Typical profile of an OT student at Deakin ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
A comprehensive learning styles summary activity, based on: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Today we have time to look at one aspect of the learning style profile activity…
Understanding yourself as a learner The results of the inventory give information about learning style preferences. (Honey & Mumford, 1992) This is used to participate in a significant first semester group learning task. Activist Pragmatist Theorist Reflector
Profiles of Honey & Mumford’s learning styles My philosophy is... if it's logical, it's good! Theorist My philosophy is... it's good to be cautious! Reflector Activist My philosophy is... I'll try anything once! Pragmatist My philosophy is... there is always a better way!
Understanding others as  similar  learners Students meet others in their tute-group with the same learning style preference Pragmatist Theorist Reflector Activist Activist Pragmatist Pragmatist Pragmatist Reflector Theorist Reflector
 
Understanding others as  different  learners Students move to small work-groups which comprise the four learning styles…They discuss how their style could be a strength and a weakness at University… … they will stay in these groups for the semester to complete a significant assessment activity Activist Pragmatist Theorist Reflector
This activity has a range of outcomes! ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
The task they will complete includes: ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Types of groups the students ran ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
Student Reflections ,[object Object],It was great working in a team… I could never achieve that on my own I really love leading a group!
Student reflection is important ,[object Object],When working with a theorist I need to be patient  It was great to know how to work with others, knowing their learning style really made sense This knowledge and skill is then available as graduates (Activist learner)
Teacher Reflection ,[object Object],I am a pragmatist and need to be careful about my style when trying to engage all my students (Biggs, 2003).
[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Can we use knowledge of learning style to progress from  student of occupational therapy to artist of  occupational therapy?
