In order to understand how a person learns, you must understand how the brain works. This is an interest of mine as I've always wondered what makes the mind tick...what is necessary to make you brain work and why does everyone learn differently.
I reviewed several websites and online journals in the hopes of answering this question.
Orginisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)
This website is a great read for those interested in the workings of the brain and how people learn. A center known as the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation (CERI) focuses on understanding how students of all age learn. They developed a project, known as the "Brain and Learning" project, which allows the center to understand the learning processes of a person throughout their life. It took 7 years to complete, but once completed, they were able to publish a publication on their findings, "Understanding the Brain: The Birth of a Learning Science". If you are interested, you should definitely take the time to read through the findings. It is really intriguing.
Learning and Problem Solving as an Iterative Process: Learner's Living Repository (LEAR)
This article is very interesting. It focuses on a learning repository that utilizes problem-solving techniques to solve issues in the working environment. It allows for a forum to create ways to ensure that learning and problem-solving occurs in the workplace.
