TASK 1

1.1 the different learning styles

Notes:
Visual : Employees can better understand and learn through visual learning like image, pictures,
videos etc. BMW company is also use this learning style in training and development program.
It is direct impact up on the employees rather than other learning style. Other learning style is
also good but visually learning things affected to the employees. From this way company explain
charts, graph, symbols whereby employees easily get the point. Management can teach to the
employees is an easy way. Thus, learner concept has cleared easily about the information.
Auditory : Sometime management of BMW company teach the employees through sound,
speaking, and rhyme etc. Employees can better understand when trainer explain all the thing
Uses by mnemonic devices. It is helpful for the employees to concentrate in their work. If
employees can listen clearly whereby they work effectively. Thus, this way is better rather than
other way. It is beneficial for the company when employees works effectively. Thus, company
provide auditory learning whereby employee could clearly teach all the work.

Activist : Activist are those people who have an open mind. They discuss openly about the
problems and provide the problem solving session. They just collect the ideas and then
implement in it. They able to lead a group and they also involved in new experience, ideas. Due
to problem solving, Activist provide a positive environment for the employees. Employees
motivate early through the activist rather than other learning styles.
Reflector : they watching employees and observe their problem. They also collect the data then
they help to implement problem solution. They mostly spent time listening and observing then
they help to resolve the problem. From this way employees satisfied and reflector impact also
good up on the employees.
1.2 roles of different learning curves and its importance
Notes:
Graphically representation of learning curve also show employees performance whereby
employees shows their improvements and learn from their mistakes. It shows relationship

between time spent in learning and level of competency. Training and development programs
helps to enhance employees performance whereby employees learning curve become effectively.
Notes:
Enhance the skills :. Through the developing programs of BMW company help to improve
skills and knowledge. Trainer also help to improve employees weakness. It can help to improve
employees work.
Improve employee performance : Employees try to overcome their mistakes when they know
about the weakness. Thus, employee do their work from better way and their performance level
is improved.

Notes:
Consistency :
It means that trainer ensure that through the training that employees knew about the company
rules and procedures.
BMW company ensure through training that employees have a knowledge or experience.

1.3 contribution of learning theories and style
Notes:
Behaviourist approach: The process is based on the objectives are observed the changes in the
behaviour. Its depends on the new behaviour and new changes in behaviour. Examples:
establishing rules, bonus points, verbal reinforcer and repetitive practice etc.
Assumes, born our mind is a blank slate and after our mind shaped by punishment, positive and
negative reinforcement from BMW environment.
Positive: includes the adding of the something
Negative: removal of something
Punishment: which is, so that it is less like to occur in the future.
According to this theory, a little difference in the learning process of humans and others.
Therefore, same, can be carried out on the others as well as humans.
Here, that is defined as a change in behaviour in the learner.

These theories has a huge contribution, as it focuses on the often-necessary change required in a
learner's preconceptions and world view
Notes:
Cognitive concepts: Thus, it is change in knowledge which is store in memory, not just change
in behaviour.
Assumes, that our mind is an information processing system like as computer and see the world
depends on mental processes such as problem solving, perception.
Here, the knowledge is seen as a symbol of mental construction and learning is recognized by the
changes in learner plans.
