14. Learning Styles

15. Learning Styles
There are three different types of learning styles :

16. Visual Understand and remember what they see
Pictures, videos and diagrams help them to remember
Often decorate notebooks and re-write notes that look too messy

17. Strategies for Visual Learners:
Write things you want to remember down
Look at the person who is speaking to you
Most visual learners, learn best alone
When studying, take many notes and write down lots of details
When trying to learn material by writing out notes, cover your notes then re-write
Use colour to highlight main ideas
Before starting an assignment, set a goal and write it down.
Before reading a chapter, preview it first by scanning the pictures, headings and so on
Write your own flash cards
Where possible, use charts, maps, posters, films, videos, computer software – both to study from and to present your work

18. Auditory Understand and remember what they hear by speaking
Enjoy debates and discussions
Excel at presentations and interviews

19. Strategies for Auditory Learners:
Study with a friend so you can talk about the information
Recite out loud the information you want to remember several times
Oral Presentations
When reading, skim through and look at the pictures and titles and say out loud what you think the book is about
Make flashcards for various material you want to learn and use them repeatedly, reading them out loud
Set a goal for your assignments and verbalize them. Say your goals out loud each time you begin your work
Read out loud when possible. You need to hear the words as you read them

20. Kinesthetic / Tactile Understand and remember by doing and moving
Work well with models and materials
Motivate others to try new experiences
They exemplify the Nike motto “Just Do It”

21. Strategies for Kinesthetic/Tactile Learners:
To memorize, pace or walk around while reciting to yourself
Fidget. Try jiggling your legs or feet; hand exercises
Might not study best at a desk. Try lying on your stomach or back or on a comfortable chair
Study with music in the background
While studying, take frequent breaks, but be sure to settle back down to work quickly
When trying to memorize information, try closing your eyes and writing the information in the air with your finger
Write your notes down – muscle memory

22. Final Point
You will probably have one learning style that is more dominant than the rest
However, you can learn in the other ways and will improve your learning by incorporating all 3 learning styles
It is important to improve your weaker learning style
Use combinations of strategies that work for you

23. Activity #1: The Wright Family
Instructions: Stand in a circle Everyone is going to get a marker When you hear ‘RIGHT’ pass the marker to the RIGHT - When you hear ‘LEFT’ pass the marker to the LEFT

24. Activity #1: Debrief
By a show of hands: - How many thought this activity was challenging? - How many thoughts this activity was easy?
Which type of learning style was dominant in this activity?
Which multiple intelligence was dominant in this activity?

25. Activity #2: What’s Different
Just for fun, we will make this a competition: two teams
Half of the class is going to be Team A
Half of the class is going to be Team B
For about two minutes, each team is going to analyze each other, from head to toe. Try to remember as much as you can about your opponents.
Then, each team will have about 5 minutes to change something about themselves
The challenge is for each team to determine at least 5 differences about their opposing team

26. Activity #2: Debrief
By a show of hands: - How many thought this activity was challenging? - How many thought this activity was easy?
Which type of learning style was dominant in this activity?
Which multiple intelligence was dominant in this activity?
