1. Describe the difference between the Johari Window model and the Laboratory Learning model.
Using your definition of Learning Model, the two models are similar in that they both use a group as a laboratory. However, whereas the Learning Model is experimenting, learning, and discovering cause-and-effect relations in interpersonal communication, the Johari Window is theory driven. It seems to go beyond a simply learning model.
The Johari Model is theory driven meaning it already has preset assumptions about what causes the problems. This contrasts with the learning model, which is about discovering cause-and-effect relationships. The Johari Model, however, already presumes to know the cause, but sets out to analyze the job situation for these specific patterns of interpersonal behavior in the groups; ones that might either impede or promote learning and better job performance. It seems to be a good tool for analyzing the present work environment to determine the nature of potential interpersonal problems and potential solutions to the problems. It seems like a promising and useful model (see attachment on Johari Windows for more detail). However, it is a subjective measure as the employees need to rate themselves and it is useful to the extent that the model is first taught to them and then applied. This contrasts with the learning model, which is objective and experimental. We discuss this further in the recommendations below.
