Presented By:
Within a learning situation, a learning style can be defined as the application of an individual’s
typical mode of problem-solving, thinking, perceiving and remembering.
The model focuses on students’ interactions amongst their peers, the instructors, and
learning in general. It measures the cognitive and affective behaviors of students instead of
perceptual.
The learning styles scale itself consists of six primary learning styles, a variety of which are
present in each learner, though to varying degrees.
The six learning styles are Avoidant, Collaborative, Competitive, Dependent, Independent, and
Participant.
Competitive: Students who learn the material in order to perform better than others in the class.
They feel they must compete with other students for the rewards that are offered.
Collaborative: These are students who feel they can learn by sharing ideas and talents. They
cooperate with teachers and peers and like to work with others.
Avoidant: Not enthusiastic about learning content and attending class. Do not participate with
students and teachers in the classroom. They are uninterested and overwhelmed by what goes on
in class.
Participant: They enjoy going to class and take responsibility for getting the most out of a course.
Want to take part in as much of the course activity as possible.
Dependent: Characteristic of students who show little intellectual curiosity and who learn only
what is required.
Independent: Students who like to think for themselves. They prefer to work on their own but will
listen to the ideas of others in the classroom. Learn the content they feel is important and are
confident in their learning abilities.
