Seven Types of Learning Styles
Seven Types of Learning Styles How many ways are
there to learn about a subject? According to the latest findings by several
leading psychologists, there are seven specific types of learning styles.
This means that in order to maximize learning advantages, you must define the
type of learner that you have, and cater the lesson to that particular
learning style. For example, if your child is primarily a linguistic learner,
you could incorporate several novels into your curriculum. You could
encourage short stories to explain scientific developments, or allow the
student to rewrite a difficult math problem into a story problem. If he/she
is primarily logical, you will want to emphasize charts, tables, and
diagrams. Venn diagrams work well with a logical learner. Read each description
below to determine which style best describes your student. Remember that it
is possible to have more than one style of learning, particularly in the
intrapersonal and interpersonal categories (numbers six and seven), which
have traditionally been interpreted as personality types.
This type of learner loves to read, write, and tell stories.
They tend to memorize places, dates, names, and trivia very easily, and are
always mesmerizing you with their incredible tales. They have a remarkable
ability to repeat back everything you have ever told them, word for word.
Encourage their creativity, and do your best to distinguish between the truth
and exaggeration (it is all well intended). These students learn best by
saying, hearing, and seeing words. Ask them to write down a word or a phrase,
and it is forever locked into their memory. Encourage them to participate in
spelling bees and creative writing courses. You could have another Shakespeare
on your hands.
This child is very mathematically inclined. They enjoy solving
problems, particularly if they are math related. They are similar to Dr.
Spock, on Star Trek, in that they are very logical, straight-forward types of
learners. They will plague you with questions on how things work, how things
relate to one another, and why things are here. Their favorite toys as young
children were likely building blocks, and pattern puzzles. Answer their
ongoing questions with as much patience as you can muster, and know that one
day they may likely become an engineer. This type of student learns best by
categorizing, classifying, and working with abstract patterns or
relationships. Ask them to make a chart or to show relationships between different
items. For example, "What kind of effect does the El Nino have on the
stock market?". They will not only come up with an answer, but they will
be able to explain the process and developmental stages of the relationship.
These are the visualizers. They spend most of the day dreaming,
watching movies, and staying as far away from reality as possible. If they
seem particularly "down", asking them to draw a picture will get
you much further into the nature of the problem, than asking them to tell you
about it. Allow them to develop their senses and their natural artistic
abilities. They are very good at working with colors and pictures, and using
the "mind's eye". Allow them to play a couple of educational
computer games, such as Civilization or the Oregon Trail, or to daydream
under a tree. They could be hard at work thinking about a particular problem,
but have yet to put it on paper. These types of learners are very artistic,
although they often have problems expressing it. Encourage any type of
creative endeavor. They may become the next developer of an international
theme park.
If your child is always walking around the house humming a tune,
or always needs music to study by, then he/she is likely a musical learner.
This type of learner is best at noticing details, pitches, and rhythms that
escape the normal listener. They are excellent at keeping tune, and are adept
at turning the abstract into concrete objects. They learn best through
rhythm, melody, and music. For memorization techniques, ask them to write a
song about the lesson (rap works well as a narrative), or teach them a song.
Encourage their natural love of music, and try to incorporate music into as
many lessons as possible.
This type of learner is always on the move. They constantly walk
around, they have to touch everything, and they use body language to convey
their feelings. They would rather play sports or do a craft than sit down and
read a book. They need active education! Keep them moving. Play word games in
the pool, have spelling lessons during tennis. Take them camping to learn
about geography and nature. These are the learners who can do more than one
thing at a time. Generally recognized as ADHD (Attention Deficit
Hyperactivity Disorder), many are misdiagnosed. Allow them to use all of that
extra energy to learn. Remember to incorporate sense development and
interaction with space during their lessons. Attempt to keep the duration of
each lesson down to a minimum (10-20 minutes depending on age), and change
subjects frequently. Interdisciplinary lessons are very successful with these
types of learners.
These are the "social butterflies". They adapt easily
to any type of social situation, have many friends and are excellent leaders.
They are patient, understanding, and very empathetic, which makes them a
favorite among their playmates. They generally make good leaders because of
their ability to mediate conflict, and are often referred to as "the
Peacemaker" of the family. Encourage their love of people, and allow
them to be with many different types of people. They will likely bring home a
number of different types of friends. Although this can be difficult at
times, it is important to support and accept all of them. This type of learner
will do best in a group situation as they compare, share, relate, and
interview other people. If no group is available, don't be surprised to see
them create one in their animals or toys!
These strong willed people work best alone. They pursue their
one interests and have a deep understanding of themselves. They pride
themselves on being independent and original, and they tend to stand out from
the crowd without even trying. They are the "strong, silent type".
They do best in self paced instruction, individualized projects, and working
alone. Allow them to be by themselves, but continue to encourage their
socialization skills. Create a number of situations for them to socialize,
yet allow them to maintain their own space. These children work best alone,
and often need to be encouraged to socialize. In conclusion, we all
have elements of each learning style. But the truth is that one or two types
stand out in each of us. Determine which style of learner your child is, and
figure out ways to incorporate that learning style into your teaching.
Continue to encourage the student to figure out alternative styles, and teach
them how to bring each type into their life. |

The teacher should not interpret the lesson as usual...
Children may have difficulty answering the exam questions. But actually questioning is more difficult than answering.
Often, questions are generated from the book or by looking at that lesson-based book.
The government introduced the ALM (Active Learning Methodology) system for grades six through eight. The teacher should not interpret the lesson as usual.
1. Students should read the relevant lesson from home.
2. Questions that come to mind should be written in a notebook.
3. Those questions will be discussed by the teacher in the classroom. The teacher will resolve the doubts.
4. Students draw a mental map of what they understand.
5. The teacher will evaluate what the students have learned.
This method is an excellent method for learning to take place. It is still practiced until 8th grade. The questions are the basis of this method. Questions lead us to answers.
If this method is implemented correctly, students' notebooks should be full of questions. Those questions must have been asked beyond the textbook. The teacher should have allowed it. The mental map drawn by the students varies according to each person's comprehension ability. If there are 40 students in a class, there are 40 types of man.
Most children's notebooks have the same kind of question when examining the real classroom. Those are the questions behind the book. Searching across the classroom is the same kind of mental map.
Students and teachers are reluctant to get out of it, as new methods are introduced but ultimately the evaluation system is old question writing. Writing the right answer to the questions is special.
Creating unanswered questions is twice as good. Unanswered questions can only lead to new learning.
As a Shakespeare MA, a college professor called his mother and told him he was very fluent in English. His mother was also very worried. He did not complete his MA degree in English. But you cannot buy MA degrees without reading what he wrote today. He was able to achieve this because he was not interested in reading and writing in the book, but rather in asking new questions and finding answers.
We need to promote the ability to question children.
No need to know the answers.
They will find answers to new questions along the way.
If you get used to asking yourself five questions every day, they will actually become great creators.
'Why can't I do it? Than the question of '
'How can you do that? 'The question will lead us to a better path.
