2 Answers and Explanations

1 Answer: A, B (Behavioural, Cognitive)

Explanation: The two main approaches to learning theory are behavioural

(focusing on observable behaviors and responses) and cognitive (focusing

on mental processes like problem-solving) Extrinsic and intrinsic relate

to motivation, not learning approaches, while emulation and co-operative are not standard theories

2 Answer: C, D, E, F (Reflector, Pragmatist, Theorist, Activist)

Explanation: Honey and Mumford’s four learning styles are activist

(hands-on), reflector (observing), theorist (logical analysis), and pragmatist (practi-cal application) Hygienist, behaviouralist, rote, and cognitive are not part

of their model

3 Answer: B (Kolb)

Explanation: David Kolb is associated with experiential learning, which

emphasizes learning through experience and reflection Skinner is linked

to behavioural learning, and Honey with learning styles based on Kolb’s work

4 Answer: B (Reflect, form theory, try theory, repeat)

Explanation: Kolb’s experiential learning cycle starts with concrete

Trang 7

expe-ing theories), active experimentation (tryexpe-ing theories), and repeats as a con-tinuous cycle

5 Answer: B (False)

Explanation: Honey and Mumford’s theory suggests that individuals have

different learning styles (activist, reflector, theorist, pragmatist), so a single teaching or training approach is not effective for everyone

6 Answer: B, D, E (A course to help you with your longer term

abili-ties would be a development course, Knowledge acquired gradually through learning and instruction is an educational process, A course to help you meet a current job requirement would be a training course) Explanation: Development courses focus on long-term abilities,

educa-tional processes involve gradual learning, and training courses address im-mediate job needs Training is not for long-term abilities, and development

is not for current job requirements

7 Answer: A (True)

Explanation: Kolb’s experiential learning cycle is a continuous process,

cycling through experience, reflection, conceptualization, and experimen-tation

8 Answer: D (Pragmatist)

Explanation: Honey and Mumford’s pragmatist style prefers practical

ap-plication of ideas, testing theories in real-world settings

9 Answer: B (Observable behaviors and responses)

Explanation: Behavioural learning theory, associated with Skinner,

fo-cuses on observable behaviors shaped by stimuli, rewards, and punish-ments, not internal thought processes

10 Answer: B (Mental processes like problem-solving)

Explanation: Cognitive learning theory emphasizes internal mental

pro-cesses, such as understanding, problem-solving, and decision-making, un-like behavioural theory’s focus on external responses

11 Answer: B (Observing and analyzing experiences)

Explanation: Honey and Mumford’s reflector style involves observing

ex-periences, reflecting, and analyzing before acting, unlike activists who pre-fer action

12 Answer: B (Direct experience and reflection)

Explanation: Experiential learning, per Kolb, involves learning through

direct experience and reflecting on those experiences, not memorization

or theoretical instruction

Explanation: Training focuses on immediate job skills, while development

emphasizes long-term growth and career potential

14 Answer: B (Logical models and systems)

Explanation: Honey and Mumford’s theorist style prefers logical,

struc-tured models and systems, analyzing concepts methodically

Trang 8

Explanation: Behavioural learning theory, as developed by Skinner, uses

conditioning through rewards and punishments to shape behavior

Explanation: Kolb’s cycle includes abstract conceptualization, where

learn-ers form theories based on reflection

17 Answer: B (Enthusiasm for new experiences)

Explanation: Honey and Mumford’s activist style is characterized by

en-thusiasm for new experiences and hands-on learning

Explanation: Cognitive learning theory focuses on internal mental

pro-cesses, such as understanding and problem-solving

Explanation: Development courses focus on long-term growth, not

short-term, task-specific goals, which are characteristic of training

Explanation: Kolb’s experiential learning cycle applies to various settings,

including workplaces and informal learning, not just formal education

21 Answer: B (Practical application of ideas)

Explanation: Pragmatists focus on applying ideas practically, testing their

relevance in real-world scenarios

22 Answer: B (Skinner)

Explanation: Skinner’s work on operant conditioning significantly

influ-enced behavioural learning theory, unlike Kolb or Honey

Explanation: Training courses focus on immediate job skills, while

devel-opment courses enhance long-term career potential

Explanation: Kolb’s cycle involves reflecting on experiences to form new

ideas, which are then tested and refined

Explanation: Honey and Mumford’s learning styles are not fixed;

individ-uals may exhibit preferences but can adapt or develop other styles

Explanation: Cognitive learning emphasizes understanding and

problem-solving over rote memorization

27 Answer: B (Reflector)

Explanation: Reflectors enjoy group discussions, as they prefer observing,

listening, and analyzing before contributing

Trang 9

test theories in practice.

Explanation: Educational processes focus on broad, gradual learning, not

immediate skill application, which is characteristic of training

Explanation: Honey and Mumford’s learning styles are derived from Kolb’s

experiential learning theory, adapting it into four distinct styles

31 Answer: B (Focus on immediate job-related skills)

Explanation: Training courses are designed to develop skills for current

job requirements, unlike development courses, which focus on long-term growth
