Student response
Learning is commonly defined as a behavioral change in a person; it can be determined by assessing the behavioral change or an altered behavioral outcome of a situation or incident (Andrew B. Barron, 2015). When a person faces or encounters a condition that causes a change in their behavior or thought process, this is considered learning. Learning can take place informal settings such as a classroom or a job office or through informal means such as being taught by a colleague at work or informal group setting. In a business setting, the goal of learning is for employees to master the knowledge, skills, and behaviors emphasized in human resource development programs and to apply them to their day-to-day activities (Kumpikaite, 2008). People learn and process information through different ways, such as visually, which is seeing the material in a book or on a class board. The next style is an auditory learner, this is when a person learns through hearing the information being spoken, the following type is kinesthetic learning this is a hands-on approach when the student is physically manipulating an object such as building an engine or baking a cake they learning by doing the steps to accomplish the process (Anumeha Bhagat, 2015). According to Bhagat, the best style of learning is to avoid depending on a single style; additionally, studies have also shown that the most effective learners can adapt to the style which the learning situation requires (Anumeha Bhagat, 2015).
My learning style is a combination of visual and kinesthetic; when I can read the information or see what the task is that I am supposed to be doing along with being able to put my hands on or work through the problem, the information for myself is retained better.
Respectfully,
Michael
