LEARN HOW TO LEARN THE GOAL OF TUTORING

What is learning? What is learning style? What is learning orientation? Can we teach learning? Learn how to lean

Learning Orientation A preference for the sequencing of material by which an individual learn well. A preference for planning and managing the learning flow.

Learning Styles and Learning Orientations

Personality and Learning Orientations Learning Styles Multiple Intelligences Conation Cognition Affection How we act How we think How we feel

Visual - Learn through seeing Visual - Learn through seeing Auditory Auditory - Learn through listening Kinesthetic Kinesthetic - Learn through doing, moving and touching Primary Learning Styles

Conation/Affective and Cognitive Domain ( intentions to learn, causal beliefs about learning, and learning enjoyment) Learning Domains

Learning Effort Domain –Learning Effort Domain (degree of planning, strategizing and using different cognitive efforts to learn) Adopted by Dr. Martinez (2000), Training Place (par. 3 and 4)

Transforming Learners prefer loosely structured, flexible mentoring environments that promote challenging goals, discovery, strategies, problem solving, and self- managed learning. Performing Learners prefer semi-structured environments that stimulate personal value and provide details, tasks, processes, and creative interaction (hands- on) not exploration and great effort. Adopted by Dr. Martinez (2000), Training Place (par. 3 and 4)

Conforming Learners prefer simple, safe, low-learner control, structured environments that help learners achieve comfortable, low-risk learning goals in a linear fashion. Resistant learners lack a fundamental belief that (1) achieving learning objectives set by others is of any value or worth the effort, (2) they can learn and enjoy achieving goals set by others, or (3) academic learning and achievement can help them achieve personal goals or initiate desired changes. A resistant learner's personal goals strongly conflict with learning goals set by others. Adopted by Dr. Martinez (2000), Training Place

Development of Tutor’s Competences Entry stage – the tutor may be able to identify student needs at basic level Adoption – the tutor moves from struggle to comfort with basic tutoring Adaptation – the tutor moves beyond basic skills and become productive (number of students is doubled) Appropriation stage – the tutor works fearlessly with different students and uses all resources masterfully (the quality of service is superior) Invention stage – the tutor is able to create entirely new learning environment with the help of technologies (role model, the socialization process)

General Methods to approach different learning styles and learning orientations Collaboration with all departments Cooperative Learning Learning with Technologies Authentic project-based learning
