She should be summoing him. LOL It was during her fight with the Boarbatusk that something sparked events that soon made her move past who she once was. Ruby trying to give her advice on how to defeat the Boarbatusk is what sparked her going off on Ruby in the hall, which led to her stomping off to go talk to Port, which led to him giving her advice.

It's not that she learned from the Boarbatusk, it's that the fight with it helped her to change or helped her life change.

The Giant Armor didn't teach her anything either, but defeating it was her ticket to Beacon Academy, due to the bet Jacques made with her (according to the manga).
