in what might be called, in what is actually, in what is in fact

There is a name for that kind of learning.

agree Kirill Semenov : I just wonder why the asker choosed "Psychology" for the question + A term is above the general subject of a text as it was stated by the site officials at a forum, luckily :)

equals/is the same as/is

There are many ways of rephrasing this - basically what they are saying is that the process is the same as stealth learning - ie learning without knowing that you are learning.

other expressions would be 'what is in effect'

hope this is clear enough!

which is the same as / which can be referred to as

which is the same as / which can be referred to as / which can be called

Stealth learning = learning without realising/knowing that you are learning. See, for example, http://www.plasform.com.au/resources/persona.html.

So the sentence is saying that this is called stealth learning. This is the same as stealth learning.

And \"this\" = \"this learning..\" So \"this learning...\" is the same as stealth learning.
