UNIT 2 Understanding the Learners 2.2- LEARNING STYLES Flashcards
Learners are intrinsically different and have different
preferred __________
learning styles
___________ is a purposeful intervention with the aims of
promoting learning and causing learning to happen
Teaching
__________ provide teachers with an organized system for creating an appropriate learning environment, and planning instructional activities.
Learning models
learning is a process whereby
knowledge is created by transformation of experience.
KOLB’S LEARNING MODEL
An American educational
theorist that introduced KOLB’S LEARNING MODEL
David Allen Kolb
Knowledge, according to Kolb, results from a combination of
___________ and __________ it.
- grasping experience
- transforming
Kolb’s Model for the Learning Cycle:
- CONCRETE EXPERIENCE
- REFLECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF THE NEW EXPERIENCE
- ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION
- ACTIVE EXPERIMENTATION
when a new experience or situation is encountered, or
a reinterpretation of existing experience.
Kolb’s Model for the Learning Cycle
CONCRETE EXPERIENCE
if there are any
inconsistencies between experience and
understanding.
Kolb’s Model for the Learning Cycle
REFLECTIVE EXPERIENCE OF THE NEW EXPERIENCE
reflection gives rise to a new idea or a modification of an existing abstract concept the person has learned from their experience.
Kolb’s Model for the Learning Cycle
ABSTRACT CONCEPTUALIZATION
the learners apply the ideas to the world around them to see what happens.
Kolb’s Model for the Learning Cycle
ACTIVE EXPERIMENTATION
a set of 3 hierarchical models used to classify educational learning objectives into levels of complexity and specificity.
BLOOM’s Learning Model
The three lists of BLOOM’s Learning Model cover the learning objectives in:
- Cognitive (mental skills/knowledge),
- Affective (feelings/emotions, attitude, self)
- Psychomotor (manual or physical skills) domains.
Known as Bloom’s Taxonomy

Honey and Mumford Learning styles
Activists
They prefer to think problems through in a step-by-step manner. They like lecctures, systems, case studies, models, and readings.

Coverger
prefer the use of images, maps, and graphic organizers to access and understand new information.
Vark
Visual
best understand new content through listening and speaking in situations such as lectures and group discussions.
Auditory
use repetition as a study technique and benefit from the use of mnemonic devices.
Auditory
Students with a strong reading/writing preference learn best through words. These students may present themselves as copious note takers or avid readers, and are able to translate abstract concepts into words and essays.
Read & Write
best understand information through tactile representations of information. These students are hands-on learners and learn best through figureing things out by hand (i.e. understanding how a clock works by putting one together.)
Kinesthetic
Vark’s types of learners
- Visual
- Aural
- Read and Write
- Kinesthetic
stands for Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic sensory modalities
that are used for learning information.
VARK
suggested four modalities that
seemed to reflect the
experiences of the students and
teachers
