This articles gives a brief description of each style and how you can teach to it. It is always important for teachers to teach to their students’ learning styles but this becomes crucial when teaching English language learners. ELLs may be highly literate in their own language but experience difficulties when acquiring English because they are accustomed to learning through a different style. Most American teachers, especially in the upper grades, teach to students with an auditory learning style. This can be very difficult for the ELLs in your class. Auditory Learners Students with this style will be able to recall what they hear and will prefer oral instructions. They learn by listening and speaking. These students enjoy talking and interviewing. They are phonetic readers who enjoy oral reading, choral reading, and listening to recorded books. They learn best by doing the the following: interviewing, debating

GSU Master Teacher Program: On Learning Styles This file discusses briefly (1) the four dimensions underlying the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and (2) several teaching approaches that will appeal to different MBTI profiles. The 126 item Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Form G, is the most reliable method for assessing student learning style. The MBTI provides data on four sets of preferences. These preferences result in 16 learning styles, or types. A type is the combination of the four preferences. The most common MBTI type for business undergraduates is the ESTJ, the Extraverted-Sensing-Thinking-Judger. The MBTI instrument should be administered in the first or second class period by the counseling center at your school. It takes about 45 minutes to complete the instrument. The counseling center can score the MBTI and share the data with the students. Students enjoy learning about themselves and find the MBTI data informative. Extraversion (E) versus Introversion (I) This preference tells us how people "charge their batteries." Introverts find energy in the inner world of ideas, concepts, and abstractions. They can be sociable but need quiet to recharge their batteries. Introverts want to understand the world. Introverts are

Links Are in the Picture Below Helping our children learn and grow across the St. Tammany area. The Learning Garden Home school group was formed in 2000 to give home schooling families in the St. Tammany Parish a place to go where their children can play and the parents could share ideas, concerns and enjoy each others company. We believe that all children need interaction with other children and that all homeschooling parents need support and feedback from other homeschooling families. Our group provides a forum for children and parents to meet. We created the Learning Garden to include members of any spiritual or religious background. We envision our group as made up of every social and cultural background. We do not endorse any particular method of learning or curriculum, but we support each other in our choices of educational methods and styles. We want our children to learn about people as individuals as well as the cultures from which they came. Our families share their wisdom and talents with each other, and we all respect each other’s differences and choices in education and life styles. The Learning Garden is a Variety Garden and we recognize that "Variety is the Spice of Life". The Learning Garden Home School Group meets once a week in one of the many St. Tammany parks. As we watch our children, we talk about our homeschooling styles, problems we have faced, what our children study, our lives, our families, literature, our hobbies and so much more. We have monthly 4-H meetings and a presentation day with a potluck lunch. Our members also arrange other outings as the opportunities arise.

YOUR AD HERE You are HERE >> Teaching/Learning Methods and Skills >> Pedagogy The Seven Learning Styles by Stacy Mantle May 1, 2001 How many ways are there to learn about a subject? According to the latest findings by several leading psychologists, there are seven specific types of learning styles. This means that in order to maximize learning advantages, you must define the type of learner that you have, and cater the lesson to that particular learning style. For example, if your child is primarily a linguistic learner, you could incorporate several novels into your curriculum. You could encourage short stories to explain scientific developments, or allow the student to rewrite a difficult math problem into a story problem. If he/she is primarily logical, you will want to emphasize charts, tables, and diagrams. Venn diagrams work well with a logical learner. Read each description below to determine which style best describes your student. Remember that it is possible to have more than one style of learning, particularly in the intrapersonal and interpersonal categories (numbers six and seven), which have traditionally been interpreted as personality types. 1.

Your Ad Here You are HERE >> Learning Skills >> Communication Skills Target Audience Parents, Educators Learning To Learn In Order to Teach by Joanne Mikola February 22, 2001 My first foray in to an organized field of education was when I was sixteen and looking for a great summer job. The only aptitude I had ever shown was my ability to swim and be beaten competitively by my little brother, consistently. So, out of the water and humiliation I swam; into courses that would lead to the entry requirements for lifeguarding and teaching swimming. My brother could keep the fame, I was aiming for a fortune, or at least minimum wage. Some of the methods of teaching we were expected to learn in Instructor's training were very simplistic but effective: children learn one of two ways: traditionally (that is tell, demo, practice, test) or by 'discovery' ('Oh, look. Johnny floats when I let go'). Later in life, I took more courses in Adult Education. It thrilled me to learn that adults, unlike children, were self motivated and self directed and to underestimate those factors would surely doom any presentation to failure. One of the challenges that an instructor would face was to effectively use the individuals' backgrounds and strengths as both starting points and building blocks to facilitate their quest for knowledge, both individually and as a group. Another was to 'teach to the majority' without isolating the minorities- the very bright or the too slow. Another enlightened moment occurred while doing a distance ed course in Psychology. The assignment schedule started off with... a crossword puzzle? Surely this was an error. Not only was the task fun, but, it was stressed, it was open book! I wanted to sign up for every course that professor taught! This didn't feel like effort at all. But was I learning? My marks said I was.

11. Karen Hood's Paper that students can identify their own learning styles; when exposed than those nottaught in their learning style; and it is advantageous to teach and test http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT705/EMT705.Hood.html

Exploring Learning Styles and Instruction by Karen Hood EMT 705 Theory Learning is an interactive process, the product of student and teacher activity within a specific learning environment. These activities, which are the central elements of the learning process, show a wide variation in pattern, style and quality (Keefe, 1987). Learning problems frequently are not related to the difficulty of the subject matter but rather to the type and level of cognitive process required to learn the material (Keefe, 1988). Gregorc and Ward (1977) claim that if educators are to successfully address the needs of the individual they have to understand what "individual" means. They must relate teaching style to learning style. The famous case of Tinker versus DesMoines Community School District (1969) which concerns itself with student rights will be extended to encompass the right of a student to learn in ways that complement his ability to achieve. Public Law 94-142 which requires the identification of learning style and individualization for all handicapped children is one step away from mandating individualization for all students (Dunn and Dunn, 1978). Educators must learn to base programs on the differences that exist among students rather than on the assumption that everyone learns the same way (Keefe, 1987). Learning has taken place when we observe a change of learner behavior resulting from what has been experienced. Similarly, we can recognize the learning style of an individual student only by observing his overt behavior. Learning style is a consistent way of functioning that reflects the underlying causes of learning behavior (Keefe, 1987).

12. DLRN -- Our Library At first, it may seem impossible to teach to all learning styles. However,as we move into using a mix of media or multimedia, it becomes easier. http://www.dlrn.org/library/dl/guide5.html

DLRN's Technology Resource Guide Chapter 5: Learning Styles Howard Gardner of Harvard has identified seven distinct learning styles. This theory has emerged from recent cognitive research and "documents the extent to which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways," according to Gardner (1991). According to this theory, "we are all able to know the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. Where individuals differ is in the strength of these intelligences - the so-called profile of intelligences -and in the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems, and progress in various domains." Gardner says that these differences "challenge an educational system that assumes that everyone can learn the same materials in the same way and that a uniform, universal measure suffices to test student learning. Indeed, as currently constituted, our educational system is heavily biased toward linguistic modes of instruction and assessment and, to a somewhat lesser degree, toward logical-quantitative modes as well." Gardner argues that "a contrasting set of assumptions is more likely to be educationally effective. Students learn in ways that are identifiably distinctive. The broad spectrum of students - and perhaps the society as a whole - would be better served if disciplines could be presented in a numbers of ways and learning could be assessed through a variety of means." The learning styles are as follows:

FREE recipes desserts crafts health ideas ... Curriculum Guides "What is the best way to teach my child?" Quick Support Sign Up How much structure do I need? This is a very common question and each parent tries to answer the question in a way to fit their own situation. Here is a very interesting answer to the structure question from a member of our gifted community: David Albert and is partner decided to educate their children outside of school. In an interview with him , he says, The earliest vignettes I recount in Skylark Community Resources We would be experimental rather than prescriptive in approach, listening hard to and trusting our children’s expressions of their needs and desires for learning, rather than being governed by someone else’s narrow conceptions of age- or developmental "appropriateness". From Gifted Member More structure might be the answer as some suggests, but as an unschooler of a 3 yo, 7 yo and 9yo that what works for us is to find things that are of interest to them. My 7 yo daughter was totally uninterested in reading until she developed a love for cooking. She taught herself to read by reading recipes and she taught herself math the same way with a little internet window shopping (comparing prices of toys at different stores and finding the best bargains. She was not allowed to buy the toys of course).

Just as teachers at each successive grade level complain that their students retained very little of what they were taught in previous years, administrators complain that there is very little implementation of what teachers were exposed to during years of staff development. Taylor, et al, (in press) developed auditory, visual, tactual, and kinesthetic (activity-oriented floor games) instructional resources to teach a topic planned for faculty staff development. She then taught that topic to the randomly-assigned teachers by (a) lecturing with supplementary visuals and interactive discussion with the control group (n=39) and (b) assigning resources that best matched individuals'learning styles with the experimental group (n=45).

Learning Styles Here I will discuss learning styles of children and parents. It is divided into 3 parts because it was first presented in my newsletter in 3 segments. If you have any questions or need help finding resources, please don't hesitate to drop me a line! LEARNING STYLES PART 1 Learning styles, what are they and why do they matter? Well that is a good question! The Learning Styles approach to teaching developed as a result of research showing that each child has a specific way in which he/she learns best. Any parent who has more than one child can tell you that no two kids are alike in the same home let alone a whole classroom full! I have 6 children of which are all different. Luckily for me, at least two of them have the same learning style but more on that later. Depending on whom you read, there are three to five different learning styles or teaching styles. Cathy Duffy happens to be whom I tend to agree with the most. She describes 4 different learning and teaching styles. Okay you say, what exactly is a learning style? Is this some new teaching approach like Charlotte Mason or Unit Studies? NO! Then what is it exactly then? Well, first let's say that you will be able to take the information you learn about yourself and your child/ren and apply it to whatever teaching method you prefer. Next let's describe what is a learning style. Here I would like to describe the four main types of learners and the key characteristics for each as Cathy Duffy has so wonderfully done. I want you to read each one through completely before deciding which learning style your child may fall under. Remember that we all will have a little of each of the characteristics, but some will be more dominant than others.

A learning style is the natural way a person gathers and assimilates new information. There are three basic types of learning styles: visual auditory tactile kinesthetic [top] [home] The Learner Each individual has their own favored method of learning. They will attempt to rely on this natural method when confronted with anything new. However all people, except for those with a disability impairing one or more methods of gathering information, can learn in a style different than their favored one. Visual Learners Most people tend to be visual learners. When someone is a visual learner they learn well through reading; viewing pictures and slides; looking at graphs and charts; and other methods involving the sense of sight. [top] [home] Auditory Learners Auditory learners understand best when they are able to experience new things through the sense of hearing. Listening to the tape of a famous speech; singing songs about a subject; and choral reading are some of the ways they enjoy learning. [top] [home] Tactile Kinesthetic Learners A person with who is a tactile kinesthetic learner relies on body movement and/or touch to help them assimilate information. Clapping out rhythms; creating a model; and feeling actual artifacts are a few methods they use to learn.

April 9, 2003 Learning Styles Observe kids playing, interacting, and learning and one thing will become quite obvious – certain kids like to learn things in a certain way while others are more comfortable learning the same thing in another way. The way each individual child prefers to learn is, essentially, that child's learning style. For example, children who love to have stories read to them may differ in their learning style from those who prefer to play with blocks, sing songs, or role-play with other children. At SmarterKids.com, we focus on helping your child learn as effectively as possible. By knowing what kind of approach is best suited to your child, you can create the most meaningful educational experiences and have a lot more fun in the process.
