Learning Health Check Survey
MaST and Peter Honey’s Learning Health Check
Are you one of many people who have neglected learning skills?
Understanding how you learn, irrespective of what you are learning, makes an enormous difference to your effectiveness. The more you invest in improving your learning processes, the more likely it is that you will learn to achieve better results more easily.
Your learning skills directly affect your ability to learn. There are certain skills you can develop that will enormously enhance your effectiveness as a learner.
Learning skills break down into five factors:
- Making and taking learning opportunities.
- Using behaviours which, directly and indirectly, help increase the amount you learn.
- Investing effort in crystallising what you have learned.
- Adding value to your learning by transferring learning from one situation to other situations.
- Seeking to improve the way you learn, your learning processes.
By improving any or all of these factors you will enhance your learning skills.
MaST and Dr Peter Honey have developed a Learning Health Check especially for HRD 2008. This is a short questionnaire designed to help you do a quick "health check" on your learning skills.
Come and see us on Stand 930 to complete the survey and shortly after HRD, we will present your personal profile with results for each of the five factors described above and suggestions to help you improve or enhance your learning skills.

About Peter Honey Publications Ltd
Our Mission
At Peter Honey Publications Ltd, our mission is to help organisations to be successful through learning. Learning is the only competence that never becomes obsolete. Continuous learning is, quite simply, the key to sustained innovation and competitiveness.
Our philosophy can be summed up by a simple formula: P = L + B where P is for performance, L is for learning and B is for behaviour. In other words, everyone's performance flows from their past and current learning and from what they say and do – their behaviour. We seek, therefore, to help with the aspects of performance that are simple, but not easy!
Our History
Peter Honey Publications Ltd was founded by Dr Peter Honey - who is regarded as one of the world's leading gurus on learning and behaviour (although he believes that a learning guru is a contradiction in terms - as it suggests knowing everything there is to know about learning) and their application to making people more effective in the work place. He is a prolific author, consultant and speaker.
Peter Honey Publications Ltd publishes a range of resources for learning and development. Our products are used globally and our main markets are the UK, US, Australia and Europe. We produce three different types of resources:
- Online questionnaires providing a range of benefits for learners and organisations
- Booklets for learners
- Manuals for trainers
We are best known for the Honey and Mumford Learning Styles Questionnaire that was first published in 1982. Since then Peter Honey Publications Ltd has produced a stream of high quality resources promoting learning for individuals, teams and organisations.
