This document discusses different learning styles including visual, auditory, kinesthetic, Dunn & Dunn, Kolb, and Entwistle. It defines learning styles as characteristic behaviors that indicate how learners perceive and respond to their learning environment. The Dunn & Dunn model identifies environmental, emotional, sociological, and physiological factors that influence learning. Kolb's model includes diverging, assimilating, converging, and accommodating styles. Entwistle identified deep and surface approaches to learning, with deep learners relating ideas to prior knowledge and surface learners treating topics as unrelated facts. The document concludes that understanding different learning styles is important for both students and teachers.

- 9. VISUAL LEARNERS • learn through seeing • need to see the teacher's body language and facial expression to understand. • prefer sitting at the front • Prefer to see information such as pictures, diagrams, cartoons & demonstrations. • Learn through seeing and reading • often take detailed notes.
- 10. Techniques for Visual Learners •Graphic organizers •Charts •Graphs •Illustrations •Maps •Draw a picture of the learning •Video
- 11. AUDITORY LEARNERS • learn through listening... • Enjoys oral discussion • Has trouble with written direction / requires oral explanations • Remember what they hear better than what they see • Often like to talk on the phone or listen to music • Learn best if they can hear and see the assignment
- 12. Techniques for Auditory Learners •Tape record important information •Songs •Read aloud •Retell •Listening centers
- 13. TACTILE / KINESTHETIC LEARNERS • learn through , moving, doing and touching • learn best through a hands-on activities and exploring the physical world around them. • They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration.
- 14. Techniques for Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners •Move during the lesson •Act it out with body •Touch it •Feel it •Recite while moving – jump rope, bounce ball

- 17. Environmental Stimulus silence, or background noise or music? soft, dim, or bright light while studying? from a cool room to a warm room? CLASS DESIGN at a traditional setting? Or a more informal arrangement?
- 18. Emotional Stimulus MOTIVATION: self-motivated? contact with peers? PERSISTENCE: one task at a time? multitasking? RESPONSIBILITY: independently? frequent feedback/guidance? STRUCTURE: being told what to do? working on your own?
- 19. Sociological stimulus SELF: work alone? : working with one other person? working as a team member? ADULT: with an adult and/or teacher? VARIETY Versus Concentrating in ROUTINES or Patterns?
- 20. Physiological stimulus PERCEPTUAL: visual, auditory, kinesthetic? INTAKE: drink? Chew gums? munching on snacks? TIME: early morning, late morning, early/late afternoon, or evening? MOBILITY: for a long period of time or move constantly?
- 21. Psychological stimulus Global-analytic: Holistic learning? Analytic style of learning? Hemisphericity: Left-brain individuals? Right-brain dominance ? Impulsive-Reflective: Quick thinker? Various alternatives?
- 22. KOLB LEARNING STYLE •David Kolb published his learning styles model in 1984 from which he developed his learning style inventory •Kolb's experiential learning theory works on two levels: a four stage cycle of learning and four separate learning styles.
- 23. KOLB LEARNING STYLES (David A. Kolb1984) DIVERGER ASSIMILATOR CONVERGER ACCOMMODATOR
- 24. • Convergers are characterized by abstract conceptualization and active experimentation. They are good at making practical applications of ideas and using deductive reasoning to solve problems. • Divergers tend toward concrete experience and reflective observation. They are imaginative and are good at coming up with ideas and seeing things from different perspectives.
- 25. • Assimilators are characterized by abstract conceptualization and reflective observation. They are capable of creating theoretical models by means of inductive reasoning. • Accommodators use concrete experience and active experimentation. They are good at actively engaging with the world and actually doing things instead of merely reading about and studying them.
- 26. NOEL ENTWISTLE • Noel Entwistle is a UK educational psychologist . • He is particularly known for identifying the characteristics associated with deep and surface approaches to learning. • Entwistle was formerly editor of the British Journal of Education Psychology. • He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society. • He has published several books including Styles of Learning and Teaching (1981), Understanding Student Learning (1983), Understanding Classroom Learning (1987), and The Experience of Learning (1989).
- 27. Entwistle (2001) has defined the distinction between deep learning and surface learning: deep learning: surface Learning: Learners relate ideas to previous knowledge and experience. Learners treat the course as unrelated bits of knowledge. Learners look for patterns and underlying principles. Learners memorize facts and carry out procedures routinely. Learners check evidence and relate it to conclusions. Learners find difficulty in making sense of new ideas presented. Learners examine logic and argument cautiously and critically. Learners see little value or meaning in either courses or tasks. Learners are aware of the understanding that develops while learning. Learners study without reflecting on either purpose or strategy. Learners become actively interested in the course content. Learners feel under pressure and worry about work.
