    Individual learning refers to how individuals acquire knowledge through their own reflection on experiences and interactions with others and the environment. It is an individual process even though learning occurs in a social context. There are various theories that describe individual learning processes. David Kolb's learning cycle theory states that effective learning involves having a concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation. Learning styles theories classify learners as activists, reflectors, theorists, or pragmatists based on their preferred learning approaches. The theory of competence describes a four stage process from unconscious incompetence to unconscious competence as individuals gain skills through practice and experience.

    What is Individual Learning?


    Posted on July 21, 2011 by Julie Hannan
    Why Individual Learning?
    Learning (v): To acquire knowledge or skill through study, instruction, or experience.
    Understanding (n): The mental process of a person who comprehends. To be thoroughly
    familiar with a skill or piece of information means that a person really owns that knowledge
    or skill and is able to apply and generalize it in different situations.

    As an Individual Learning Specialist, I am committed not only to the acquisition of


    knowledge and skills, but to the deep understanding needed for a child to apply, transfer,
    and generalize information. This deep understanding often requires personalized instruction:
    weaving together pieces of information and hanging new learning on individual experiences
    and strengths. My students begin to learn and appreciate how their unique brains work.

    Individual learning begins with the interest, engagement, and motivation of the learner. The
    teacher and learner must act as a team with the teacher providing opportunities for
    discovery and connections to be made by personalizing the delivery and pacing of
    instruction. Inquiry into the why and the how creates lasting, deep understanding.
    Individual learning delivered through dynamic, multi-sensory instruction takes into account
    a person’s unique brain, life experiences, and strengths leads to true understanding.
    Making learning personal, engaging, and fun is Sparkle Spot Learning’s model of teaching.
    Your child will feel energized and successful because truly understanding is the key to
    developing skills and creating a life-long love of learning.

    iNDIVIDUAL LEARNING
    All individuals learn- whether they do it consciously or unconsciously. It is afundamental requirement of
    existence.
    Individual learning is defined as

    Prof David Merrill
    asserts:"
    ... the social context of a learning environment may provide support for itsmembers, nevertheless the
    change in cognitive structure and the acquisitionof knowledge and skill is and individual event.
    "Here, we refer individual learning in the context of organization. In otherwords it implies that
    How an individual learns in an organization and how is itimportant in an organization.

    Theory of Learning Cycle (By David Kolb)


    In order to learn from an experience, you have to go through the learningc ycle. David Kolb stated
    that for true learning to take place, we need tohave an experience, reflect upon the
    experience, make sense of it andfinally apply our theories to our lives by planning what we
    would do nexttime we were in the same or similar situation. Learning is inhibited when alearner misses
    one of Kolb’s stages.
    based on Kolbs learning Cycle,
    Peter honey and Alan Mumford
    made anattempt to classify individuals into four groups based on their learningstyles.
    Activist:
    P e o p l e w h o l e a r n t h r o u g h d o i n g a n d p r e f e r a c t i v i t y b a s e d development.
    They do not effectively, respond well to lectures or
    highlyr e f l e c t i v e a c t i v i t y . . t h e y p r e f e r t o l e a r n t h r o u g h i n v o l v i n g e x c e r c i s e s , proble
    ms, tasks etc
    Reflector:
    Reflectors are people who enjoy reviewing and
    considerings i t u a t i o n s a n d e v e n t s . I n g r o u p s t h e y o b s e r v e a n d r e f l e c t r a t h e r t h a n a
    ctively join or lead the discussion. They feel uncomfortable if they areput into limelight without
    prior warning.
    Theorist:
    Theorist like to know theories behind a piece of learning, theyprefer to learn from research, data,
    models and information. They likeLogic and are rational and analytical in a leaning
    situation. They will beuncomfortable with high emotion and feelings.
    Pragmatist:
    They prefer practicality to theory and learn effectively whent h e y a r e a b l e t o a p p l y t h e l e a r n i n g
    t o t h e s i t u a t i o n a n d t h e r e a l w o r l d . They seek out new ideas and want to try them out drawing
    links betweenthe subject and their current
    jobs. T h u s b a s e d o n t h e l e a r n i n g s t y l e s o f t h e i n d i v i d u a l s a n a p p r o p r i a t
    e learning method must be designed for every individual.

    Theory of Competence:
    This theory states that learning is a four stage process, which involves the journey from unconscious
    incompetence to unconscious competence.
    1.
    Unconscious incompetence:
    The individual neither understands
    nork n o w s h o w t o d o s o m e t h i n g , n o r r e c o g n i z e s t h e d e f i c i t , n o r h a s a desir
    e to address it
    2.
    Conscious incompetence:
    T h o u g h t h e i n d i v i d u a l d o e s n o t understand or know how to do
    something, he or she does recognizethe deficit, without yet addressing it.
    3.
    Conscious competence:
    The individual understands or knows how todo something. However, demonstrating the skill or
    knowledge requiresa great deal of consciousness or concentration.
    4.
    Unconscious competence:
    The individual has had so much practicew i t h a s k i l l t h a t i t b e c o m e s " s e c o n d n a t u r e "
    a n d c a n b e p e r f o r m e d easily (often without concentrating too deeply). He or she may or maynot be
    able to teach it to others, depending upon how and when it waslearned
