Challenging learning experiences: at work, case study
Reflect on a challenging learning experience that you have encountered in either a professional or personal environment. Select one of the experiences and, in 1050-1400 word paper, address the following items:
Describe attitudes and suppositions that the learner brought into the selected experience. If initial fear, anxiety, ambivalence, was experienced at the onset of the learning situation, attempt to account for these feelings in terms of classical conditioningprinciples.
Similarly, attempt to account for any positive emotions brought into the learning experience.
In regard to the learning experience itself, analyze what types of sensations and perceptive processes were involved.
1)Consider obstacles that may have occurred for the learner such as selective perception, rigidity, inappropriate schedules of reinforcement, and others.
2)Speculate on what type(s) of learning were involved in the selected experience (was it exclusively operant conditions, latent learning, observational learning, or a combination of multiple forms)?
3)Provide several solutions that would have enhanced the learning experience. Consider multiple intelligences and related learning styles in your formulation of this response.
