LEARNING STYLES
WHAT ARE LEARNING STYLES?
• We process information in three
ways: seeing, hearing and doing
• Your preferred learning style is the
one you use the most
• Visual Learners
• Auditory Learners
• Tactile Learners
VISUAL LEARNERS
• Prefer to see information such as graphics,
charts, and power-points
• Visualize what they hear
• Can become distracted in lectures when
visual aids are not used
VISUAL LEARNERS MAY BENEFIT
FROM:
 Visiting textbook on-line companion sites, bringing power
point presentations to class, and taking notes along side
them
 Reading the chapter ahead of time and taking notes
while reading
 Taking notes during class and revising them as soon as
possible after class
 Color coding main ideas and sub-topics
 Creating study aides such as note cards, drawing
diagrams, making charts
AUDITORY LEARNERS
• Prefer to hear information out loud
• Prefer lecture style classes
• May not need extensive notes
• May read aloud
AUDITORY LEARNERS MAY BENEFIT FROM:
• Lecture style class
• Study groups in order to hear others discuss concepts
• Taping lectures and listening to them after class
• Reading aloud
TACTILE OR KINESTHETIC
LEARNERS
• Prefer to take interactive classes
• Learn through experience and physical activity
TACTILE OR KINESTHETIC LEARNERS
BENEFIT FROM:
• Creating charts, diagrams and graphs
• Taking notes
• Making flash cards
• Transcribing hand-written notes onto the computer
• Completing practice problems when applicable
• Participating in demonstrations such as labs and group
presentations
 Visual and tactile learners should take detailed notes during a
lecture
 Tactile learners may also benefit from rewriting/typing notes, or
making flashcards.
 Auditory learners who prefer lecture classes should work on
strengthening their visual and tactile skills by taking notes.
APPLYING YOUR PREFERRED LEARNING STYLE TO
LECTURE CLASSES
• Tactile and auditory learners may benefit by sitting in the
front of the class
• They should also take notes during the presentation, and
soon after class make additions to class notes
• Auditory learners may benefit from study groups to
reinforce information that was delivered through visual
presentations
• Tactile learners could recreate visuals as a way to connect
with new material
APPLYING YOUR PREFERRED LEARNING STYLE TO
VISUAL PRESENTATIONS
• Works well for tactile learners
• Visual and auditory learners can enhance their
abilities by taking notes on class procedures and
using lab time for additional practice
APPLYING YOUR PREFERRED LEARNING STYLE
TO LABS
BUILD YOUR SKILLS ACROSS THE LEARNING
STYLES
 Maximize your learning style
 Practice skills that do not come easily
to you
 Try new things and new ways to learn
 Use multiple modalities to enhance
learning
