Dunn & Dunn’s Learning Style Model
Environmental. The environmental strand refers
to these elements: lighting, sound,
temperature, and seating arrangement.
Emotional. This strand includes the following
elements: motivation, persistence,

Editor's Notes

  • #13 Instincts -natural tendency to respond to stimuli Imagination - ability to form mental images d. Memory -ability to retain and recall past experiences e. Intellect -ability to form ideas, concepts, reason out, make judgment
  • #14 Rational will – the power of the mind to choose what to d, or strong feeling determination.
  • #19 American Psychologist , professor of cognition- education- Harvard University Intelligence – the ability to create product or offer a service - a set of skills to solve problems - potential – have talent- skills but not yet develop
  • #22 Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates
  • #23 Bo Sanchez, Mike Velarde, JFK, President Marcos, Mirriam Defensor-Santiago
  • #24 Sebastian Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Elvis Presly, Side A band, Bary Valenciano, Sarah Geronimo, Yeng Constantino, Yoyoy Villame
  • #25 Micheal Angelo, Lonardo Da Vinci, Walter Disney
  • #26 Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, Bill Gates
  • #27 Charles Darwin, Mendel, Alex Flemming
  • #28 Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas
  • #29 Mother theresa, Pope John Paul II
  • #30 Implications: teachers should provide varied learning experiences to accommodate the learner’s MI - provide different learning activities to develop the learners to adapt/ modify to do favour
  • #33 The Dunn and Dunn Learning Style Model The Dunns' Learning-Style Model is complex and encompasses 5 strands of 21 elements that affect each individual's learning. Some of these elements are biological and others are developmental. Style changes over time. A summary of these elements is provided below (Dunn, 2000). -For example, some people need to study in a cool and quiet room, and others cannot focus unless they have music playing and it is warm (sound and temperature elements). -For example, some people must complete a project before they start a new one, and others work best on multiple tasks at the same time (persistence element). -For example, a number of people need to work alone when tackling a new and difficult subject, while others learn best when working with colleagues (learning alone or with peers element). -For example, many people refer to themselves as night owls or early birds because they function best at night or in the morning (time-of-day element). -The hemispheric element refers to left and right brain processing modes; the impulsive versus reflective style describes how some people leap before thinking and others scrutinize the situation before moving an inch. Global and analytic elements are unique in comparison to other elements because these two elements are made up of distinct clusters of elements found in the other four strands. The elements that determine global and analytic processing styles are: sound, light, seating arrangement, persistence, sociological preference, and intake. Global and analytic processing styles will be discussed in detail in the next section.
