  1. A little on Sternberg’s theory of mental self-governmentandThe learning styles in ”the Danish Self-Assessment Learning Styles Inventory” (D-SA-LSI) Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab

  2. Why learning styles within Sternberg’s theory? • Psychological style concept • Learning and teaching styles in the same conceptual framework • Broadness in style profile • Plausible and usable profiles • Styles are context-specific • Styles can be developed Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab 2

  3. Theory of mental self-government (Sternberg) + Danish adaptation Thinkingstyle = A profile of stylesdescribing the individual’spreferredways of thinking i specificcontexts Learning style Supervision style Teachingstyle Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab

  4. Learning, teaching& supervision style • A profile of thinking styles describing the individual’s preferred ways of thinking in a specific learningteachingsupervision context • “Ways of thinking” represent different ways of perceiving and handling different types of problems/situations in the context Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab 4

  5. The style profile – 1 • Styles are preferences in the use of abilities, not abilities themselves • Difference between style and strategy • People have profiles (or patterns) of styles, not just a single style (always all 14 styles with differing strengths and flexibility) • Styles are not, on average, good or bad – it’s a question of fit with the specific context Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab 5

  6. The style profile - 2 • Styles valued at one time may not be valued at another • Styles valued in one place may not be valued in another • We can confuse stylistic fit with levels of abilities Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab 6

  7. The style profile - 3 • Styles are variable across tasks and situations • Styles are socialized and can be affected (are learnable/teachable) • Styles are measurable Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab

  8. The 14 learningstyles Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab 8

  9. The learning styles profile Internal Alone Internal reference External With others External reference Level styles Leaning styles Conservative The well-known Liberal The new Legislative Problem definition Goal setting Strategy making Functional styles Form styles Executive Pre-defined problems and guidelines Problem/ Learning situation Anarchic Multiple ways to several solutions of uncertain importance Oligarchic Multiple ways to several solutions of equal importance Monarchic Simple, direct way to the solution Hierarchic Prioritezed way To several (partial) solutions Global The abstract and general Local The concrete and specific Judicial Proces- and results evaluation Analysis, Critigue Democratic Dialog towards common solution Scope styles Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab

  10. This means …. • The person with a strong XX style will be drawn/attracted to problems of the corresponding type (real) • Or • The person with a strong XX style will try to solve ”all” problems as if they were of the corresponding type (perceived) Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab 10

  11. Learners with different Functional styles prefer to • Legislative: define the problem, set the goals, and plan the strategy • Executive: execute according to guidelines • Judicial:evaluate, analyze, and criticize ideas, processes and results Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab

  12. Learners with different Form styles prefer to • Monarchic: seek to solve the problem • Hierarchic: seek to solve prioritized partial problems • Oligarchic: seek to solve several problems simultaneously • Anarchic: seek to solve self-defined/ramdom problems (avoiding established systems) • Democratic:seek to find the best common solution Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab

  13. Learners with different Levelstyles prefer to • Global: conceptualize and work on an abstract level • Local: work with the pragmatics of a situation/problem on a concrete level Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab

  14. Learners with different scopestyles prefer to • External: to work with others and/or tasks that deal with people (to seek answers and information from others) • Internal:to work alone and/or use intellect in relation to things or ideas isolated from other people (to seek answers from within one self ) Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab

  15. Learners with different Leaningstyles prefer to • Progressive: go for the unknown - to maximize change, to seek (or to feel comfortable with) ambiguous situations • Conservative:stick with the well known - To minimize change, to avoid (or to feel uncomfortable with) ambiguous situations Tine Nielsen, CBS Learning Lab
