Ross

rosette

'award' is the definition.
(type of award or prize)

'involving group in traditional learning method' is the wordplay.
'involving' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'group' becomes 'set' (both can mean a collection).
'in traditional learning method' becomes 'rote' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'set' going inside 'rote' is 'ROSETTE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rosette that I've seen before include "Cockade" , "sign of support for party" , "decoration showing support for party" , "Mark of affiliation" , "Political supporter's ribbon" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
