is the habitual manner in which the learners receive and perceive the information, process it, understand it, value it, store it, and recall it.

Slide 003

LEARNING STYLE MODELS

Holistic (or Global) Thinkers

wants to get the whole picture quickly or get the gist of things. they want to see broad categories before they look at the details. They process information simultaneously rather than in a step-by-step manner, and they need to see how new information connects to what they already know and value. they retain an overall or global view of information.

Analytic Thinkers
process the details of a picture, outlining the component parts in a logical progression. they perceive information in an objective manner and do not need to connect it to their personal values or experiences.

Visual Approach
those with this approach experience information they read, see, or hear in terms of mental pictures or images.

Verbal Approach
people who have this approach to learning represent, in their brains, information they read, see, or hear in terms of words or verbal associations.

Experiential Learning

4 abilities to be effective
Concrete Experience (CE) abilities: Learning from actual experience Reflective Observation (RO) abilities: Learning by observing others Abstract Conceptualization (AC) abilities: Creating theories to explain what is seen Active Experimentation (AE) abilities: Using theories to solve problems

4 possible learning styles

1. Converger- A person who learns by AC and AE. This person is good at decision making and problem solving and likes dealing with technical work rather than interpersonal relationships 2. Diverger- A person who stresses CE and RO. This person excels in imagination and awareness of meaning. He or she is feeling oriented and people oriented and likes working in groups.

3. Accommodator- A person who relies heavily on CE and AE. He or she likes to actively accomplish things, often use trial-and-error methods to solve problems. This person may be impatient with other people. He or she acts on intuition and is a risk taker. 4. Assimilator- A person who emphasizes AC and RO. The strengths of this person are inductive reasoning, creating theoretical models, and integrating ideas. He or she prefers playing with ideas to actively applying them. This person is more concerned with ideas than with people.
