Study Notes
Diverse Learning Styles
-
Learning style is how one learns best. It's influenced by psychological factors, sensory preferences, physical needs, environment, social groupings, and attitudes.
-
Psychological factors include left/right brain dominance, reflectivity, impulsivity, analytical thinking, and global thinking.
-
Sensory preferences include auditory, visual, tactile, and kinesthetic.
-
Physical needs include mobility, time of day preference, and eating habits.
-
Environment affects learning by influencing preferences for light/dark, cool/warm, sound/quiet, and formal/informal settings.
-
Social groupings affect learning by influencing preferences for learning alone or in groups, and with or without authority figures present.
-
Attitudes affect learning by influencing internal/external motivation, persistence level, preference for structure or self-direction, and routine or variety.
Sensory Preference Considerations
- Tactile learners need to touch and manipulate items related to the lesson.
- Kinesthetic learners need to move and engage their bodies during learning and practice activities. They internalize information as they move in conjunction with learning.
- Visual learners need to see things to truly grasp them.
- Auditory learners like to hear information. This aligns with traditional classroom methods.
Benefits of Knowing and Appealing to Diverse Learning Styles
- Increased comfort level for students
- Increased achievement
- Increased self-esteem
- Less behavior problems
Classroom Considerations for Diverse Learners
-
Teachers should understand and incorporate diverse learning styles to meet the needs of all students. They should use various teaching methods, classroom arrangements, and activities to cater to different preferences.
-
The classroom should be designed to accommodate the needs of different learning styles, such as providing a variety of learning materials, seating arrangements, and activities.
-
Additional considerations include student behavior, learning pace, and preferred learning environment.
