Introduction Kolb’s Experiential Learning Cycle Session 1 BSB124 Working in Business

Learning Objectives At the end of the Session you should be able to:  Understand why the concept of ‘Learning Styles’ is important in business  Define Experiential Learning  Describe each of the stages in Kolb’s (1984) Learning Cycle  Explain how the stages in Kolb’s (1984) Learning Cycle are related to Learning Styles 2

BSB124 Working in Business Learning and Learning Styles Why is ‘learning’ important in business?  The ‘Half-life’ of knowledge (Machlup, 1962)  Design of training programs can affect learning  E.g. Leadership training (Yeo, 2007)  Individual Learning styles predict:  Job performance (O’Connor & Jackson, 2007; 2008)  Training and Performance Adaptability (Kozlowski et al., 2001)  Feedback-seeking behaviour (VandeWalle & Cummings, 1997). 3

BSB124 Working in Business Theories of learning  Learning: What is it?  “Any relatively permanent change in behaviour that occurs as a result of experience” (Robbins et al. 2008, p. 54)  Learning also refers to the acquisition of new knowledge, ideas and skills  Traditional approach in education/training  Didactic teaching, expert based etc.  Is this the natural way that humans learn?  If so, how do we learn to talk? To walk? To reason?  These skills are generally not taught using a didactic approach  How else can human’s learn? 4

What’s happening here? 5 “Birdie”

BSB124 Working in Business Example of learning  Toddler who has never seen anything fly but birds thinks that all flying objects are birds  Seeing an airplane flying prompts the child to call it a ‘birdie’  Mother says ‘no, that is not a bird, it is a plane’  Child experiences conflict upon realizing that not all flying objects are called ‘birds’. Child also realises that the object has no feathers.  Child therefore learns that there is more than one type of flying object and forms a hierarchical cognitive structure (‘scheme’) consisting of a superordinate class (flying objects) and two subordinate classes (birdies and airplanes). 6

BSB124 Working in Business A Constructivist approach  People construct knowledge for themselves (Piaget, 1971; Siegler & Ellis, 1996)  People are therefore seen as  Active  Learning many important lessons on their own  Intrinsically motivated to learn  Much of natural learning is due to people actively placing themselves in situations whereby they are likely to learn by experience 7

BSB124 Working in Business Experiential Learning  Thus much of learning is experiential  Silberman (2007) defines experiential learning as:  Learning through the use of activities that enable learners to experience what they are learning  The opportunity for learners to reflect on these experiences  Experiential Learning Theory (ELT) was proposed by Kolb (1984) to provide a complete model of the learning process in humans  Kolb (1984) was influenced by famous theorists, including Jean Piaget and John Dewey amongst others.  Kolb’s ELT has six propositions. 8

BSB124 Working in Business Kolb & Kolb (2005) 1.Learning is best conceived as a process, not in terms of outcomes 2.All learning is relearning 3.Learning requires the resolution of conflicts between dialectically opposed modes of adaptation to the world 4.Learning is a holistic process of adaptation to the world 5.Learning results from synergetic transactions between the person and the environment 6.Learning is the process of creating knowledge 9

BSB124 Working in Business Experiential Learning Kolb emphasises four elements of learning: 1.Concrete Experience 2.Reflective Observation 3.Abstract Conceptualisation 4.Active Experimentation 10

BSB124 Working in Business The Learning Cycle Concrete Experience Reflective Observation Abstract Conceptual- isation Active Experiment- ation 11

BSB124 Working in Business Using ELT to enhance learning (Kolb & Kolb 2005)  Respect for learners and their experience  Begin learning with the learner’s experience of the subject matter  Creating and holding a hospitable space for learning  Making space for conversational learning  Making space for the development of expertise  Making spaces for acting and reflecting  Making spaces for feeling and thinking  Making space for learners to take charge of their own learning 12

What have we covered? Employees will learn things differently to one another Experiential learning identifies a process by which knowledge is constructed and re- learned All learning is relearning 13

BSB124 Working in Business To Do:  Loan a KeePad from the Library or download the ResponseWare App to your mobile device  Bring to the workshop  Have a look at the content for Session 2  Session 2 is the beginning of tutorials for the semester 14
