  1. Learning Styles Jo Swallow/Peter Searle-Barnes

  2. Objectives To consider how we learn. To use honey/mumford to analyse your own learning style. To be able to appreciate other styles. To consider adapting your own style in the future.

  3. Learning refresher At induction, we talked about methods of learning. We talked about your memorable learning experiences. Now consider: How did you prepare for your last exam? Do you know of any odd techniques amongst colleagues/friends?

  4. Surface/Deep learning

  5. Surface • Surface • learning of facts and ideas • Focusing on task components in isolation • Little real interest in content

  6. Deep learning • Deep • Interest in the subject • Vocational relevance • Personal understanding • Relate ideas to evidence • Identifying general principles

  7. What is your style? There are no right/wrong types.

  8. Summary of learning styles

  9. Preferred learning activities

  10. Honey and Mumford- Example

  11. VAK model • Visual-Auditory-Kinaesthetic (VAK) Model • VAK was a model originally devised in the 1920s to help teach dyslexic children. • The model is based on our senses: that we represent information in terms of three modalities – visual, auditory or kinaesthesia. • Each of us has all three representation systems but usually one dominates; some people may be evenly balanced in all three.

  12. Choose the learning which you prefer.

  13. Conclusions Learning in an effective way will save you time Ask your trainer what type of learner they are, ?they may wish to adapt their teaching style?

  14. Thought for the day Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn and you will.  ~Vernon Howard
