Along the same lines, Alfred North Whitehead had a very similar approach to education and learning as a whole saying it is cyclic with one important stage being precision analogous to the idea of practice with a later stage of generalization analogous to the idea of performance.
> Whitehead conceives of the student’s educational process of self-development as an organic and cyclic process in which each cycle consists of three stages: first the stage of romance, then the stage of precision, and finally, the stage of generalization. The first stage is all about “free exploration, initiated by wonder”, the second about the disciplined “acquirement of technique and detailed knowledge”, and the third about “the free application of what has been learned” [0]
