There has been much research done into learning theories and styles. The two I’m using are Kolb’s Experimental Learning Theory and Honey and Mumford’s Learning Style. Kolb’s theory (Www2.le.ac.uk‚ 2014)‚ is influenced on earlier work done by other educational theorist such as John Dewey‚ Kurt Lewin and Jean Piaget but Kolb was the first to represent his theory as a four stage learning process directly linking individuals learning pattern based upon one of the four stages (Nwlink.com‚ 2014). Much of Kolb’s theory is based around the individual’s

He illustrated that effective learning can be achieved through reflection and continuous awareness of the need to build upon the experience.

They illustrated ways of learning describing the cycle‚ which involve having an experience‚ reflecting on it‚ concluding from an experience and putting the theory

In this questionnaire there were four types of learning styles‚ which where activists‚ reflectors‚ theorists and pragmatists (Honey‚ 1973). In my group of seven we were made up of reflectors‚ theorists and pragmatists.

So‚ the excellent utilization of learning
