Learning dimensions are clusters of attitudes, values and dispositions, rather than capabilities or skills. They frame the way you approach a new learning opportunity.
They:
- Are personal qualities necessary for learning
- Enable awareness understanding and performance
- Embody thoughts, feelings and action
- Are deeper and more holistic than learning styles or preferences
- Are best understood in relation to a context or situation
While some dimensions may be stronger or more familiar to us than others, they are all found in each of us – and with the right kind of learning and coaching, they can all be improved. The dimensions we are strongest in can be used to help us improve on and develop the other dimensions.
When you understand your own Learning Power you become more self-aware and can reflect on your own Learning Journeys. You can use your Learning Power to find a way towards a solution in any context in life.
Learning Power dimensions are personal qualities, which we all use in learning all the time, even if we are unaware of doing it. They provide us with a language to become aware of our learning as individuals and in teams.
Learning Power dimensions are deeper than styles or preferences, and they embody thoughts, feelings and actions. Learning Power is best understood in a particular context or in relation to a particular purpose. It is likely that your Learning Power will vary somewhat depending on where you are and with whom you are working. Learning Power flourishes in communities where there is high trust and a shared language – and this shared language can be aural, visual and written.
