Question

Reagan, the manager of a car dealership, finds it impossible to train his mechanics on the details of every potential repair problem because of the increasing complexity and variety of today's vehicles. Hence, he provides them with a training program that familiarizes them with the basics of engine, emission, and other types of repair. Additionally, in case of a particular problem, the training program allows the mechanics to seek expert advice through an online computer application. Which learning approach is being implemented by Reagan?

Answer 1

Answer:

He is implementing a cognitive approach.

Explanation:

According to this approach, learning involves more than carrying out a task. Instead, the learners need to reflect on the knowledge they acquire. This also involves an active role in the process: if the learner finds any difficulty, he must analyse the problem and find a solution based either in the concepts he already knows, or find new information.
