Aspects of learning
Introduction
We plan to focus this student led seminar on the 3 most important
aspects of learning.
1. Learning by doing
2. Listening learning
3. Seeing learning
Definition of learning
Learning is the cognitive process of acquiring skills or knowledge.
1. Learning by Doing
It is how we obtain most of our knowledge throughout life.
As we are learning we are unaware of the knowledge we are obtaining.
1. Learning by Doing
For Example
When learning to drive we didn't go to lectures on how to do it.
We just got in the car and learned by experience.
1. Learning by Doing
In most business situations people are given brief instructions of how to do the job.
But they obtain most of their knowledge by experiencing it.
Trial and error.
1. Learning by Doing
1. Learning by Doing
It is defined as:
The capability of workers to improve their productivity by regularly
repeating the same type of action. The increased productivity is
achieved through practice, self-perfection and minor innovations.
2.Learning by Listening
Definition of Listening:
It’s an active activity that involves receiving, gathering, and perceiving
a message with intent to respond
In an organisation
In an organisation, listening is of the most important part.
One has to listen to get the information transmitted.
Listening will improve communication among members of
an organisation.
Effective Listening
Effective listening is reached when attention is paid to what’s being
communicated.

Reply when message transmitted to show that you paid attention.

Impact of Visual learning on a business
Due to the diversity of learning types that may be working in a business the business will need to accommodate for them.
Impact of Visual learning on a business
With visual learners this would most easily be applied by providing introduction and training videos as well as an interactive programme to test their learning.
Visual learning Aids
Visual learning Aids
Technology has played a huge part in recent years in helping make
different forms of visual learning aids available.
1. Laptops2. Blackberries3. I-Phone4. I-Pad5. Mobile Phones
Visual learning Aids
These inventions have helped people receive emails and other forms of information.
This has helped greatly especially for people who do not respond to learning by listening very well as these forms are mobile and visual.
An aspect of learning
The video clip we are about to show is an interactive clip and clearly
incorporates the 3 main aspects of learning.
