The approach of constructivist learning assessment, learning process is critical where the cognitive features of the learner enhances understanding and concentration. Three critical measures can be undertaken by an organisation to enhance better and effective learning experience. The first measure is ensuring that the environment is free from distractors to enhance concentration. Secondly, the organisation should ensure that the learners are actively involved by using learning aids. The third process should be ensuring group learning (teamwork) experiences to share ideas and knowledge in the learning process.
From evaluation of the learning process, it is important to point out critically that constructivist approach facilitates a learning environment that is interactive, active and engaging.

The goal of mediation is to clear up misunderstandings, determine concerns, find areas of agreement, and incorporate those areas into solutions.

Mediation is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which a neutral third party helps disputants resolve a conflict (Bishop, p. 64). The employee/supervisor mediation was my first experience role-playing as a mediator in a dispute. I enjoyed the experience and recognized how significant the role of a mediator was. There are many strategies/avenues a mediator can take when conducting a mediation and it is imperative that the mediator is able to adapt their mediation strategy in order to satisfy the party’s needs. This in-class role-play gave me the opportunity to apply all the knowledge that I learned during the course, to a real workplace scenario.

Most Efficient forms of the learning process: - Acc. to Lewin, learning is best facilitated in an environment where there is dialectic tension and conflict between immediate, concrete experience and analytic detachment. By bringing together the immediate experiences of the trainees and the conceptual models of the staff in an open atmosphere where inputs from each perspective could challenge and stimulate the other, a learning environment occurred with remarkable vitality and creativity. (Kolb.)  Pillars of an efficient learning mechanism in group settings:- o Feedback:-There was a concern that organizations, groups and relationships generally suffered from a lack of accurate information about what was happening around their performance. Feedback became a key ingredient of T-groups and was found to ‘be most effective when it stemmed from here-and-now observations, when it followed the generating event as closely as possible, and when the recipient checked with other group members to establish its validity and reduce perceptual distortion’ (Yalom 1995: 489). o Unfreezing:-This was taken directly from Kurt Lewin’s change theory.
