LEARNING STRATEGIES AND STYLES; KOLB’S LEARNING STYLES; David Kolb, a leading theorist on experiential learning, argues that the learning process is not the same for all people. A learning style represents how individual choices made during the learning process affect what information is selected and how it is processed. A mode of learning is the individual’s orientation toward gathering and processing information during learning. Kolb proposed four basic modes of experiential learning: 1. Concrete Experience (CE) 2. Abstract Conceptualization (AC) 3. Reflective Observation (RO) 4. Active Experimentation (AE). Kolb identifies four learning styles: Divergent, Assimilation, Convergent, Accommodative; LEARNING STRATEGIES; Learning strategies represent the behavior and thoughts a learner engages in during learning. Learning strategies can be grouped into various categories: Rehearsal strategies, Elaboration strategies, Organizational strategies, Comprehension monitoring strategies, Affective strategies; PERCEPTUAL PREFERENCES; Wayne James and Michael Galbraith propose seven primary perceptual preferences: Print, Visual, Auditory, Interactive, Tactile/manipulative, Kinesthetic/psychomotor, Olfactory; GAGNÉ’S THEORY OF INSTRUCTION; Gagné proposed that human performance could be divided into five categories: Verbal Information, Intellectual Skills, Cognitive Strategies, Attitudes, Motor Skills; ASSESSING HRD NEEDS; Needs assessment is a process to identify an organization’s HRD needs. A needs assessment can identify discrepancies in skills required; LEVELS OF NEEDS ANALYSIS; STRATEGIC/ORGANIZATIONAL ANALYSIS is used to understand the characteristics of an organization; TASK ANALYSIS is a systematic collection of data about a job; PERSON ANALYSIS reveals who needs training; PRIORITIZING HRD NEEDS involves participation from individuals throughout the organization.
Understand the Problem
The question is exploring the various learning theories and strategies proposed by different theorists, specifically highlighting Kolb's learning styles, learning strategies, perceptual preferences, Gagné's theory of instruction, needs assessment in HRD, and the different levels of needs analysis. It seeks to understand the components and processes involved in assessing human resource development (HRD) needs.
Answer
Kolb's four learning styles are Diverging, Assimilating, Converging, and Accommodative.
David Kolb's model identifies four learning styles: Diverging, Assimilating, Converging, and Accommodative. These styles are based on a four-stage learning cycle: Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation.
Answer for screen readers
David Kolb's model identifies four learning styles: Diverging, Assimilating, Converging, and Accommodative. These styles are based on a four-stage learning cycle: Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization, and Active Experimentation.
More Information
Kolb's theory emphasizes the importance of actively engaging with the environment and reflecting on the experience to foster learning. It integrates both abstract and concrete thinking styles in a continuous cycle.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the learning cycle stages with the learning styles. Remember, the cycle refers to stages of learning while the styles describe preferences in learning.
