Hello tsv-ga,
Here are three web pages that describe Shakespeare's attitude to
learning in "Love's Labour's Lost".
Considerations of Shakespeare's attitude towards learning appear
frequently in this essay:
"Play Commentaries - Loves Labour's Lost", by Roger Peters (2002)
The Quaternary Institute

Chapter Two of the following publication devotes a number of pages to
pedagogy in Love's Labour's Lost:
"Pedagogy and Parenting in English Drama, 1560-1610: Flogging
Schoolmasters and Cockering Mothers", by Ursula A. Potter (A thesis
submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor
of Philosophy, Department of English University of Sydney, January,
2001)
University of Sydney Library - SETIS: The Scholarly Electronic Text
and Image Service

This final essay considers Shakespeare's teachers, including
Holofernes:
"'A Double Spirit of Teaching': What Shakespeare's Teachers Teach Us",
by
