  1. Learning StylesThe “Learning Styles Inventory” There are three basic learning styles: Visual Auditory Tactile

  2. Kinds of visual learners… • The first are VISUAL LANGUAGE learners: • These people like to see words in books, on computer screens, on the board and in charts. • Often they learn better from books than they do in class. • Having information on paper is much more important than hearing it.

  3. Kinds of visual learners… • The second kind are VISUAL NUMERICAL- they like to see numbers on the board, in a book, software & videos. • They want to see visible numbers, rather than hear them. • They like things printed on paper rather than oral explanations.

  4. Kinds of auditory learners • The first kind are AUDITORY LANGUAGE learners: • These students learn best from the spoken word. • You may hear these students vocalize words as they read, especially when dealing with something new. • They like to study with music and by talking to others about their subjects.

  5. Kinds of auditory learners… • Second, AUDITORY NUMERICAL learners want to hear oral explanations of math problems. • They remember numbers easily and can usually work problems in their heads, often without needing paper and pencil. • You may hear them reading numbers and problems to themselves.

  6. Tactile learners • TACTILE CONCRETE learners seem to get knowledge best from direct physical experience. • They need to touch and manipulate what they are studying as well as see and hear it. • They often learn best when their hands are involved. • Their key word is “hands on!”

  7. Social Learning Styles • INDIVIDUAL LEARNERS get more work done alone. • They think best and remember more when they learn by themselves. • They keep their own counsel; they do not let other’s opinions influence them. • They usually socialize very little in class

  8. Social Learning Styles • GROUP LEARNERS value studying with others and don’t get as much done alone. • They want to hear other people’s opinions and ideas. • Group interaction increases their learning and knowledge. • Socializing is very important to group learners.

  9. Expressing Information • Learners who are ORAL EXPRESSIVE like to tell what they know out loud. • They talk fluently & comfortably and are not shy about speaking in front of a group. • Organizing their thoughts to write on paper may be a slow, boring process for these oral students.

  10. Expressing Information • Students who are WRITTEN EXPRESSIVE generally write fluent essays and do well on written tests. • Their thoughts are better organized on paper and they may feel insecure having to give oral answers. • The written word is much important to them than the spoken one.

  11. Remember! Important! • No one learning style is better than any other. • It is quite possible that you have a combination of learning styles and they may be equally necessary to you. • Finding out what works best for you is what is important! • “KNOW THYSELF!” and be the most effective learner you can be…
