It also helps me in improving my personal skills and develop mypersonality as well. Confidence of speaking in front of public is also improved throughthis which is an essential skill to work in an organization.Social networks: To get socialize through social networking is another way of self-managed learning. From my experience, virtual community such as Facebook, Twitter,My year book and many more plays a significant role in making an individual learn.Through research, I come to know that many people spend more than two hours a day forsharing their ideas with other people and learn new skills (Fink, 2013).

Theorist: From this style, I learn many things, my experience it is important to thinkproblems step by step manner. Such as lectures, systems, case studies, and reading(Floyd, 2012). It is not helpful to communicate with experts.1.2 Evaluating ways in which lifelong learning and professional context can be encouragedTheory of learning and professional life can be encouraged by using:Honey and Mumford learning styles: To understand the particular learning style, Honey and Mumford style is proves to be thebest which includes: Reflector: People who fall in this category learn from watching others and thinking theway to perform work and review what happened. For these individuals, lectures prove tobe helpful as they provide complete explanation to them.Pragmatist: These people like to apply their learning to actual practice to see if it workslike in laboratories as well as through the way of observation and field work. Activist: These people love taking challenges and get always ready to take risk (Gilbertand Bell, 2014). Their choices are generally problem solving, and small group discussion.This model has improved my learning style and encouraged me to learn in a way inwhich I am the most comfortable.Kolb’s experimental learning theoryKolb’s experimental learning theory works on two levels (Gravill and Compeau, 2008). Ithas four stage cycle of learning with separate learning style.Concrete experience: From this stage, my experience by learning is that I will workwith new ideas and get experience for self-managed learning.Reflective observation: It is necessary for me to review and reflect on the experience.Abstract Conceptualization: Reflection gives rise to new ideas for me (Hay, 2010).Also, adopt an existing concept and learn them by experiencing proves to be helpful forself-managed learning. Active Experimentation:My experience by learning this activity is that it is importantthat whatever I have learned should be applied on work to see the final results.
