Mini4mat overview
This document provides an introduction to the 4MAT model of learning styles. It discusses how individuals approach learning in different ways and outlines key researchers and theories that influenced the development of the 4MAT model. The 4MAT model categorizes learners into four quadrants based on their preferences for perceiving information (feeling vs thinking) and processing information (active vs reflective). Understanding individual learning styles can help educators design more effective instruction that engages all types of learners.
