2. Defining Different Styles of Learning
• Preferential way of students absorb, process, comprehend &
retain information
• Process/ strategy a learner adapts to learn easily
& meaningfully
• Source & factor that makes individual different
• Unique/ particular way a person approaches learning

3. Factors considering Learning Styles
• Heredity – mental and physical level
• Upbringing – child-rearing
• Environment Demands – social connections

4. Learning Styles on Education
• Apply appropriate instructional materials & techniques/
strategies to learners
• Guide & teach learners on how to effectively treat & process
information
• Educators should develop & possess knowledge of Learning
Styles
• Teaching methods should connect to Learning Styles using
various combinations

5. VARK Model of Learning
1992 Neil D. Fleming and Coleen E. Mills
• Visual Learners - internalize and synthesize information when it is
presented to them in a graphic depiction of meaningful symbols
• Auditory Learners - most successful when they are given the
opportunity to hear information presented to them vocally
• Reading/Writing Learners - best in the reading/writing modality
demonstrate a strong learning preference for the written word
• Kinesthetic Learners - hands-on, participatory learners takes physically active role in the
learning process to achieve their best educational outcomes

7. Kolb's Basic Learning Styles
Kolb's Learning Cycle
• Concrete Experience
• reinterpretation of existing experience
• Reflective Observation
• recount and evaluate their experience
• Abstract Conceptualization
• link experience with learning
• Active Experimentation
• create plans for further learning
experiences
Kolb's Learning Style
• Converger - solve problems and will
use their learning to find solutions to
practical issues
• Diverger - prefer to watch rather than
do, tending to gather information and
use imagination to solve problems
• Assimilator - learning preference
involves a concise, logical approach
• Accommodator - style is 'hands-on,'
and relies on intuition; use other
people's analysis, and prefer to take a
practical, experiential approach

9. Honey & Mumford Learning Styles
• Activist - Activists are those people who learn by doing. Have an open-
minded approach to learning, involving themselves fully and without bias
in new experiences.
• Theorist- These learners like to understand the theory behind the
actions. Prefer to analyse and synthesise, drawing new information into a
systematic and logical 'theory'.
• Pragmatist - These people need to be able to see how to put the
learning into practice in the real world. Experimenters, trying out new
ideas, theories and techniques to see if they work.
• Reflector - These people learn by observing and thinking about what
happened. Prefer to stand back and view experiences from a number of
different perspectives, collecting data and taking the time to work towards an
appropriate conclusion.
