The
Learning Series is the most comprehensive range of learning products
ever released. Written by Dr Peter Honey, it comprises an integrated
range of electronic products that help people become more effective
all-round learners.
Each
module in the series leads to a customised personal development
plan for the learner and a range of reporting features for both
the learner and the organisation. People's effectiveness is dependent
upon a number of equally important, inter-related factors which
make up the modules in The Learning Series:
| Their
overall learning styles, affecting the way they prefer to
learn. |
'Learning
style preferences determine the things people learn and
the ease with which they learn them. They exert a hidden,
but powerful, influence on the learning effectiveness.
'Hands-on'
learners prefer to have a go and learn through trial and
error.
'Tell
me' learners prefer to be thoroughly briefed before proceeding.
'Convince
me' learners want reassurance that the project makes sense.
'Show
me' learners want a demonstration from an acknowledged expert.
These
questions highlight individual learning style preferences,
equipping people to choose learning opportunities and how
to expand their repertoire and become the all-round learners
vital to the demands of today.

|
Their
motivation to learn, affecting their willingness and enthusiasm
for lifelong learning. |
Willing
learners are self-motivated, thrive on challenge and change,
and take responsibility for their learning and development.
The more they want to learn, the easier and more sustainable
it becomes - and the greater their achievement now and in
the future.
Yet
many people are wary of taking the first step - perhaps
because their enthusiasm for learning has been sapped by
negative past experiences.
Questions
from this area may come to the rescue by showing people
how to recapture their zest for learning. It explores different
beliefs about the importance of continuous learning and
shows people how to bolster their curiosity, courage and
resilience.
|
| Their
learning environment, affecting the quantity and quality of
their learning opportunities. |
Learning
flourishes when it is actively encouraged and supported.
Inevitably, the culture of the workplace makes continuous
learning easier or more difficult.
These
questions invite people to assess their working situation
from a learning perspective and shows them how to improve
it. Options include initiating more learning opportunities,
soliciting more support from managers and peers, and promoting
new systems and procedures that foster learning.
A learning-friendly
environment removes the obstacles to learning and creates
the platform for the success of your business.

|
Their
learning skills, affecting their behaviours and practices
as a lifelong learner. |
People
with relevant, up to date skills are the key to success.
Learning can justifiably claim to be the ultimate skill,
since it provides the gateway to all other skills.
From
these questions people can drill down into the skills involved
in exploiting learning opportunities, clarifying and transforming
learning. It also helps them to review their 'learning to
learn' skills and the underlying behaviours that aid and
abet learning.

The
Learning Needs Analysis Questionnaire gives an overall stock
take
of individual needs to become a more effective learner and helps
people decide which modules to focus on initially.
