Studying is when you physically engage in the process of organising
the study materials (e.g. books, cases and Acts) and using them to
acquire knowledge for a certain purpose (e.g. writing assignments
and passing exams).
Learning
Learning, on the other hand, is the impact of the process of studying
on the student. It is thus possible for one to collect all the necessary
study materials and engage in what one might tell oneself is studying,
without learning anything from that process.
3.2. Banking education and Subjective being:
Banking education refers to the mere absorption of information in the
sense that as a pupil you knew nothing and brain was empty and the
teacher was expected to fill it with information which must stuck in the
brain until examination time when it should be regurgitated on the
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pupil’s brain until they are withdrawn at the right time for a certain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.
In subjective being, the learner is expected to be an active participant
with values, ideas, experiences and a mind that has the potential to
reason critically. The learner should analyse, criticize and interpret
the information given by the teacher.

study in order to achieve your goals.
