CON’T

• There are 5 perceptual strengths: Auditory, visual, tactual, kinesthetic, and verbal learners

THE WAY WE LEARN

Page 8: Learning Styles

Perceptual Strength #1: Auditory Learner

• A person who learns best by hearing or listening to new material.

• Examples: Learning from sound, frequently, moves their lips or speak under their breath while reading.

• Strategies: Lecture & Discussion, Brain stroming

Page 9: Learning Styles

Perceptual Strength #2:Visual Learner

• A person who learns best by seeing the material they are learning.

• Examples & traits: Remembers faces but forgets names, have greater recall of words presented visually.

• Strategies: learning from films, reading, materials, maps, charts, graphs, etc.

Page 10: Learning Styles

Perceptual Strength #3:Tactile Learner

• A person who learns best by using his/her sense of touch; texture of things.

• Examples & traits: Gestures when speaking, a poor listener

• Strategies: learning by taking notes, underlining while reading, making flash cards, drawing maps, pictures, charts, etc

Page 11: Learning Styles

Perceptual Strength #4:Kinesthetic Learner

• A person who learns best by being completely involved in the material or activity they are trying to learn.

• Examples & traits: Find it hard to pay attention to auditory and visual presentations.

• Strategies: learning by taking field trips, actively participating in the activity (i.e. PE), laboratory experiments, etc.

Page 12: Learning Styles

Perceptual Strength #5:Verbal Learner

• A person who learns best by talking about the material they are learning.

• Examples and traits: Learn by reading aloud or by explaining something to someone else.

• Strategies: making up rhymes in their heads to learn new things, learning by explaining something to someone else (i.e training someone on the job, tutoring, etc.), learning by reading aloud, etc.

21 Elements of Learning• There are 5

learning style factors that each contain elements:

1. Environmental Factors (4)

2. Emotional Factors (4)3. Sociological Factors

(6)4. Physical Factors (4)5. Psychological Factors

(3)

Page 14: Learning Styles

Environmental Factors(Of, relating to, or associated with the environment.)

• What type of surroundings allow you to learn best?

• Do you need light to study?

• Do you get tired if the lighting is not good enough?

• Can you concentrate in the cool or heat?

• Does noise bother you when you are studying or doing homework?

Page 18: Learning Styles

Environmental Factors(continued)

4. Design– There are 2 types of

design:1. Formal Design: you

like to study in a straight chair or at a desk.

2. Informal Design: you like to study on the floor, couch, or on a bed.

Page 19: Learning Styles

Emotional Factors(Readily affected with or stirred by emotion.)

• Motivation: How eager are you to learn? Your desire to learn.

• Persistence: A learner who works at a task until it is completed.

Page 21: Learning Styles

Sociological Factors(Interaction with other people)

• Do you learn more from a group than by yourself?

• Do you like to work in a small group or in a large group?

• The overall question is - Are you really learning?

Page 22: Learning Styles

Sociological Factors(continued)

1. Self: The total being of one person; the individual.

2. Pairs: Two corresponding persons.

3. Peers: A person who has equal standing with another or others, as in rank, class, or age; children are often easily influenced by their peers.

Page 23: Learning Styles

Sociological Factors(continued)

4. Team: A group on the same side, as in a game.

5. Adult: One who has attained maturity or legal age. A fully grown, mature person.

6. Varied: A mixed group consisting of people with different ages.

Page 24: Learning Styles

Physical Factors(Of or relating to material things; our physical environment.)

1. Perceptual: Use of our senses; perceptual strength.

2. Intake: Someone who likes to have something to eat or drink while studying is said to require intake.

Page 25: Learning Styles

Physical Factors(continued)

3. Time: What time of the day is best for you to study? When are you most alert - morning, afternoon, evening, etc.

4. Mobility: A person who likes to take breaks and walks around while studying.

Page 26: Learning Styles

Psychological Factors(Of, relating to, or arising from the mind or emotions)

1. Global/Analytic– Global: People who learn

more easily when they understand the concept being taught first and then concentrate on the details.

– Analytic: People who learn more easily when information is presented in sequence or step-by-step.

Page 27: Learning Styles

Psychological Factors(continued)

2. Hemisphericity: Refers to the dominance of the left and right sides of the brain.– In just about everything,

both sides of the brain are used. However, the way each person learns seems to be controlled by one hemisphere (or side) or the other.

– Right-brained people are global learners.

– Left-brained people are analytic learners.

Page 28: Learning Styles

Psychological Factors(continued)

3. Impulsive/Reflective– Impulsive: One who

often blurts out an answer without giving it much thought.

– Reflective: Someone who has to repeat a question in his/her mind several times and then think of an answer.
