15. npih12341.12.11.22.23.13.24.14.2 TA TAvisions education support why are learning styles important? People who are actively engaged in the learning process will more likely achieve success. A key to getting and keeping learners involved in the learning process is to understand learning style preferences.

16. npih12341.12.11.22.23.13.24.14.2 TA TAvisions education support models for learning styles Felder–Silverman Learning Model Herrmann Brain-Dominance Model Kolbs Learning-Style Inventory Honey & Mumfords model Barbe-Swassing model Gregorc model of mind styles Myers Briggs Personality Types

17. npih12341.12.11.22.23.13.24.14.2 TA TAvisions education support Felder–Silverman Learning Model sensing or intuitive learners visual or verbal learners inductive or deductive learners active or reflective learners sequential or global learners

18. npih12341.12.11.22.23.13.24.14.2 TA TAvisions education support Herrmann Brain-Dominance Model classifies learners in terms of their relative preferences for thinking in four different modes left-brain cerebral (logical thinkers) left-brain limbic (sequential thinkers) right-brain limbic (emotional thinkers) right-brain cerebral (holistic thinkers).

19. npih12341.12.11.22.23.13.24.14.2 TA TAvisions education support Kolbs Learning-Style Inventory This classifies learners as having a preference for concrete experience or abstract conceptualization active experimentation or reflective observation.

20. npih12341.12.11.22.23.13.24.14.2 TA TAvisions education support Honey & Mumfords Classification Developed from Kolbs model; learners are activists reflectors pragmatists theorists
