Learning Styles Activists - “here and now” gregarious, seek challenge and immediate experience, open minded, bored with implementation!
Activists Learn best: Reflectors - “stand back”, gather data, ponder and analyse, delay reaching conclusions, listen before speaking, thoughtful
Reflectors Learn best: - Observe others, opportunity to review what happened, producing analysis and reports
- Paired discussions, feedback from others, coaching, observing activities
Learn less well: - Leaders or role players, being rushed, tight deadlines, deep end learning
Theorists - Think things through in logical steps, assimilate disparate facts into theories, rationally objective, reject subjectivity and flippancy
Theorists Learn best: - Structured situations with clear purpose, chance to question/probe ideas
- Models, statistics, quotes, background info, applying theories
Learn less well: - Situations that emphasise emotions and feelings, unstructured activity, poor briefing, doing things without knowing principles/concepts
Pragmatists Pragmatists Learn best: - Immediate opportunities to implement what learned, link between topic and job, model they can copy, try out with feedback
- Case studies, problem solving, discussion
Learn less well: - No apparent pay-back to learning, “all theory” event, no practice or guidelines, insufficient reward perceived
However…. - The evidence is poor – maybe works best as a lens
- Learners should learn in all modalities
- Beware of teaching only in your own preferred style
