Learning Styles

Together, perceiving and processing describe the whole range of the learning experience. While all learners engage in all types of learning, most seem to favor one particular type…

Type Four

Dynamic Learning–Doing and feeling. Seeking hidden possibilities, exploring, learning by trial and error, self-discovery.

Creating original adaptations. Key question: If?

 

Type One

Imaginative Learning–Feeling and watching, seeking personal associations, meaning, involvement.

Making connections. Key question: Why?

 

Type Three

Common Sense Learning–Thinking and doing. Experimenting, building, creating usability. Tinkering.

Applying ideas. Key question: How?

Type Two

Analytic Learning–Listening to and thinking about information; seeking facts, thinking through ideas; learning what the experts think.

Formulating ideas. Key question: What?

Learning Styles & YOU

We all have preferences with regard to how we perceive and process newness.  These preferences form our "learning style".

Some of us perceive with our feelings and senses. Others move to thinking and naming.

Some of us process reflectively, quietly. We think about it. Others process actively, we need to touch it.

The combination of how we perceive and process results in our learning style.

Which are you?

  • Type 1 Learners perceive with sensing/feeling and process reflectively.
  • Type 2 Learners perceive with thinking and process reflectively.
  • Type 3 Learners perceive with thinking and process actively.
  • Type 4 Learners perceive with their sense and feeling and process actively.
