the study materials (e.g. books, cases and Acts) and using them to
acquire knowledge for a certain purpose (e.g. writing assignments

study materials and engage in what one might tell oneself is studying,
without learning anything from that process.

examination answer sheet. In other words facts are deposited into the
pupil’s brain until they are withdrawn at the right time for a certain
purpose.

the information given by the teacher.
