16. helping people learn Background ? In the early 1960s, Roger Sperry, a psychologist in the USA, performed some experiments. He discovered that the brain is separated into two halves - two separate hemispheres. LEFT BRAIN & RIGHT BRAIN He found that each side of the brain has different roles and functions.
17. helping people learn Background ? LEFT BRAIN , RIGHT BRAIN & “ REPTILLIAN” BRAIN He found that each side of the brain has different roles and functions. At the back of the brain, close to the neck and spine, is the “reptillean” brain - which controls very basic thought processes

20. helping people learn Background ? The left Brain and the right Brain work together - they are not competition with each other. Being innovative and creative depends on us using and exercising both sides of the brain LEFT BRAIN & RIGHT BRAIN Working Together!
21. helping people learn Background ? Since then, a number of psychologists and learning specialist have identified a number of learning intelligences - different ways in which we learn: Linguistic Logical/Mathematical Visual/Spatial Bodily/Kinesthetic Musical Interpersonal Intrapersonal Naturalistic

30. Background ? So, how do we develop a system of learning that uses both the the LEFT & RIGHT brain ? And how do we develop a system of learning that encourages all of the learning styles or intelligences ? Linguistic Logical/Mathematical Visual/Spatial Bodily/Kinesthetic Musical Interpersonal Intrapersonal Naturalistic
31. Background ? We are going to use system developed by an American teacher: BERNICE McCARTHY…. It is called the 4-MAT system Watching Sensing/feeling Thinking Doing Type 1 WHY? Type 2 WHAT? Type 3 HOW? Type 4 WHAT If? RB RB LB LB RB RB LB LB

33. helping people learn Lets start….. Early experiments by DAVID KOLB (1974) Showed us that there were 4 types of learners (like the different learning intelligences) Watching Sensing/feeling Thinking Doing Type 1 Type 2 Type 3 Type 4
34. helping people learn 4-MAT Watching Sensing/feeling Thinking Doing AWARENESS - I become aware that something is happening that I am interested in PERSONAL - I take in your information and I think how it may effect me. Tell me more about some people like me COLLABORATION - let me share and talk with others about how we will use this in the future MANAGEMENT _ show me how I can manage this information and use it . INFORMATIONAL - give me little bit more information about what I am seeing/feeling RE-FOCUSING - let me think about this new things and decide how to use it in the future Lets start…..
35. Lets start….. helping people learn 4-MAT Watching Sensing/feeling Thinking Doing Type 1 WHY? Type 2 WHAT? Type 3 HOW? Type 4 WHAT If? Create an experience that engages personal meaning Analyse the experience Use the experience to set questions for more knowledge Provide detailed information and knowledge Share the learning with others Analyse the results Adapt and experiment Try it out -guided -like a “recipe” RB RB LB LB RB RB LB LB
36. helping people learn 4-MAT Watching Sensing/feeling Thinking Doing Type 1 WHY? Create an experience that engages personal meaning Analyse the experience RB LB Lets do it
37. Lets do it Some Activities that could be used for Type 1 Motivational Stories, Songs and Poems Simulations, Games, Exercises, Dance Discussions, Drama, Theatre Role Playing, Debate Movies, videos, Audio tapes, Music Painting, Drawing Food, cooking, Smells. Field trips, walking, touching Simulations, demonstrations

40. Lets do it Some Activities that could be used for Type 2 Formal lecture Lecture with visual aides Lecture with notes and exercises Reading assignments and homework Example problems Seminar or conference Instructional Video or CD Rom Handouts and information sheets

43. Lets do it Some Activities that could be used for Type 3 Workshop style Laboratory experiments Practical exercises Site visits, field trips, case studies Computer simulations Objective exams Example problems with workshop tasks Physical exercises, trials, tasks Real-life simulations Exams and tests Hands-on exercises
