Here are the results of the Frequency of Learning survey. They show (in % terms<\/strong>) how frequently learning takes place in each of the 15 specified ways. The highlighted areas show the time frame where the most frequent learning takes place<\/p>\n

A number of features have emerged:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Reading<\/strong> is the most frequent pro-active daily activity for those over 40 years of age, whilst for those under 40 it is watching<\/strong> videos and listening to podcasts.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Those in their 30s are most likely to have a mentor<\/strong> and work with them on a quarterly basis<\/li>\n
  3. The most popular frequency for\u00a0online courses<\/strong> is a quarterly for those in their 30s and 40s, whilst it drops to half-yearly\/yearly for those in their 50s and to less often than yearly for those in their 60s.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The frequency of learning from these activities has been added to the graphic on the 4 D’s of Learning.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    What is now very clear to see is that the activities that fall into the DISCOVERY, DOING and DISCOURSE categories take place much more frequently (ie\u00a0daily or weekly)<\/strong>\u00a0than DIDACTICAL activities – and yet that is where most L&D effort is placed.<\/p>\n

    So the next question we need to consider is which of these ways of learning offer the most value to people. That’s the question on the next page<\/p>\n
