learning styles
What are the learning styles
reading/writing
information best when it’s in words, whether that’s by writing it down or reading it. To them, text is more powerful than any kind of visual or auditory representation of an idea.
logical analytical
analytical learners depend on logic and analytical skills to understand a particular subject. These types of learners search for connections, causes, patterns, and results in their learning.
auditory
individuals who learn better when they take in information in auditory form when it is heard or spoken.
social/linguistic
favor educational lessons that include peer work or participation. Social/ linguistic learners get two things out of this participation: socializing (which they love) and a better understanding of a subject.
visual
individuals who prefer to take in their information visually—be that with maps, graphs, diagrams, charts, and others..
solitary
Solitary learners prefer to study alone without having to interact with other learners.
nature
excel when in contact with nature. A nature learner’s ideal study environment is a calm and relaxing environment.
Kinesthetic
individuals who prefer to learn by doing. They enjoy a hands-on experience.
how to cater to each styles
logical analytical
posing questions that require interpretation, using material that activates problem-solving skills and stimulating students to reach conclusions based on facts or reasoning.
reading/writing
it would be best to have them describe charts and diagrams by written statements, take written quizzes on the topics, or give them written assignments.
auditory
information is presented to them via strategies that involve talking, such as lectures and group discussions. They can benefit from repeating back the lessons, having recordings of the lectures, group activities that require classmates explaining ideas, etc.
kinesthetic
through personal experience, practice, examples, or simulations. For instance, they can remember an experiment by recreating it themselves.
visual
by showing them the relationship between different ideas visually. For instance, when explaining a scientific process, it can be done by using a flow chart.
social/linguistic
using role-playing, group activities, and encouraging student interaction (asking questions, sharing stories, etc.).
solitary learners
using activities that require individual work (including keeping a diary) and problem-solving skills, recognizing a student’s individual accomplishments, etc.
nature learner
assigning hands-on activities, having classes outdoors when possible, and using nature examples when explaining a new lesson.
