What are Learning Styles? • Cognitive styles • “…people’s characteristic and typically preferred modes of processing information” • Thinking styles • “…preferred ways of using the abilities one has…” Adapted from Sternberg, R.J., Grigorenko, E.L. (1997). Are cognitive styles still in style? American Psychologist, 52(7), 700-712.
Learning Styles: Interface Between Cognition and Personality Profile Students to Improve Learning Learning Styles Cognition Personality
Different Styles of Learning • Cognition-centered • Gardner (1953) • Witkin (1973) • Personality-centered • Jung (1923) • Myers and Myers (1980) • Gregorc (1984) • Activity-centered • Kolb (1974) • Dunn and Dunn (1978)
