Popis: We present a refined form of a personal theory of learning which examines two distinct parts of the complex interaction between a learner's internal mental structures and his or her world of experience: what we call natural, conflicting , and alien experiences and the corresponding responses to them. In developing the theory we have come to realize that there are analogies between the experiences and the response of pupils, teachers, and researchers, and we suggest, therefore, that using the theory to analyze the learning of one group of learners can provide implications for the learning of others. The majority of the article concentrates on an example of analyzing for implications by describing the story of an incident in the authors' shared learning, an analysis of it, and some of the implications it provides for learning in general.
