A strategist learns by thinking up solution strategies for concrete examples. Through practical experimentation, he forms basic knowledge or skills, which he consolidates through repetition and ordering systems as well as categorization. Pictures and films (visualization of problems and strategies) as well as self-written (paper) documentations and tangible models (haptics) are helpful.

Each basic need has a particular way of learning.

The assertiveness need would say about itself: I really enjoy adventures. That also applies to learning. I have to actively deal with things and give my imagination free rein. In project work, I have the opportunity to generate new visions and ideas. Trying things out should at least happen in my mind’s eye as fantasy work. I write a script, so to speak, for a story in which knowledge plays a role. But, if it is possible, it is better to create, paint or film something myself.

The need for security means: When learning, I need peace and quiet. I want to be able to concentrate and work at my own pace. I can also manage with e-learning, but I take notes along the way because that consolidates the knowledge. It’s also good that you can repeat chapters in our program. Compared to others, I need more time to learn. I want to work intensively on it. Writing everything down neatly, drawing pictures to go with it, making models and making sure everything is in good order doesn’t happen so quickly. But in the end, I have something that I can certainly refer back to again and again.
