In the process of preparing for a worksop on Competency mapping,i came across the types of learning that underlie a competency.
It was interesting to note that there are 3 types of learning that underlie the formation of a competency:
1.Conceptual learning.
2.Behavioral learning.
3.Affective learning.
Out of these,Affective learning triggers a new thought process regarding the competency building process.Affectve learning refers tothe emotions of the learner regarding the learning object.The applications of this learning are multi-fold.The instruction design for training programs must also include elements(cases,stories)that create the requisite emotions among the learners regarding the learning object.
Affective learning remains an unexplored and unutilized aspect in the process of competency development.When we analyze personnel who are experts in the process of execution of vital competencies,it becomes obvious that affective learning is an integal part of their competency development and execution.
