- What is your learning style? What sorts of learning experiences would suit you best with your learning style?
Learning Styles Questionnaire – Results
Active vs Reflective = Active (scale 1)
Considered to be an active learner indicates that I retain information best through discussion or explanation, although I am almost on the borderline between the two, which suggests that I do like to think it through first too.
Sensing vs Intuitive = Sensing (scale 7)
A strong sensing learner indicates that I am more comfortable to learn facts as opposed to theories, could explain my choice of education (a Bach. of Exercise Science, as opposed to an Arts degree, for example). I’m good at memorizing things and prefer doing hands on work
Visual vs Verbal = Visual (scale 7)
Considered to be a visual learner, it is assumed that I digest information best through visual representation such as pictures/photos, diagrams, charts etc. I have found my attention is definitely drawn straight to the visual parts and I much prefer to look than listen (may be due to a short attention span).
Sequential vs Global = Sequential (scale 5)
Results indicate that I am more a sequential learner, which could explain why I love taking smaller steps towards the larger goal. I’m also big on details so this way I find it easier to not miss crucial aspects of the process.
It can be assumed that there are particular learning experiences that would best suit my own individual learning styles, which were discovered from the results of the learning styles questionnaire. Taking these into consideration, I would be best suited to factual learning where there is opportunity to discuss and reflect. For me, presented information is processed best when it is visual and delivered in a sequential and logical manner.
- In a traditional classroom of 25 students, how would you support the range of learning styles each lesson?
Providing variety of modes in which to present a lesson as well as providing choice in which to present work/assignments would help support the range of learning styles.
- With your current knowledge of ICT, how could your design and digital pedagogy support your learners better?
As students in school have been exposed to a range of technologies since birth it only makes sense to use modern practises.
- What sorts of profiling questions would you be asking about your learners to ensure you cater for everyone's preferences?
- Are all students engaged?
- What aspects of the lesson are increasing/decreasing each students interest?
- How are the students approaching the material?
- Is there a variety of ways the message is conveyed, in order to suit each learning style?
- What parts of the lesson were most effective for each student?
- How does ICT support differences in learning styles?
ICT incorporates a range of experiences that suit each learning style. It can assist in offering the same information in a variety of ways
Questions?
- Why is a seat furthest away from the front avoided and how can this be changed?
