"Learning is not a spectator sport."
Welcome
to a better way to train. Training sessions that
"talk at" participants abound. But learning
solutions that engage and involve are the ones
that make a lasting impact. Experiential learning
is the basis of every product we develop for a
good reason: it's a tried and true method of
training that makes learning stick. An increased
interest in learning, better long-term retention,
and an easier transfer of learning to the
workplace are just some of the advantages.
What are the
benefits?
Learner-focused approach encourages active
participation Hands-on involvement makes
learning more meaningful Honest
self-reflection inspires insight and specific
action Feedback from others completes an
accurate portrait of behavior Skill practice
improves confidence and the ability to transfer
learning Action planning enables individuals
to employ new skills immediately
Based on
the works several well-known adult learning
theorists, the HRDQ Experiential Learning ModelTM
illustrates the learning process as a fluid cycle
- with actions for both the facilitator and the
learner. From Focusing to Integrating, each phase
of the model furthers the movement toward the
learning goal.
What is
it?
Learning
centers around the individual and his/her active
involvement Lessons that are relevant to the
individual and his/her current situation
Participants develop a sense of responsibility for
their own learning Learning environment is
adaptable to the individual's needs What are some
examples? Constructing a model with
teammates Taking an assessment
Recognizing behaviors and preferences
Role-playing Exchanging feedback
Considering past experience in the workplace
Discussing insights with colleagues
Creating an action plan
for improvement
