styles of learning on which training models may be built. The first is the transmission model, this is based on the traditional approach where the learner is treated as knowing
nothing and is then told the information (Hart, 2009; Biggs, 1999). The learning process is seen as a building process, with more learning base on the pervious learning that has
been communicated to the learner (Biggs, 1999). Mistakes are seen as errors that require correction (Jonassen, 1998). The constructionist model sees the learner as developing new models which have existing
models as their foundation, these models are then refined with hypothesis testing (Biggs, 1999).Teaching is seen as facilitating learning by exploration with the failures seen as opportunities for greater learning
(Hart, 2009; Biggs, 1999). The last model is the social construction model. Here there is a model that looks to use what the student already knows and then use
that to create new knowledge (Jonassen, 1998). This is the opposite of the transmission as it is the most interactive and instead of seeing the student as an empty pot
that needs to be filled, it sees the student as a full pot that needs to have the information drawn out of it though learning. The different models can
be seen as based on learning styles, how information is communicated and also how the background it set ready for learning opportunities to be provided. This has been established for
some time that individuals will learn in different styles. Steven Corey approached this subject from a teaching angle rather than a business approach. However the application into different learning styles
is equally applicable. Looking at the learning process he was aiming at determining the way in which individuals would learn so that teaching methods could be taught or trained more
