Each of us learns in different ways. We have generally developed particular preferences for our learning style and tend to stick to these ways. However, in a rapidly changing world, we need to extend our strategies and learning styles to enable learning to be transferred to new experiences.
This training activity starts with a brief introductory exercise, where participants move around and share their expectations of the activity, there is a discussion on the learning cycle and learning styles. Participants then work individually and in pairs to consider their own preferred learning styles, before working in two groups to design and use fun exercises that extend learning styles. The training activity ends with the completion of a learning log.
Who is it for: This training activity is intended for use by trainers to help participants identify their preferred ways of learning and to consider how these might be extended.
