1. Introduction
Education experience
My education experience includes the primary, secondary and high school which I
completed in my country Romania 14 years ago. Then, I finished the high school education
and start to work. But after 14 years I have enrolled myself at university for further education.
Goal and motivation to gain experience
I always tried to demonstrate all my capabilities and talent to my superiors and to
people around me. I tried to make collaboration and learn more and more from them. Now for
a long period I feel that I am stuck, and I want to have more knowledge in this branch, and I
choose to study Business Management. I hope to discover as much as I can through Business
Management course, because exposes a variety of subjects such as accounting, business law
and ethics, economics, finance, management information systems, marketing,
operations management, organizational behaviour, and all of those I know will help me build
my future and aid me to became more that I am and give me a perspective in my life.
So, I want to gain information and knowledge to grow as a person and to get a better job. I
think I can achieve all of those by finishing university.
Attendance
My attendance at university I can’t say is 100% but I can say that it is ok.
What affected the attendance?
My attendance is disturbed because I also a hard worker working full-time and I have
a family and a baby boy so sometimes I had no one to leave him with .And also the COVID
19 was a factor too cause I had symptoms and I wasn’t feeling well so I wasn’t able to attend
my classes.
2. Learning style analysis
Honey and Mumford’s leadership styles theory and its comparison with kolb model
Honey and Mumford theory help an individual to learn various styles which are
depicted as under:
Reflector: An individual observe the situation from different perspectives for which they
collect data from all the sides and prefer to analyse them thoroughly from every possible
angle before coming to any decision(Bhatti, Abas, and Rana, 2021).

 Theorist: This type of learner integrate and convert dissimilar facts into the logical
theories by analysing and combining.
 Pragmatist: These learners strive to search the new ideas and get opportunity to
experiment with those ideas.
 Activist: These learners involve themselves into learning new experiences without
any bias.
Kolb model
Kolb model also help the people in learning which includes four stages which are as under:
 Concrete: In this learning, a learner physically experience the situation and required
to reflect in order to learn new skills and improved existing ones.
 Reflective: In this stage a learner reflects on the experience or the situation on
personal basis. An individual think to accomplish the goals by applying the
experience in different circumstances.
 Abstract: At this stage, an individual form own ideas and make modification on the
basis of reflection that arises from the reflection stage (Hassan, and et.al., 2021).
 Active: This is the stage where an individual applied the new ideas to the
surroundings and find the requirements of the modifications.
Types of attenders According to Dolnicar
There are many type of attenders which attend the course and school to gain
knowledge and experience. The students attend the classes whether offline by going to school
or through online mode by adopting the distances education mode.
3. Self-analysis
Analysis of preferred learning style
I prefer to adopt pragmatist learning style because I am able to learn best with any practical
activity that provides me opportunity to try out what has been learnt. I prefer group or
individual activities including practices, coaching and work experience. I am always keen to
find out the new ideas and activities and experiment it with the application of theory. I like to
act quickly and decisively and always confident to try out new ideas (Zhong, and Wang,
2021). I view the problems as challenges and like to find new ways of solving problem.

4. Conclusion
From the above discussion it has been concluded that an individual can learn learning
styles from various model. As the report has stated the Honey and Mumford theory which
help in learning through the different styles which includes reflector, theorist, pragmatist and
activist. Further, it explained the Kolb model that also assist in learning experience which is
consisted of four stages that includes concrete, reflective, abstract and active. Besides, the
report has discussed the types of attender according to the Dolnicar. It also made the analysis
of preferred learning styles and types of attender.
