Origami Heart Training Plan: Academic Summary

Honey and Mumford’s learning style was used in coming up with the training plan. This is because the topic is practical, and it requires learning, observation, and constant practice to achieve the objective of the training. In arriving at the aims and purposes, the method of C-SMART is vital. The purpose and goal of the training were challenging at a reasonable level. Training objectives and targets were clearly defined, and what was expected of the trainees was clearly stated. Demonstration of what was required of them was well put in the video. The goal to be able to learn how to make an origami heart was achievable within a reasonable timeframe. At the end of the training program, there is a need to access and evaluate what the trainees have learned. By understanding what the parties have learned during their period of training, it will determine how evaluation is done during and at the end of the practice.

The LSQ model has been heavily used in the field of applied management to improve training and education (Duffy & Duff, 2002). The learning style further increases learning in the organization, and more also improves factor analysis and validity (Swailes & Senior, 1999). The model is very reliable, and it helps to measure inventory in learning. Testing of the model has further proven that it is effective in meeting objectives and extracting learning styles (Penger, 2009). The learning style questionnaire has been effective in the management of knowledge, and it increases learning styles (Hayes & Allinson, 1988).
