How Do We Learn : Kolb Learning Style Inventory (LSI) is designed to help you understand how you learn best in educational settings and in everyday life. Learning can be described as a cycle made of up four basic phases. The LSI takes you through those 4 phases to give you a better understanding of how you learn. Knowing more about your learning style can help you understand:
- how to maximize your learning from educational programs
- how you solve problems
- how you work in teams
- how to manage disagreement and conflict
- how you make career choices
- how to improve personal and professional relationships
I would suggest for you to complete the LSI and record your scores. You can then plot your scores on the LSI Grid.
The benefits of this process is to apply what you know about your learning style to:
- solving problems
- working in teams
- resolving conflict
- communicating at work
- communicating at home
- being a parent
- managing money
- considering a career
