Chris Jackson’s Hybrid Model of Learning is based on a theory of learning and encompasses the credence that there is a common biological foundation in relation to positive and negative outcomes within the work environment, education and wide-ranging population, thus he fashioned a model arguably capable to predict one’s functional and dysfunctional performance within the workplace based on their personality and learning style. It is deemed a hybrid model as it combines biological principles of personality with individual cognitions and experiential instruments of learning used to control, discipline and re-express the biologically constructed scale of sensation seeking necessary for functional learning. These socio-cognitive mechanisms are …show more content…
Intuitive learning is stable and unchanging whereas conscious learning is exposed to further self-development and improvement. Functional learners are those who have the innate yearning to investigate and learn through sensation seeking and who have learnt how to direct their learning towards achieving productive results. Dysfunctional learners have an inherent desire to learn through their sensation seeking however have difficulty monitoring their ambitions. People who score weakly in sensation seeking often acquire noteworthy results in relation to conscientiousness, these individuals are proficient at what they do although are reluctant to participate in self-development …show more content…
A less to moderate score of sensation seeking implies that I exhibit an instinctive, equitable level of eagerness and desire when faced with the panorama of future sensation seeking learning prospects and experiences, it also infers that I relish a reasonably chaotic schedule and that I will not proceed with urgency into situations as I wish to consider the positive and negative consequences prior to taking action. This is however contradicted by my exceedingly low conscientious achiever result. Upon personal reflection of this declaration I believe this is a suitable judgment of my learning and subsequent workplace productivity however I deem that my poor conscientiousness score is a faultless depiction of myself, as I tend to rush into situations without the required evaluation of possible outcomes.
As displayed my most preferred learning style is goal orientated. As predicted I have notable self-confidence, which allows me to establish and achieve challenging goals, I believe this is advantageous and an accurate representation of myself as this tactic channels thinking resources towards more of an accomplishment

A SWOT analysis is a measure tool to summarize a company’s internal and external aspects. By measuring the company’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats and looking for improving solutions by using the strengths and opportunities to improve on the weaknesses and take the necessary actions concerning any threats a company can survive in today’s world market.
To diagnose my learning needs I must be honest and realistic about myself. The strengths I have as a leader consists of personal mastery and building a shared vision. Personal mastery is the discipline of continually clarifying and deepening our personal vision, of focusing our energies, of developing patience, and of seeing reality objectively (Senge, 2006). I have always strived to improve myself so that I can excel in every task that I set out to do. There ...
Anderson (2011) suggests that a dual learning style has an important role in the development of skills. Using learning styles allows the student to understand how they work best and what their preferred learning style is. However learning style theories have been criticised extensively by many, there are many educational psychologists who believe that there is little evidence for efficacy of most learning styles models. According to Greenfield (2007) the practice is “nonsense” from a neuroscientist point of view. Furthermore Henry (2007) believes “Humans have evolved to build a picture of the world through our senses working in unison, exploiting the immense interconnectivity that exists in the brain” (Henry, 2007).The foundation of being a good mentor is building a good working relationship with the student (Walsh, 2014). The student – mentor relationship is crucial to the students learning throughout the placement (Wilkes, 2006). All mentors when working with students must have effective professional and inter-professional working relationships which will enable and enhance to support the learning for students. Part of the skills required maintaining the relationship with students and the multi professional team include; being organised, prioritising, providing ongoing support and constructive feedback and being able to liaise with other

While reading Kolb 's Learning Styles Model and Experiential Learning Theory, I have identified myself as an accommodating learner. At first I was somewhat surprised, but the more I read about the learning styles, particularly after I completed Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory it made more sense. I have a very hands-on style, which matches perfectly with my enjoyment of performing tests to find the root cause of behavior that I’m investigating. However, sometimes I rush to make decisions on the impulse of having the task at hand finished, failing to analyze all the options that are available. Another element of the accommodate learning style that identifies me is the fact that I enjoy a good challenge. I found very interesting to solve difficult

Two strengths I learned during my Self Awareness assessment were being a good listener and showing loyalty. I really try to be a good listener in all situations. I like to hear the whole story or complete process in whatever it may be. I am cautious about making decisions without having all the details. I don't mind taking the time out to get the details. Yes, it may take some time up front and may not lead to a quick decision but in the long run it prevents mistakes and errors as well as misjudging which can lead to more heartache and pain down the road. Loyalty is also very important to me in the work center. Knowing that you are devoted and committed to the success of the organization will motivate your people to do the same. They also need to know that they can come to you with a problem whether it is personal or work related. This will allow them to be more open to bringing problems to your attention that could later have a disastrous effect on the organization in the future. Both pers...
Four decades of psychological research have taught us there is no one right way to learn. Our minds are as unique as our fingerprints. Our ability to learn is not necessarily related to high or low intelligence quotients, but rather a convergence of four important aspects of our perso...
The SWOT analysis is a useful tool for identifying our personal strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats to our plans and goals. According to a “Fuel My Motivation” article (2010), this analysis considers internal influences that can positively or negatively affect our ability to achieve our goals. The internal factors are our strengths and weaknesses. Also considered are opportunities and threats, which are external influences that can have a positive or negative impact on the ability to achieve our goals. I will share how the self-assessment instruments and self-exercises in this course have contributed to assessing and understanding my strengths and weaknesses. I will also discuss techniques I will use to leverage my strengths and understand my weaknesses. In addition, I will consider opportunities that I can take advantage of and the threats that can possibly impede my progress.
...he workplace. Individuals face many barriers and challenges along the way, however, the development of effective skills such as communication, self-reflection help overcome these. Individuals with positive attitudes are also more likely to succeed as shown through studies as they have greater power of resilience. Intrapersonal perception forms the foundations for success, but it is a better understanding of social interactions that combines with personal perceptions to achieve individual success.
Each of the three learning theories, Cognitivism, Constructivism, and Behaviorism, has worth and merit in my opinion. Yet, each one has its own unique qualities with one common factor, the learning process. It seems to me that the best teacher is one who would utilize all the theories of learning. However, if I look closely, I am most likely favoring one or two more than the others in my own instructional methods. I read the brief definition of these three theories and realized that I needed to examine a more in-depth explanation of each of them. The theory of cognitivism focuses on the mind of the learner
