B814 – Tutorial 1 – Learning & Development at Work
An eye-opening tutorial today on B814 outlining and observing the art of learning (while ironically engaged explicitly in the very same act of learning). Grateful to the class for providing insights on the four-stage model of Kolb (1984) and concepts relevant to HR practice and organisation development from their experiences.
I also managed to squeeze in a quick listen to the L&D podcast on Apple Podcasts. The episode where David James interviews Julianna Gill from Smallbrands is worth listening to. Julianna speaks on a topic within L&D referred to as ‘performance consulting’, which I noticed is very much the action learning component of Kolb’s 1984 model set out in a very pragmatic way.
Planning on approaching the TMAs and EMAs by collecting explanatory variables and forming an objective function to elaborate on the solution to an L&D question. I will ensure I search the literature for good examples, study relational aspects of Kolb’s model, and comment appropriately.
After applying multiple methods of analysis (perhaps using company-specific data), I may be able to comment on any significant findings I uncover on the relational model I specify. Only briefly, though. Not too many words available for me to play around with. We have an upper word limit of a few thousand words in the region.
