 LEARNING STYLES
The Seven Learning Styles

• Visual (spatial):You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.

• Aural (auditory-musical): You prefer using sound and music.
• Verbal (linguistic): You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
• Physical (kinesthetic): You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
• Logical (mathematical): You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
• Social (interpersonal): You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
• Solitary (intrapersonal): You prefer to work alone and use self-study.
 Why 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.
• Research shows us that each learning style uses different parts of the
brain. By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember
more of what we learn. Researchers using brain-imaging technologies
have been able to find out the key areas of the brain responsible for each
learning style.
 IDEOLOGY
• An ideology is a set of opinions or beliefs of a group or an individual.
Very often ideology refers to a set of political beliefs or a set of ideas that
characterize a particular culture.

• Capitalism, communism, socialism, and Marxism are ideologies. But not

all -ism words are. Think: cronyism (a system of graft whereby friends
unfairly help each other make money.) Our English noun is from French
idéologie. The suffix –logy, used with many English words describing
theories or doctrines, is from Greek logos "word, reason, speech,
account."
 INDUSTRY
• An industry is a group of manufacturers or businesses that
produce a particular kind of goods or services. Workers in the
textile industry design, fabricate, and sell cloth. ... Industry
comes from the Latin industria, which means "diligence, hard
work," and the word is still used with that meaning
 How can industry be classified?

• There are four types of industry. These are primary, secondary, tertiary
and quaternary.
• Primary industry involves getting raw materials e.g. mining, farming and
fishing.
• Secondary industry involves manufacturing e.g. making cars and steel.
• Tertiary industries provide a service e.g. teaching and nursing.
• Quaternary industry involves research and development industries e.g.
IT.
 Industrial Systems

• Factories have inputs, processes and outputs. Inputs can be the

raw materials need to make something. Inputs can also be
labour, buildings, capital and machinery. Processes are the
things which go on within the factory. This is usually the
manufacturing of goods. It can also be design and research -
anything needed to make something. Outputs are the things
which leave the factory. This can include the finished product,
profit or even waste.
