What is breakthrough learning?
Breakthrough learning, as conceptualized by the 6Ds approach, is meticulously structured into six distinct disciplines to ensure not only the acquisition of knowledge but also its enduring retention and practical application within the framework of a holistic learning experience. Each of the 6Ds corresponds to a pivotal stage in the learning process, collectively forming a comprehensive methodology for maximizing the effectiveness of educational initiatives. This approach serves as the cornerstone for Ikigai UK's strategic planning and project development.
Why do the 6Ds matter?
By embracing the 6Ds, Ikigai UK aims to craft learning experiences that transcend mere dissemination of information, fostering a profound understanding and integration of knowledge. This methodology underscores the importance of defining clear learning objectives, designing engaging and tailored content, delivering information through diverse and effective channels, reinforcing learning through practical application, providing opportunities for real-world deployment, and meticulously documenting and evaluating the entire learning journey. Through the consistent application of the 6Ds approach, Ikigai UK endeavors to create impactful and transformative learning solutions that align with organizational goals and drive sustained success.
