Another factor that makes your students

differ from one another is LEARNING

STYLE.

INTRODUCTIONWhy Learning Styles? Understand the basis

of learning styles

Your learning styles have more influence

than you may realize. Your preferred styles

guide the way you learn. They also change

the way you internally represent

experiences, the way you recall information,

and even the words you choose. We explore

more of these features in this chapter.

What Learning Style means?

Learning Style is the way a person processes,

internalizes, and studies new and challenging material.

Dunn and Dunn: School-

Based Learning Styles

One of the oldest and most widely used

approaches to learning styles is that

proposed by Rita and Kenneth Dunn (1978,

1992a, 1992b, and Dunn, 1986). Through

their work in schools, they observed distinct

differences in the ways students responded

to instructional materials. Some liked to learn

alone, while others preferred learning in

groups or from a teacher.

Dunn and Dunn presents different learning

styles according to five (5) groups of stimuli.

(Dunn, 2000)

Out of this preliminary work, they

identified five key dimensions on which

student learning styles differed:

1) environmental,

2) emotional support,

3) sociological composition,

4) physiological, and

5) psychological elements.

The environmental strand refers to

these elements:

lighting

sound

temperature, and

seating arrangement.

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT

This strands includes the

following elements:

motivation

persistence

responsibility, and

structure.

MOTIVATION

PERSISTENCE

RESPONSIBILITY

STRUCTURE

SOCIOLOGICAL COMPOSITION

The sociological strands represents to

elements related to how individuals learn

in association with other people:

alone or with peers,

an authoritative adult or with a collegial

colleague,

learning in a variety of ways or in routine

patterns.

ALONE

Learning in a variety of

ways or in routine patterns.

PSYSIOLOGICAL ELEMENTS

The elements in this strand are:

perceptual,

Time-of-day energy levels,

intake, and

mobility.

PERCEPTUAL

Time-of-day energy

levels

INTAKE

MOBILITY

PSYCHOLOGICAL

The elements in this strand correspond to

the following types of psychological

processing:

hemispheric elements

impulsive or reflective style

and global learners and

Analytic learners.

The hemispheric elements refers to left and right brain

processing models;

the impulsive versus reflective styledescribes how some

people leap before thinking and others scrutinize the

situation before moving an inch.

Global learnersprefer to work in an environment with soft

lighting and informal seating. People with the processing

style need breaks, snacking, mobility and sound.

Analytic learnersprefer to work in an environment with

bright light and formal seating. They work best with few

or no interruptions, in a quiet environment, and little or

no snacking.

Global learners vs. Analytic

EXERCISES:

1. The scholastic formulated this principle:

“Nihilestintellectu quod non priusfuerit in sensu” :

There is nothing in the mind which was not first in

some manner in the senses” What does this mean?

2. Do imperfections in the functioning of the sense

organs affect learning? Explain your answer.

3. How do feelings and emotions affect the

learner’s learning?

4. Does this student have all of these multiple

intelligences? Explain your answer

5. Do you believe that every child is a potential

genius?

TAKING IT TO THE NET…

1. Read recent researches on the memory and

imagination. Write at least one recent finding

about the power of memory and imagination.

2. Research on the following learning styles

given by Harvey F. Silver:

a. Mastery

b. Interpersonal

c. Understanding

d. Self-expressions
