1. Was there anything in the previous three videos that helped you to see your experiences of managing people in a new light?

2. Did the videos suggest anything you can do to help prepare yourself to be a more effective learner on the course?

3. Can you see how we are using the Kolb learning cycle?

The three previous videos were:

• How Adults Learn
• The Kolb Cycle
• Cognitive Apprenticeship Model

Concepts and Practises which interested me were the later steps of the Cognitive Apprenticeship Model Methods  -- Articulation, Reflection, Exploration -- and the Sociology considerations of the model.

The latter steps were missing from some of the training I experienced in the past. There was no checking that learning had taken place. The same steps were missing in some of the training I have delivered in the past. I consider this the 'Monkey see, monkey do' effect. It marries well with some of the theories of CAT too, of how we become the people we are.

The first video had a lot of good advice in it about making one's own learning more effective, especially making use of the interactive aspects of this course and exploiting co-operation and competition opportunities. in group working.

I think I need to look at other explanations of the Kolb Cycle. I have covered it in previous learning experiences and it was better explained than in this instance.
