Learning about learning (page 2 of 2)

They internalise that experience with reflection

3. They develop abstract concepts e.g.; If I sit on the saddle the bike will go.

4. They have the opportunity to test their hypothesis in a new situation when the parent allows the child to sit on the bike.

It can be assumed that the bike has stabilizers/out-riding wheels, which keep the bike upright. The child goes to stage four sits on the bike and realises that just sitting on the saddle won't propel the bike. That is their next concrete experience, which starts the whole cycle (no pun intended) again. From here there may be more observation and reflection, forming abstract concepts and testing before the notion of pedals and pedaling is grasped and forward motion achieved. The next processes will include concepts of braking, steering and no doubt speed and a few collisions before mastery of the device results.



Honey and Mumford developed the Learning Styles Inventory, which accurately defines learning styles by a succession of questions. If you would like to discover your own learning style, whether you are an activist, theorist, reflector, or pragmatist and be part of a Dubai based learning research paper please email philip@knet.ae

In reality we use a collection of the different styles, even if you are a strong activist you are employing reflector traits in order to understand this article, but those experienced in their own self-development have to discovered how to learn more efficiently by seeking out learning deliver that corresponds to their preferred style or by improve learning acquisition by improving their weaker styles.
