We find inspiration in Kolb\u2019s learning Circle (1984; 2014) and draw on literature, which develops arguments based on experiential learning (Dewey 1938). When students are learning outside the classroom the notion of \u2018context\u2019 is crucial, in this case, we brought learning processes to a small town in Cuba. We draw from a case with a group of students going to the field and unfold how their learning process is inspired by the field, setting the field, and how learning is a process where students gradually break free from classroom thinking. Furthermore, students start to develop their own research process, inspired by the context in which they are situated. We use Kolb\u2019s Learning Circle to discuss peer learning and shared learning and co-creation of knowledge by arguing that learning is not only an individual process. We argue that deep, and shared, learning is reached collectively and in collaboration with peers. Thus, learning builds on practice by students\u2019 cooperation and responsibility for their own learning process through Problem-based Learning (PBL). This leaves instructors with an additional role; not only as facilitators but as resource persons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Documents:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.staffs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alternative_Learning.docx\">Alternative_Learning.docx<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.staffs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Alternative_Learning.pdf\">Alternative_Learning.pdf<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.staffs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.staffs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\"><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/journals.staffs.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/\"><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volume: 3 Issue: 2 Year: 2018 Author(s): Vibeke Andersson Aalborg University, Denmark, Helene Balslev Clausen Aalborg University, Denmark This paper discusses learning processes when students are doing fieldwork for \u2018real-life\u2019 tasks set by an external stakeholder.
