Abstract
The purpose of the study was to contribute to the model of formal education, non-formal and informal learning (Coombs & Ahmed, 1974) by exploring students’ knowledge about and experience with them. 553 students of humanities, educational sciences and economics participated in the study. Results show that (1) students of humanities have the highest level of knowledge about all three forms of education and learning. (2) As the students progress with their studies, their knowledge about the three forms of education and learning increases. No differences in students’ knowledge, involvement in non-formal and informal learning and teaching were found regarding monthly income and parents’ formal education. (3) More students with higher knowledge about three forms of education and learning list experience with non-formal learning and informal teaching.
