INTRODUCTION
My most recent educational experience is at London Metropolitan University studying
Business and Management. I am completing full education in English in UK. My experience in
this university was great and I developed my knowledge about the business and management.
My motivation or gaols is to attain higher growth and success. My attendance was 100% in this
university I improved my different types of skills while studding at London Metropolitan
University about the business and management. These skills are time management, presentation,
decision making, analytical skill, communication skill etc. All these are useful skills for me that
helps in development of success in business. By using these skills, I can easily complete tasks
provided by company within given time and in effective manner. This turn to helps me in my
personal as well as professional growth. This university provided admission to the students who
belongs with different cultures and backgrounds. I also experienced about the importance of
different cultures and background in the university. My learning experience at London
Metropolitan University was enjoyable. This helped me in my education and also supported me
in completion of my course successfully. Apart from this, I faced some challenges while
studying at London Metropolitan University. These challenges are related with the
accommodations, finance, careers and employment, illness etc. All these are major challenges
that impacted on my study at London Metropolitan University. Despite of these challenges, I
enjoyed in studding at that university. There are different activities that were given by me such
as feedbacks from classmates, leadership activities etc. Along with this, my past learning
experienced influenced my view on learning which is studying another course at that university.
LEARNING THEORY ANALYSIS
I learned about the different theories in the class. These theories are Honey & Mumford,
Information Processing theory, Experiential learning by David Kolb etc. These theories helped
me during my course and also supported me in my learning (Bates, 2019). Honey & Mumford
theory identify four distinct preferences or styles the an individual use while learning.
Information Processing theory is an effective approach that is based on the thought that human
process the message they receive,, rather than simply responding to stimuli. Experiential learning
theory involves learning from experience. Therefore all these are effective theories of learning
but according to my, Honey & Mumford theory was more effective. According to the Dolnicar,

attendance is important within an university. This helped in gaining of better knowledge about
the course in systematic and effective manner. Therefore, I also learned that attendance is
essential for me in learning about the course.
SELF-ANALYSIS
Honey and Mumford providing different approaches of learning. These are helpful in
identification of the styles posses by everyone. This is based on the concept of identifying
respective learning styles and attributes so effective plan can be made for further development.
The four different approaches of learning according to this author includes Activist, Theorist,
Pragmatist and Reflector. The same is used by me for self analysis in identification of own
learning style (Bontchev and et. al., 2018).
Activist are those who want to learn by doing or accepting challenges of new
experiences. The activities generally covered under this includes puzzles, role play, problem
solving and brainstorming. In context of me, I have this kind of learning style because I always
want to learn something new by taking different challenging experiences (Lavoie and et. al.,
2018). I found that this help me to grab information more effectively and collectively in respect
to all determinants.
Theorist are those who want to learn with the aid of theories and enjoy models. I am not
good in same because I always lack in their effective application.
Pragmatist are those who seeks to learn new things when they able apply the same to real
world. I also always having same feeling before learning of the any new concept.
Reflector are those who learn from others observations and feedbacks. I am not good in
same because not able to taking the same in positive manner (Rodríguez Cepeda, 2018).
According to the Dolnicar, I am the self confident attender who want to learn new and apply the
same to real world.
CONCLUSION
There are basically two weakness identified by me through Honey & Mumford learning
style. These are difficulties in applying theories and lack of learning from observation and
feedbacks for another. Both are major weakness that impacts on my performance while learning
about the course. In order to overcome these weakness, there are some ways that explained as
below:

 Proper planning and analysis: It is important for me to firstly identify the impact of
theories. This will helps me in applying of all theories successfully. It is important for
analysing the concept and impact of theory that turn to helps in applying of Honey &
Mumford successfully.
 Proper communication: By communicating all information properly I can easily
influence another to provide information about my experience, knowledge etc. This will
helps me in my future growth and success.
