)
Bill.teaching = “applying a delivery of information for the learner with a specific goal in mind for what that learner should learn”
Shoshannah.teaching = [undefined so far], but actually “Another human facilitating steps in the learning process of a given human”
---
With those as our word-concept mappings, I’m mostly wondering what “learning” bottoms out to in your model? Like, how does one learn?
One way to conceptualize my model is as: Data → encoding → mapping → solution search → attention regulation → training runs
And the additional factor would be “transfer learning” or I guess fine-tuning (yourself) by noticing how what you learn applies to other areas as well.
And a teacher would facilitate this process by stepping in an providing content/support/debugging for each step that needs it.
I’m not sure why you are conceptualizing the learning goal as being part of the teacher and not the learner? I think they both hold goals, and I think learning can happen goal-driven or ‘free’, which I think is analoguous with the “play” versus “game” distinction in ludology—and slightly less tightly analoguous to exploration versus exploitation behavior.
Thank you for the clarification!

I’m curious if you agree with the above.
