Effective learning design requires a valid understanding of how people actually learn, yet the L&D field is filled with contradictory theories, persistent myths, and oversimplified models that lead to inconsistent outcomes. Without a clear, evidence-based concept of learning processes, instructional decisions become arbitrary rather than strategic, and effectiveness becomes more accidental than intentional.
This power session cuts through the confusion to provide a practical, science-based understanding of learning mechanisms that directly informs instructional decisions. You’ll explore several influential learning models, examine how each drives different teaching approaches, and understand why some deliver more consistent results in corporate environments than others.
Moving beyond theoretical debates, you’ll discover a learning framework that balances scientific validity with practical application—a model specifically calibrated for corporate L&D contexts where results matter more than academic purity. Stop designing instruction based on incomplete or outdated concepts of how people learn. Start applying a practical learning model that consistently drives effective instructional decisions and measurable performance improvement.
