Multiple Intelligences:

Multiple Intelligences Sternberg’s thoughts on Experiential Learning: “Because experience is arguably the most important source of learning for managers and leaders it makes sense to provide opportunities for individuals to capitalize on their experiences.” (Sternberg , 2002, p. 24 ). David Kolb’s Theory of Experiential Learning: Gardner’s thoughts for multiple intelligences allow students to learn and teachers to teach in seven ways, rather than one.

Workforce Education:

Workforce Education Watchers: prefer to be shown the information and tend to learn best through demonstration. Readers: prefer written instruction and learn best when they are working alone to figure out the solution. Doers: prefer to learn in a hands-on-approach through “trial and error” and learn best when doing so. Sensors: prefer to learn by their intuitive senses and learn best when they can create their own meaning for the task. (Gray & Herr, 1998, p. 161)

Informal Learning:

Informal Learning “the spontaneous, unstructured learning that goes on daily in home and neighborhoods, in the workplace and through various mass media.” (as cited in Merriam, et al, 2007, p. 35 ) “Informal learning is the most prevalent form of adult learning .” (Merriam, et al, 2007)
