Learning Styles
+ Learning Styles
There are three different types of learning styles :
+Visual
o Understand and remember what they see
o Pictures, videos and diagrams help them to remember
o Often decorate notebooks and re-write notes that look too messy
+ Strategies for Visual Learners: Write things you want to remember down
Look at the person who is speaking to you
Most visual learners, learn best alone
When studying, take many notes and write down lots of details
When trying to learn material by writing out notes, cover your notes then re-write
Use colour to highlight main ideas
Before starting an assignment, set a goal and write it down.
Before reading a chapter, preview it first by scanning the pictures, headings and so on
Write your own flash cards
Where possible, use charts, maps, posters, films, videos, computer software – both to study from and to present your work
+Auditory
o Understand and remember what they hear by speaking
o Enjoy debates and discussions
o Excel at presentations and interviews
+ Strategies for Auditory Learners: Study with a friend so you can talk about the information
Recite out loud the information you want to remember several times
Oral Presentations
When reading, skim through and look at the pictures and titles and say out loud what you think the book is about
Make flashcards for various material you want to learn and use them repeatedly, reading them out loud
Set a goal for your assignments and verbalize them. Say your goals out loud each time you begin your work
Read out loud when possible. You need to hear the words as you read them
+Kinesthetic / Tactile
o Understand and remember by doing and moving
o Work well with models and materials
o Motivate others to try new experiences
o They exemplify the Nike motto “Just Do It”
+Strategies for Kinesthetic/Tactile Learners: To memorize, pace or walk around while reciting
to yourself
Fidget. Try jiggling your legs or feet; hand exercises
Might not study best at a desk. Try lying on your stomach or back or on a comfortable chair
Study with music in the background
While studying, take frequent breaks, but be sure to settle back down to work quickly
When trying to memorize information, try closing your eyes and writing the information in the air with your finger
Write your notes down – muscle memory
+Final Point
o You will probably have one learning style that is more dominant than the rest
o However, you can learn in the other ways and will improve your learning by incorporating all 3 learning styles
o It is important to improve your weaker learning style
o Use combinations of strategies that work for you
+Activity #1:The Wright Family
o Instructions:
- Stand in a circle
- Everyone is going to get a marker
- When you hear ‘RIGHT’ pass the marker to the RIGHT
- When you hear ‘LEFT’ pass the marker to the LEFT
+Activity #1: Debrief
o By a show of hands:- How many thought this activity was challenging?- How many thoughts this activity was easy?
o Which type of learning style was dominant in this activity?
o Which multiple intelligence was dominant in this activity?
+Activity #2: What’s Differento Just for fun, we will make this a competition:
two teams
o Half of the class is going to be Team A
o Half of the class is going to be Team B
o For about two minutes, each team is going to analyze each other, from head to toe. Try to remember as much as you can about your opponents.
o Then, each team will have about 5 minutes to change something about themselves
o The challenge is for each team to determine at least 5 differences about their opposing team
+Activity #2: Debrief
o By a show of hands:- How many thought this activity was challenging?- How many thought this activity was easy?
o Which type of learning style was dominant in this activity?
o Which multiple intelligence was dominant in this activity?
+Test Yourself Now!
o On our Class Wiki you will find a link to a Multiple Intelligence Test and a Learning Style Test
o Complete both tests
o Save your results (you will need this for your final summative at the end of the course)
o Once you are done, complete the personal reflection questions on our Class Wiki by answering the following questions (1 paragraph maximum):
- What is your learning style?- What are your top three multiple intelligences?- Did your results make sense to you? Do you think they were accurate? - How can this be helpful for choosing a career or career path?- What possible specific career direction did your results indicate?
