Based on qualitative methods, this research explicates three aspects of learning processes : transition, transfusion, and transmigration. In transition, learners move from some site to others. In transfusion learning, some professional with some special knowledge and skills move into school situation. In transmigration, new generation inherits some skills and knowledge from preceding generation. In this study, interviewing with sailors, nurses, professional on Japanese traditional music and instruments, and farmers, we shed light on these three aspects of learning processes.
