Lesson Objectives(Addendum 8-10)
Describe four stages of the learning cycle / differentiate between four learning styles.
Describe your particular learning style, characteristics...
Match learning situations to the appropriate phase.

Learning Style
How do people learn best?
What difference does it make in designing training?

Concrete Experience
Specific experience (personal involvement)
Relate to people
Sensitive to feelings/people
Examples?

Reflective Observation
Observing (watching & listening)
Different perspectives
Look for meaning (thoughts/ feelings to form opinions)
Examples?

Kolb’s Learning Cycle
10
Abstract Conceptualization
Logical analysis (conclusion)
Systematic planning
Assimilate new ideas into old
Refer to outside theories
Create rules or models

12
Active Experimentation
Get things done (apply to other situations)
Take risks
– Experiment with similar situations
– Problem solving
Action oriented
13
Individual Learning Style
Preferred mode of learning
Preferred phase(s) of cycle
14
Preferred Style (5)
Some variation of each; most have a dominance (preference) in one or two stages! :–Concrete Experience–Reflective Observation–Abstract Conceptualization–Active Experimentation

Kolb’s Learning Cycle (8)
17
Diverger
Imaginative (sees many points of view)
Understands people (observes, then acts)
Brainstorms (generates lots of ideas)
Open minded (aware of feelings, values, attitudes)

Your LSI Results
What are the points on the axes?
What do you prefer more and what do you prefer less?
What does the shape of the rectangle tell about you?
28
Discuss in groups
Strengths Career choices Weaknesses Ways to strengthen weak side
(look on opposite side of diagram)
29
So what?
How can I use this to best advantage?
30
Applying the Learning Cycle
Individual strengths & weaknesses
Learning situations Career choices Training situations Team situations
31
Applying to Learning Situations
Keep a learning journal What were my aims? What happened? How did I feel about what
happened? What have I learned? Where does this lead me?
32
Apply to Career Choices
Business-related careers Examine where strengths lie Expect to change as you
mature
33
Apply to Training
Use the entire learning cycle
Try to meet all learning styles
Don’t emphasize only one side thinking/doing or concrete/abstract
34
Summary
Describe four stages of the learning cycle / differentiate between four learning styles.
Describe your particular learning style, characteristics...
Match learning situations to the appropriate phase.
