Methods and Strategies Day 3 Flashcards
Refer to the preferred ways an individual processes information
Learning Style
These learners must see their teachers actions and facial expressions to fully understand. They may think in pictures and learn best from visual aids
Visual Learners
More interested in visual imagery such as film, graphic displays, or pictures. Have good picture memory
“Read a map better than to read a book”
Visual Iconic
Feel comfortable with abstracts symbolism such as words and numbers. Good abstract thinkers.
“Read book than a map”
Visual Symbolic
Learn through verbal lectures, discussions, taking, and listening to what others have to say
Auditory Learners
Remember things said to them and even carry-on mental conversation to review what others have to say
Listeners
Prefer to talk and discuss with those around them
Talkers
Learn best through touch
Tactile learners
Prefer hands-on learning or learning by doing
Kinesthetic Learners
“Tree seers”
-Lean towards linear, step by step processing of learning
-See infinite patterns rather than the whole
-World of details and hierarchy of information
Analytic (Left Brained)
“Forest Seers”
-Non linear thought
-Whole pattern rather than elements
-Overall structure and sometimes ignore details
Global ( Right brained)
Left brain learners are said to be the following:
✅Verbal
✅ Respond to word meaning
✅ Sequential
✅ Process information linearly
✅ Respond to Logic
✅ Plans ahead
✅ Recall peoples names
✅ Speaks with few gestures
✅ Punctual
✅ Formal study design, bright lights
Give the characteristics of right brained or global learners
🎨Visual
🎨 Respond to tone of voice
🎨 Random
🎨Process information in varied order
🎨 Respond to emotion
🎨 Impulsive
🎨 Recall people’s faces
🎨Speaks with gestures
🎨 Less punctual
🎨 Prefer sound and music background
Premise that instructional approaches should vary and be adapted in relation to individual and diverse students in the classroom
Differentiated Instruction
Principle of learning which implies that learning should become an active process where learners “learn by doing”
Learning is activated by the learner
Teacher Grace believes in the uniqueness of students and believes that all learners have their own learning styles through the multiple intelligences
A. Process of problem solving and learning are highly unique and individual
B. Richest resources for learning is the learner himself
A. Process of problem solving and learning are highly unique and individual
