Explain principles underpinning resource selection for learning and development
Learning principles should be integrated into the design of all training and training materials and resources. The importance of following learning with the opportunity of practice is in the quote:-
“At the heart of all experiential learning theory lies the fundamental belief that learning occurs when an individual is actively involved with concrete experience” (Walter and Marks 1981)
People learn and develop in different ways and in different directions, if they can be given the chance. One size of training and learning does not fit all.
Training must provide for practice of material and knowledge learnt. Time is required to assimilate what has been learned, to accept it, to understand it, and to build confidence in it. This requires practice and repetition of the learning. The practice material/training resource provided must be meaningful. The learning methods should be covered with as much variety to meet the needs of the learner as possible. The resources should be ‘fresh’, slightly challenging and not be overused as the learner may become bored with them.
As with all learning or training you need to
