I would say that a scientific approach is definitely more formal than an everyday approach to learning, because learning by books and through scientific experiments requires you to write about your observations and expand on them. An everyday approach to learning is closer to learning from your mistakes and through observations without putting it onto paper or describing it thoroughly. However, you are still learning something in both cases. Suppose you are trying to find the fastest route to your house. You would test different routes and find which one is fastest and you would think of this as an everyday approach to learning, but there is still some aspect of science to this. You could think of it as an experiment, make the routes your independent variable and your time the dependent variable. It matters how you think about it
