TASK 1
1.1 Different Learning Style:
Organisations needs to provide its workforce with proper learning opportunities as to
keep on evolving into better performing personnel. Learning basically is linked with the concept
of knowledge, behaviour, values, preferences and skills (Armstrong and Taylor, 2014). Learning
is defined by acquiring any new concept, modification in working or thinking or any acquisition
which has boosted performance of a person.
Many experts have given their views and theories about learning. They have defined
different learning styles as per their research. researcher’s like David Kolb supported certain type
learning, while Peter honey and Alan Mumford supported a different style of learning.
Comparison between 2 famous learning styles is as follows:
 Kolb's Learning Style: David Kolb has given a learning style which suggests that four
leaning styles are followed by people which is based upon the four stage learning cycle.
The four stages are:

◦ Divergence: People who come under this learning style are the one who like to wait
and watch rather than just reacting immediately. These types of people are good in
artistic work which requires brainstorming and patience. They are not great with
physical jobs. This learning style is people focused.
◦ Assimilation: Pure conceptual and logical knowledge is followed by the people who
fall under this learning style. These people are concept focused (Bakker and Leiter,
2010). They are found to be good in scientific research and inventions.
◦ Convergence: This style focus on practical work unlike previous two styles. People
are really good at practical problem solving.
◦ Accommodation: This is an interesting style as it states that people who follow this
style rely on their instincts and inner feelings rather than practical reasoning.
