Kolb’s Learning Styles

In order to train individuals effectively, the trainer must understand that there are four ways that an individual can learn. Although each individual has a preferred style, all four elements must be included for learning to be effective. This module will look at David Kolb’s four stage learning process and the four related styles of learning.
Kolb’s learning theory was published in 1984 and sets out four distinct learning styles, which are based on a four-stage learning cycle. Kolb explains that different people naturally prefer a certain single different learning style.
