What is Action Based Learning & Why is this important?

What is Action Based Learning & Why is this important? Dear HR, Training and L&D Champions, What is Action Based Learning & Why is this important? Action-based learning means learners take what they learn and put it into practice. This is one of the most effective methods of retaining knowledge and skills as it leads to a more in-depth understanding of material, higher retention rates, and better recall.  Let us learn about why Action Based Learning is so important now: 1. According to the Learning Pyramid, developed by the National Training Laboratory, most learners only remember about 10% of what they read from textbooks, but retain 75% of what they learn by doing.  2. When designing corporate training programs, try to stay away from passive forms of learning such as reading and lectures. Encouraging employees to teach one another, practice by doing, and participate in discussion groups will help maximize knowledge retention rates and training ROI.  3. The more we activate learners’ brains in different ways, the more they learn. This means that engaging as many sensory, cognitive, emotional and social processes as possible in learners will increase their learning potential. The best way to do that is by incorporating activities into the learning process.  Until our next learning article, Happy Learning.
