Based on Cueva's (2010) learning strategies, this study investigated adult learning strategies successful high school female principals use to nurture adult learning opportunities at their schools in the state of Missouri. Public high schools were selected based on their 2019 Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP 5) performance standards and indicators. Their principals were asked to complete a survey online and self-select to be interviewed. The findings indicated that principals take their role as instructional leaders seriously and seek to use learning strategies for understanding, conversation, and action. The most frequently used adult learning strategy is Nurturing Place while the least used is Creative Expressions. The principals desire more time and resources to help their teachers learn.

Just as adult learning strategies can be categorized into three major learning strategy preference groups (Conti & Kolody, 1998), workplace learning events can also be similarly categorized into a spectrum containing three major clusters: (a) the Navigation Cluster, containing those tasks that require planning, organizing, and structuring of content; (b) the Problem-Solving Cluster, containing those tasks that require innovative creativity or critical thinking skills; and (c) the Engagement Cluster, containing those tasks that require inter- and intra-personal skills required when working in situations that involve others. The purpose of this chapter is to propose an emerging 4-step framework that can be used to guide individuals, educators, and workplace trainers through a process to assist learners in identifying their learning strategies preferences and in leveraging these individual metacognitive processes in order to achieve specific workplace learning objectives.

This writing aims to make students more active and disciplined in the learning process and can also increase creativity and learning outcomes. The low mathematics learning outcomes are not only due to difficult mathematics, but are caused by several factors which include students themselves, teachers, learning approaches, and learning environments that are interconnected with each other. To improve the ability and results of learning it is necessary to make modifications to the task learning strategy and force. Quantum learning is a tip, a guide, a strategy and an entire learning process that can sharpen understanding and memory, and make learning a pleasant and useful process. Task and Forced Learning Strategies are strategies that focus on giving assignments and a little coercion so that students complete their tasks on time so that the learning process can run effectively. Therefore, the writer modifies the model of quantum learning with task and forced learning strategies, the results of this modification show that learning with quantum learning models with forced and task strategies can improve the learning process so that students become more disciplined in doing tasks, can motivate student learning, and can improve student learning outcomes.

The accuracy in choosing a learning strategy is a very important part in efforts to improve the achievement of student learning outcomes. Therefore this study aims to determine the effect of learning strategies on mathematics learning outcomes. This study uses a 2x2 factorial design research. Through this design the effects of Interactive learning strategies and problem-based learning will be compared to student mathematics learning outcomes. The population in this study were all students of grade IV SDN 09 Kaba Wetan, totaling 76 students, consisting of 2 classes. To determine the sample class, a random sampling technique is used. The sample classes used were 2 classes totaling 76 students, class IV-A as an Interactive class and class IV-B as a problem-based class. The data analysis technique used is descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. And testing the analysis requirements is the normality test using the Lilifors Test, while the homogeneity requirements are using the F Test and Barlett Test. After testing the analysis requirements, the two-way variance analysis of Analilsis is performed. The results of this study indicate that there is an interaction effect between learning strategies on student mathematics learning outcomes. So that the selection of appropriate learning strategies is influenced by the ability of teachers to understand the characteristics of their students. In the learning strategy applied by the teacher can optimize student mathematics learning outcomes by choosing class strategies namely Interactive learning and problem based learning classes.

AbstractMultiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm faces the difficulty of prematurity and insufficient diversity due to the selection of inappropriate leaders and inefficient evolution strategies. Therefore, to circumvent the rapid loss of population diversity and premature convergence in MOPSO, this paper proposes a knowledge-guided multiobjective particle swarm optimization using fusion learning strategies (KGMOPSO), in which an improved leadership selection strategy based on knowledge utilization is presented to select the appropriate global leader for improving the convergence ability of the algorithm. Furthermore, the similarity between different individuals is dynamically measured to detect the diversity of the current population, and a diversity-enhanced learning strategy is proposed to prevent the rapid loss of population diversity. Additionally, a maximum and minimum crowding distance strategy is employed to obtain excellent nondominated solutions. The proposed KGMOPSO algorithm is evaluated by comparisons with the existing state-of-the-art multiobjective optimization algorithms on the ZDT and DTLZ test instances. Experimental results illustrate that KGMOPSO is superior to other multiobjective algorithms with regard to solution quality and diversity maintenance.
