 Readiness to Learn
 Physical Readiness
 Emotional Readiness
 Experiential Readiness
 Knowledge Readiness
 Learning Styles
 Determining Learning Styles
 Learning Style Models and Instruments
 Right-Brain/Left-Brain and Whole-Brain Thinking
 Field-Independent/Field-Dependent Perception
 Dunn and Dunn Learning Styles
 Kolb’s Experiential Learning Model
 4MAT System
 Gardner’s Eight Types of Intelligence
 Interpretation of the Use of Learning Style Models and
Instruments
 Definition:The time when the learner
demonstrates an interest in learning the
information necessary to maintain optimal
health or to become more skillful in a job
1. Educators need to understand their own
learning style.

2. Educators need to guard again relying on

teaching methods and tools that match
their own learning style.

3. Educators are most helpful when they assist

learners in identifying and learning
according to the learner’s own style
preferences.
4. Learners should have the opportunity to
learn through their preferred style.

5. The more frequently learners are exposed

to different methods of learning, the less
stressful those methods are in the future.

6. Educators can develop specific learning

activities that reinforce each modality or
style.

 McCarthy’s four types of learners
– Imaginative
– Analytical
– Common sense
– Dynamic
 Linguistic
 Spatial
 Kinesthetic
 Logical-mathematical
 Musical
 Interpersonal
 Intrapersonal
 Naturalistic
 Become familiar with different models and use
various styles.

 Identify key elements of an individual’s learning

style.

 Allow learners the opportunity to say when a

model is not working for them.

 Encourage learners to be more aware of their

learning styles.

 Expose all learners to various learning styles.

 Online/ Face to face

 One patient/ Massive number

 Community based education

 Synchronous/ Asynchronous
 Personal experience: the students name
,,,,,,,,,,, but nothing else.

 Youmight know it as the feeling that your

brain is over stimulated and completely full
and your thoughts are more or less melting
under the pressure. It not only happens to
teachers, but it can affect students’/
patients and all learners.
 While cognitive load can happen in face to face
environment, patients are at greater risk in an online
learning environment because of added load on
managing new technologies and dealing with
distraction

 If comes down to the brain’s finite working memory

reasons

 Humans have a certain working memory capacity, and

it’s placed under strain when we take on new
information or are trying to learn something complex.
That call cognitive load or amount of mental exertion
needed to complete a task. Too much mental
exertion lead to situation called cognitive overload
