People learn and develop in different ways and in different directions.

Learning is a complex neurological experience. As yet, we cannot detect why or how learning occurs or to what it can be attributed[1]but underlying, are theoretical concepts such as:

  • Behaviour: an earlier school of thought, based on the way we react and learn from circumstances when motivated
  • Structuralist: where learners are presented with an end goal and allowed to determine what has been achieved through thinking processes
  • Cognitive: recognising that people have unique thought and mental processes that affect their learning; attention, memory, language, reasoning and problem solving are key to determining the learning environment conducive to individual learning traits</ref> Bray,T.
