Unlocking Team Potential Through Play

Diagram of Honey & Mumford Learning Styles showing a four-part cycle: Activists (feeling), Reflectors (watching), Theorists (thinking), Pragmatists (doing).

  • Kolb's Experiential Learning Cycle suggests that it is not sufficient to simply learn from experiences, but to reflect on them in order to make generalisations and formulate concepts which can then be applied to new situations. The learner must make the link between theory and action by planning, acting out, reflecting and relating it back to the theory

  • Research shows that people learn best from experiences that are joyful, that meaningfully connect the play to their lives, actively engaging, allow testing things iteratively and are socially interactive.

  • Activists learn best when:

    • Thrown in at the deep end.

    • Working with others.

    • Trying new experiences.

    Reflectors learn best when:

    • Time to think before they have to take action.

    • Time to investigate before they have to take action.

    Pragmatists learn best when:

    • Connection between learning and its use in practice.

    • Learning is practically superior to the current way of doing things.

    • They get feedback from an expert.

    • There is a practical example they can copy or build on.

    Theorists learn best when:

    • Theory or logical model behind everything they learn.

    • Opportunity to ask questions.

    • Purpose behind everything they learn.
