20 January Nature of Man and Society (..function...place..)

How do people prefer to learn?

In classrooms?

Via computers (traditonal elearning?)

From books?

Informally?

Does it matter when we devise corporate learning programs?

Is there any correlation between preferences and results?

Is preference based on the individual? the job function? budget?

What do people value the most in their lives - aside from life itself?

Status, spirituality, respect, power - something else? Is it an "end" or a means to an end? Does it change based on life circumstances and the context? Yes - of course.

Therefore we need to understand this in terms of how we help people learn. It is why informal learning is so important - it is also involuntary - we learn whether we try to or not - and we may fail when we refuse to apply what we have learned.

What have we (the learning function) learned informally that we refuse to apply? Why?
