In 1984 a man by the name of David Kolb created a model based on the different ways that people learn.\u00a0 These learning styles have come to be known as \u201cKolb\u2019s model\u201d and are used today to determine the different ways in which certain personalities learn and absorb information.\u00a0 When you\u2019re setting goals for yourself it can sometimes help to understand a bit more about the ways in which you, as an individual, learn.<\/p>\n
Kolb believed that we learn by using four different styles of learning:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Learning by doing, or by experimenting with something.
\n\u2022 Learning by watching and being conscious of the observing of something.
\n\u2022 Learning by feeling, or by actively experiencing something, and
\n\u2022 Learning by thinking and conceptualizing something.<\/p>\n
These four styles of learning can be broken down even further by defining the type of \u201clearner\u201d a person is:<\/p>\n
\u2022 The activist.\u00a0 This type of learner uses intuition and perception instead of reasoning to learn new things.\u00a0
\n\u2022 The reflector.\u00a0 The reflector learns by watching and looking at the world from an entirely different perspective than other learners.\u00a0 These learners are highly imaginative and use this imagination to observe their own experiences.
\n\u2022 The theorist.\u00a0 This type of learner analyzes things logically and methodically.\u00a0 They look for a precise explanation of things as they are presented to them.
\n\u2022 The pragmatist.\u00a0 The pragmatist is a learner that uses the information they absorb in a practical way to further their knowledge.\u00a0 These types of learners are quick to get things done and are willing to take risks that other learners aren\u2019t willing to take.<\/p>\n
When you know what category of learning that you best fit into you\u2019ll be able to determine what works best for you to achieve your goals.\u00a0 You\u2019ll have a better understanding of how you absorb information and what you can do with this processed information as it applies to goals.<\/p>\n
Keep in mind that Kolb\u2019s model is just a sequence of learning theories and that many people will fall into more than one category when it comes to the way that they learn new things.\u00a0 As you start to set more goals for yourself you need to have a plan of how you are going to achieve these goals.\u00a0 Having goals is necessary but having the tools and the knowledge to reach these goals is just as important.\u00a0 After all, if you don\u2019t know what works best for you when it comes how you learn and grow how will you know what perceptions to follow and make a reality?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
