Title: Learning Styles The Learning Styles Inventory


1
Learning StylesThe Learning Styles Inventory
  • There are three basic learning styles
  • Visual
  • Auditory
  • Tactile

2
Kinds of visual learners
  • The first are VISUAL LANGUAGE learners
  • These people like to see words in books, on
    computer screens, on the board and in charts.
  • Often they learn better from books than they do
    in class.
  • Having information on paper is much more
    important than hearing it.

3
Kinds of visual learners
  • The second kind are VISUAL NUMERICAL- they like
    to see numbers on the board, in a book, software
    videos.
  • They want to see visible numbers, rather than
    hear them.
  • They like things printed on paper rather than
    oral explanations.

4
Kinds of auditory learners
  • The first kind are AUDITORY LANGUAGE learners
  • These students learn best from the spoken word.
  • You may hear these students vocalize words as
    they read, especially when dealing with something
    new.
  • They like to study with music and by talking to
    others about their subjects.

5
Kinds of auditory learners
  • Second, AUDITORY NUMERICAL learners want to hear
    oral explanations of math problems.
  • They remember numbers easily and can usually work
    problems in their heads, often without needing
    paper and pencil.
  • You may hear them reading numbers and problems to
    themselves.

6
Tactile learners
  • TACTILE CONCRETE learners seem to get knowledge
    best from direct physical experience.
  • They need to touch and manipulate what they are
    studying as well as see and hear it.
  • They often learn best when their hands are
    involved.
  • Their key word is hands on!

7
Social Learning Styles
  • INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS get more work done alone.
  • They think best and remember more when they learn
    by themselves.
  • They keep their own counsel they do not let
    others opinions influence them.
  • They usually socialize very little in class

8
Social Learning Styles
  • GROUP LEARNERS value studying with others and
    dont get as much done alone.
  • They want to hear other peoples opinions and
    ideas.
  • Group interaction increases their learning and
    knowledge.
  • Socializing is very important to group learners.

9
Expressing Information
  • Learners who are ORAL EXPRESSIVE like to tell
    what they know out loud.
  • They talk fluently comfortably and are not shy
    about speaking in front of a group.
  • Organizing their thoughts to write on paper may
    be a slow, boring process for these oral students.

10
Expressing Information
  • Students who are WRITTEN EXPRESSIVE generally
    write fluent essays and do well on written tests.
  • Their thoughts are better organized on paper and
    they may feel insecure having to give oral
    answers.
  • The written word is much important to them than
    the spoken one.

11
Remember! Important!
  • No one learning style is better than any other.
  • It is quite possible that you have a combination
    of learning styles and they may be equally
    necessary to you.
  • Finding out what works best for you is what is
    important!
  • KNOW THYSELF! and be the most effective learner
    you can be
