also important internal factors that play a role in the process of learning. Cognitive theories emphasize the role of the mind in the organization, analysis, mental restructuring, interpretation, transformation of information into a meaningful experience. We can measure learning by measuring the thinking of our learners. Our behaviours are a result of how we think. Perceiving, thinking, imaging and remembering are cognitive mode of learning. There are a number of different theories that take…

According to David Kolb, a prominent educational theorist “learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” (Kolb, 1984, p. 38). Kolb’s methodology of learning helps individuals not only reflect on experiences but learn from them in a way that can help to benefit them in a given situation. Further, the learning cycle references four major stages of learning, each with its own unique contribution to situational and theoretical learning. The first…

Personal reflective account I have chosen to use Kolb 's (1931) experiential learning model of reflection to reflect on my personal experience of moving house. I considered this to be the best model to assist me in reflecting on my experience as it allowed me to reflect on what happened, what my experience was, why it happened and what I will do when/if it happened again (McLeod, 2010). What happened? I lived with my parents for 20 years, we had always lived in the same house, so I had never…

important to find out how reflection is carried out as this is an essential constituent in human learning and development. Reflection is a complex cognitive activity where evidence is generated from own practice, which can then be applied into practice. To discuss, what kind of new learning is possible from reflection, literature related three models of reflections is reviewed. John Dewey (Dewey, 1933, as cited in Rolfe, 2011, p.34), an eminent educationalist and philosopher claimed that…

David Kolb’s Learning Styles Inventory Of many theories established in the late 20th century, David Kolb was instrumental in identifying an important relationship between movement and learning. Kolb considered the many factors of an individual’s learning preference upon developing his model, the Learning Styles Inventory (LSI), in 1971. (Kolb, Alice Y., and David A. Kolb) Within this model, there were two central aspects addressed: perceiving and…

Adult Learning Paper Adult learning can be very different then how a child learns. It as proven by the research of two gentlemen, Malcolm Knowles and David Kolb. They both had their own, very similar, theories about the adult learner. Malcolm Knowles studied Andragogy and David Kolb researched experiential learning. In this paper, we will explore their theories and how it personally affects me. Although Knowles theory can pertain and be applied to both adults and children alike, it’s focus is…

Learning styles can best be described as the manner by which an individual naturally or habitually prefers to acquire information, synthesize, and implement it within his/her life (Blue James & Gardner, 1995). Learning styles therefore are varied and diverse as each individual gathers, processes, and analyzes information in accordance with his/her intelligence level (intellectual or IQ, emotional or EQ, and spiritual or SQ), his/her environment, and motivation.

Jeroboam is the fake mother in the story because he accepted a divided kingdom.Moses and David represent the real mom who doesn’t accept half a child. Jeroboam should have refused the kingdom just like Moses and David did. Solomon’s…
