Learning
Learning develops knowledge, understanding, skills or behaviours through experience, study, reflection or practice. It is broader than attending a formal course and may occur deliberately or incidentally. Useful workplace learning requires opportunities to interpret experience, test ideas and receive feedback. Different methods can suit different tasks; a preferred approach does not establish a fixed limit on how a person can learn.
Worked example
After a presentation, an employee reviews feedback, identifies a clearer explanation and tests it in the next meeting. The improvement develops through experience and reflection rather than attendance alone.
Common mistake
Do not treat learning preferences as proof that a person can only learn in one format. Assess the knowledge or performance actually developed.
