What are Learning Orientations?
Learning Orientations identify distinct characteristics or aggregate learning patterns for four distinct learning groups, including Transforming, Performing, Conforming, and Resistant learners. They describe how we want and intend to learn, interpret, and understand the world around us. Each person’s unique way of developing their brain results in individual differences in learning. Learning orientations are based on the key psychological constructs that are influenced by such things as environment, experiences, genetics, and social interactions, and timing.
