Abstract:

Continues from Part 1 and investigates how the learning styles and training methods for individuals and groups can be matched to maximise the efficiency of the training programme. In a similar manner to identifying personal learning styles, training methods can be classified by their efficiency with the different learning-style groups. The training methods are divided into large and small group activities together with individual training processes. The learning styles of participants are then matched to the training styles.
