Putting Learning Styles to Work: An Integrated Approach

Abstract

Summarizes the Honey and Mumford learning styles questionnaire (LSQ) and their version of the learning cycle. Shows how these were used as tools for more effective learning with a group of managers. First, personal develop ment plans were produced, using the strong and low learning style preferences as a guide to the development solutions most likely to be effective. Uses actual cases to illustrate. Second, the LSQ results were used in the design of a development programme for these individuals as a group. The learning cycle was deployed in the overall design, the learning style preferences were taken as the basis for development, not just as a tool for analysis. An off‐the‐job programme assisted managers to understand not only their own preferred learning but that of others.
