They are comfortable with lectures, PowerPoint slides, and textbook reading.  Doing Learners (ask the how question) take action. They like hands on instruction. 4

 Feeling learners (ask the why question) like to make personal connections. They enjoy group work and role play.  Innovating learners (ask the what if question) try to find new possibilities. These learners do well with independent studies. 5

Struggling students: See themselves as victims: do not accept responsibility May lack direction: no intrinsic motivation Do not identify specific actions that can lead to desired results Do not seek assistance or utilize services Downing (2008) 8
