Reflection
At the commencement of the learning style assessment activity, I knew that people tend to
grasp concepts in a variety of ways. After completing this activity, it was clear to me that the
set of questionnaires sorted by Honey and Mumford can be used to determine a specific
learning style for the participant (Cockerton, 2002). The method is simple to execute and
provide quantifiable results that can be interpreted using easy plotting techniques.I can use
this knowledge to readily group employees in specific style at workplace. The employees can
further be assigned specially designed learning and development programscatering to their
individual learning styles (Van den Berg, 2015). This approach can help me reduce the
barrier in training and development of employees in my organisation and enhance the
efficiency.
