My thoughts:

It is a continuous process cycle that needs to be integrated into our daily operations in work and personal life (e.g., a habit?). It can be complex due to external factors beyond one's control.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts:

1. Recognising workplace learning methods i.e. observation, demonstration, feedback, scaffold and learning etc.

2. Understanding workplace learning enablers and challenges.

3. Considerations for workplace learning implementation i.e. People, Access to Learning, Resources and Time for Practice.

To have meaningful and successful workplace learning programmes, we need alignment, drinve and a growth mindset of all people involved. Having plans are not enough.

My thoughts: Work to Learn, Learn to Work.

How various Workplace Learning Methods can be applied in our daily work. Sharing of experiences by classmates offered different POVs and become part of my learning process as well.

1. The informal learning that took place during the workshop. The discussions with other participants were especially helpful in tackling my problem in the organization. This experience reinforced the idea that learning happens all the time and comes in many forms.

2. Workplace learning is a continuous process that requires a holistic approach to be effective. It involves not only the learning methods but also the underlying issues of the learner and how we execute it.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts:

The various workplace learning methods shared today triggered a deeper reflection on past work experiences that justified on hindsight on certain happenings to why it happened and how it was resolved.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts: Workplace learning is not so straightforward as we are dealing with humans with different needs, wants and emotions.

Workplace learning is one of the more effective ways in implementing interventions in addressing pain points in an organisation.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts:

Workplace learning is a crucial element for continuous growth and innovation within any organization. It is not just a formal process but an entire learning ecosystem and its success depends on addressing both the human and organizational elements involved.

Workplace learning needs to be authentic, directly applicable and allow for the timely acquisition of knowledge with expert guidance readily available. Some ways to address challenges that may surface is to:

break down complex processes

foster a conducive learning environment, and not rushing to solutions are vital for effective learning

consider various factors like access to learning resources, time for practice, and opportunities for observation and feedback to make learning successful

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts: I have learnt that there are many methods to achieve workplace learning outcomes. Most importantly, as learner myself I have to stay open and be intuitive to experience different ways of learning and be bold to apply them to benefit not only at workplace but personal life as well.

Thank you very much Clare :)

My thoughts: Gives a baseline fundamental understanding from a knowledge standpoint what WPL is.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts:

WPL requires buy in from top management

Very impactful to learn about the different methods of WPL

Learnt about the various applications of WPL in different companies

Mindset shift is crucial for both employers & employees in WPL

Enjoyed the balloon making session very much - I will remember this session for many years to come, thank you Clare!

My thoughts:

1. Doing own research, sequencing the tasks, peer discussions, studying the finished job of others

2. Conquer your fears. Some motivation (from others and myself) is needed to help overcome the fear, accept the challenge, and complete the task.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts: Accepting the challenge, space for learning, observing how the task is being done (Tricks of the Trade) via a more experienced colleague, above studying the SOP.

# data[].attributes.body
Workplace learning methods

adopted:

Observing demonstrations.

Trial and erro.

My thoughts:

Do not rush into solutioning. Understanding the problem / problem satement clearly must be the first step.

Breaking a complex process into bite-size components will make things easier.

Where possible, inject fun into a learning.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts:

1. Giving manual or guidance doesn't mean learning will take place effectively. Every learner is different and they learn differently.

2. While streamlining task may be more effective and faster, it also take away the chance for everyone to learn.

Workplace Method used:

1. Tricks of Trade

2. Study the finished work of others

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts:

Learning method: Doing own research

On the experience: Having no instructions pave way for self-exploratory. However, given the nature of some learners and their learning styles, giving some guidelines will help them in managing their learning process. The guidelines become even more important if the task is time specific.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts: How we can overcome challenges by doing our own research and working with team members to share thoughts and opinions, to find the best way to mitigate.

1. Doing Own Research

2. Discussion with Peers

3. Sequencing of tasks

4. Studying finished product of others

5. Trial and Error

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts:

Engaging and Fun...learning experienced was a step-by-step process (missed out but reflecting from past experience) through Observation.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts: Workplace learning methods: demonstration and feedback.

Demonstration was shown. Steps were clearly demonstrated with explanation as to why certain steps are done. This give confidence. Feedback was also given which helps tremendously.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts: Self reflection. Trying to recap what the trainer has demonstrated and applied on making the balloon.

# data[].attributes.body
Primarily demonstration. It is through demonstration that oftentimes tricks of the trade are shared, which generally will not be captured in written SOPs.
