All the modes of learning assessment does
for you is to identify your initial disposition toward learning.
You might expect, for example, over the course of Leaders of Learning
to change your mind.
You might migrate around within one quadrant,
or move toward the boundaries of one quadrant or another.
If you land primarily in one quadrant though,
it gives you some sense of what your disposition is.
If you're more or less equally distributed across quadrants
it means that you're probably-- that your theory of learning
needs to be more specific, and more directed, and more focused.
The modes of learning framework is schematic
that is to say it takes very complicated ideas and puts them in boxes.
It does that so as to make distinctions that actually represent
the disagreements and debates in society at large about what learning is.
Its primarily there to help you begin to organize your thoughts,
and to begin to put those thoughts into a persuasive and articulate view of how
people learn that you can use to find your place in the learning sector.
