Lessons Learnt
Traditional approaches could fall short of desired results
when dealing with a composite of learners with thinking style preferences distributed across all 4 quadrants.
New approach showed significant increased in socialization and group acceptance of the value of diversity in group projects.
17
LESSONS LEARNT
Students preferred modes of thinking were not in alignment of what is expected in the profession of cataloguing and classification. A-quadrant thinking preferences least preferred modes. They need to develop analytical, technical, and problem solving skills Seek opportunity in the curriculum to assist the students to practice lacking skills.
