Abstract
Every day, young people go to school, participate in classes and school activities, and have learning experiences. The idea that students have learning experiences seems simple enough, but what do we mean when we talk of this? My purpose in writing this chapter is to focus on students’ learning experiences and to engage with different theoretical perspectives that might help teachers and others understand what happens for children and young people in schools.
