Different Models for Learning Styles - Multiple Intelligences📚🤓

📚🤓Different Models for Learning Styles - Multiple Intelligences📚🤓

Hello, here again with a new blog of the week for my dear readers. 

This time I will tell you that we had a brief summary about the Different Models for Learning Styles, where we concluded this topic and we will start with the week of expositions but I will tell you about that until next week, meanwhile I leave you some information about this topic, and some pictures and videos of what we saw in the class.

Different Learning Styles?

It is often recognized that there are differences in the ways individuals learn. Even at a very young age, a child will prefer certain subjects and teachers over others. They may be excited at their performance on a math assignment, but spend their time in history class doodling. Alternatively, a child may be an enthusiastic art student under the guidance of one teacher, and then lose interest when that teacher is replaced. These are the consequences of a child’s unique learning style.

In the classroom, teachers will notice that students vary remarkably in the pace and manner by which they pick up new ideas and information. This same concept carries into the workplace, where employers notice that employees learn and perform better under different conditions. Conversely, each teacher has their own preferred method of teaching. Each teacher has their particular style and then so does each learner. Problems can occur when teachers and learners don’t match.

I want to share about David Kolb's opinion on Learning Styles.

“Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience.” – David A. Kolb

David A. Kolb’s model is outlined his book “Experiential Learning”, published in 1984. In this book, Kolb speaks of a four-stage cycle of learning as well as four independent learning styles. According to Kolb, all four stages of the learning cycle will be engaged in a complete learning process. The four stages are described below.

1. Concrete Experience – This occurs when a new experience, or a reinterpretation of an existing experience, is encountered.
2. Reflective Observation – This occurs when the experience is reviewed or reflected upon, with the goal of achieving a consistent understanding.
3. Abstract Conceptualization – This occurs when a new idea or concept arises from reflection.
4. Active Experimentation – This occurs when new ideas are applied to the world and the results are observed.

David Kolb’s four learning styles are built upon this four-stage learning cycle.  An individual will naturally prefer one of these styles over the others. This preference is influenced by social and educational environments as well as cognitive structures. Although everyone will occasionally need the stimulus of all four of these learning styles, it is useful to know your personal orientation.

See you next week my dear readers stay tuned for upcoming blogs.
