It is that feedback loop which Lewin believed could eliminate ineffectiveness in the organization. Learning is described as a process whereby concepts are derived from and continuously modified by experience. This method offers a traditional approach that is widely accepted and understood. Instruction-based learning implies a deductive approach to learning, where learners proceed from general rules to specific examples. The final method, behavior modeling , is a combination of the exploration and instruction methods which concentrates on the idea of observing and doing while following a role model.
Trainees then imitate the role model's behavior in practice.
The technique emphasizes learning points in the instruction mode and modeling, practice, and feedback in the exploration or hands-on mode. The learning environment is viewed as so important that this method places extreme emphasis on creating environmental conditions believed to maximize the learning potential. In training, behavior modeling provides a set of learning points for each transaction that is used to guide the individual to a specific objective, while attempting to maintain self-esteem. Behavior modeling teaches flexibility, not rigidity. The learning points in a behavior modeling process are simply guidelines to teach alternative responses so that an individual can be more flexible.
