| An efficient way to accomplish this
challenging task is to determine common
learning-difference profiles and match individualized
solutions to audiences differentiated by these
profiles. This is actually simpler than it
seems. Research helps us broadly describe four
learning orientation profiles. Below are descriptions for
mass customized learning environments that
fit each of the learning orientations: Transforming Learners prefer loosely
structured, flexible mentoring environments that promote
challenging goals, discovery, strategies, problem
solving, and self-managed learning.
Performing Learners prefer
semi-structured environments that stimulate personal
value and provide details, tasks, processes, and creative
interaction (hands-on) not exploration and great effort.
Conforming Learners prefer simple, safe,
low-learner control, structured environments that help
learners achieve comfortable, low-risk learning goals in
a linear fashion.
These descriptions
support the broad variability in learning from a
whole-person perspective, not simply in cognitive terms.
They consider how emotions and intentions influence
learning and thinking processes. These are powerful
influences that guide how successfully individuals intend
to learn. A closely matched learning environment will
clearly have a positive impact on the accessibility,
affordability, and quality challenges that now confront
global education and training. There is business related research called Person Environment Fit (PEF). PEF is the degree to which a person or their personality is compatible with their environment. More at: http://psychology.wikia.com/wiki/Person_environment_fit
