INTRODUCTION
Learning development is an important aspect that plays an important role in the day to
day life of people. It is necessary that the individual must develop their learning so that they can
achieve the excellence that can help in performing day to day operations which requires the
improvement in the learning. This is beneficial in providing the effectiveness in better
understanding of the situation and the information that is being provided to the person. It requires
the dedication and motivation so that the development of learning can take place effectively. It is
one of the key aspects of a person's life that provides with the ability of having the better and
improved performance and making it a part of life (Amouzgar and et.al., 2018).
This report will explain about the various aspects of effective learning development. The
aim of the report is to analyse and understand the various aspects of the learning development.
MAIN BODY
Reflection on the innovation and technology in the construction industry
The reflection on the innovation and technology in the construction industry can be made
as I have learned and developed the various types of knowledge and skills that has helped me in
having the effective performance in learning and developing the skills (Darling-Hammond and
et.al., 2020). The complete information about what I have learned and what are the various
factors that I have founded can be understood with the help of the Gibbs Reflective Model.
This model is effective enough in helping me in reflecting to the information and the
learning and development process that has been performed in the innovation and technology in
the construction industry (Gibbs Reflective model, 2022).
Discription
In the description I can say that I have experienced the effectiveness in my learning
abilities as I have been able to focus on the information that has been provided to me. I have
learned and experienced that the technology and innovation in the construction industry will be
able to provide the effectiveness in the achievement of the better and improved methods that can
be helpful in creating the better solution to the problems that can come in the construction
industry. I have experienced that there can be better performance and sustainability in the
construction industry that can be achieved with the help of technology and innovation
(Nussenbaum and Hartley, 2019).

I have learnt that with the implementation of the technology and innovation in the
construction industry there can be improved performance and better efficiency in performing the
regular tasks that relates to the construction industry. This has provided me with the experience
that there can be improvement in creating and building the environment more effectively when
the technology and innovation is implemented in the construction industry (Denham and
Liverette, 2019). This has provided me
with the better understanding and learning of the various factors that can be seen in the
construction industry that has helped me in developing my learning.
Feelings and thoughts
In the process of the learning I had the various types of feelings and thoughts that has
helped me in understanding and having an opinion in the relation to the development. I had both
the positive and negative thoughts that have affected my experience about the learning as I have
been trying my best to effectively understand the information (Oyston, 2018). It made me
analyse the various factors of the learning and development that has been affected by the good
and bad feelings and thoughts in the relation to the technology and innovation in the construction
industry.
I had the good thoughts that made me have the positive opinion about the experience and
bad thoughts that led to the negative opinion. I had the good thought that I was able to learn and
develop the new skills and abilities that has helped me in analysing and understanding the
information. However, at some point I had the bad feelings and thoughts as I was lacking some
skills and qualities that is required to completely understand the information more effectively
(Fryer, Nakao and Thompson, 2019). This has made me to have both good and bad feelings and
thoughts about the experience that led to the different types of opinions in the relation to the
experience.
Evaluation
In the evaluation of the experience I can say that I had both the good and bad experience
while I was trying to understand the information and improve my learning and development
skills I had the various types of thoughts and feelings (Coles and Sinclair, 2018). In the process
of learning about the technology and innovation in the construction industry I had the good
experience that I was able to retain the maximum information as I was able to understand it

effectively because I have developed the various types of skills that was required to have the
better understanding of the information that has been provided to me.
In the process of learning I had some bad feelings that was the result of ineffective
understanding of the information. I felt bad about the areas where I was lacking some skills that
is required to have the better understanding of the information that has been provided to me (Carr
and et.al., 2018). I have experienced that I lack the skills of better communication, time
management and leadership skills that made me to face the problems in retaining the information
completely which resulted into creating a negative opinion in my mind for the experience that I
had while trying to develop my learning and development skills.
Analysis
In the analysis I can say that there was the effectiveness in my performance which has
helped me in retaining the information more accurately (Ellizar and et.al., 2018). This made me
to have the better understanding of the situation and the information that has been provided to
me. It can be analysed that the experience was better for me as I was able to understand and
develop new and effective skills that is required so that I will be able to have the effectiveness in
the future and develop my learning and development strategies more effectively. This can be
analysed that there was better presentation of the information that was related to the technology
and innovation in the construction industry that has helped me in having the efficiency in
developing the new and improved skills (Tennant, 2019).
Conclusion about learning
In the conclusion about what I have learned it can be said that I was able to have the
effective understanding and better retention of information (Adeani, Febriani and Syafryadin,
2020). This has happened because I was able to develop the various types of skills that helped in
having the effectiveness in performance and improving my learning and development skills. This
has been done because I focused on retaining the maximum information from the experience and
I made the strategies that helped me in having better focus and motivation so that I do not feel
that I am not interested in developing my skills.
I have retained the information effectively but there were some areas where I should have
changed my strategies and learned about the techniques and methods that can help me in
developing the skills of better communication, effective time management and better leadership
skills. I should have learned about the ways that can provide me with the methods of improving

and developing my weak areas so that I will be able to perform better and improve my learning
and development skills (Markkanen and et.al., 2020).
Action plan
In the action plan I can say that I will be making a personal development program that
can provide me with the better ability and information so that I can improve my weak areas in
which I am not able to perform better which is making me face the problems of ineffective
learning (Dhaliwal, Singh and Singh, 2018). I will be taking action and improve my skills so that
in the future whenever there is a situation like this that requires me to have the better and
effective skills will be handled effectively.
This will be able to make me retain and understand the complete information which will
be helpful in having the better understanding and development of my learning and development
strategies. I will be using the various techniques and tools that can provide me with the ability to
understand and retain the information more effectively and accurately which will be able to
provide me with effectiveness in handling the similar situations that can occur in the future.

the help of various tools and strategies that can provide the effectiveness in the process of
learning and development. The reflection to the learning and development can be done so that it
will be able to understand that what are the areas that can create problems in learning and
development. The reflection to the information can be effective in providing the information
about the areas where the improvement is required. This provides the efficiency in understanding
that what is the experience that can be developed by facing the situation in which the process of
learning and development took place. The areas where the improvement is required can be
handled by creating a personal development plan that can provide the complete information
about the tools and strategies that are required to be used so that the development can be done in
