There are currently 86 questions tagged learning
The psychological process by which children gain and retain knowledge. For questions on how to teach, please see the "Teaching" tag. For more general questions on providing information and instruction, see the "Education" tag. For questions specific to a school environment, see the "School" tag.
Both tags are from early 2011, so already pretty old.
Stack Exchange got another beta site, Psychology & Neuroscience Beta.
It strikes me as odd that both tags seem to be geared towards questions on topic on Psychology & Neuroscience Beta, while they are maybe not so useful here.
- psychology is to some extent a synonym of research.
- Both tags are often misused, e. g. learning as a synonym of education or teaching, while psychology is used as a synonym of behavior.
I want to discuss what to dow with these tags.
Do we need them (both)? If so, do we need to change their scope? Or should they be removed and become synonyms of the tags most often confused with?
For example, could psychology often be covered by behavior and research? Is the usage of learning too counter-intuitive ("I want my child to learn this or that, hence I tag it learning")?
