Learning styles a. Visual - The visual learner takes mental

pictures of information given, so in order for
this kind of learner to retain information, oral
or written, presentations of new information
must contain diagrams and drawings,
 Characteristics of learners

preferably in color. The visual learner can't

concentrate with a lot of activity around him
and will focus better and learn faster in a
quiet study environment.
b. Kinesthetic - described as the students in the
classroom, who have problems sitting still
and who often bounce their legs while
tapping their fingers on the desks. They are
often referred to as hyperactive students with
concentration issues.
c. Auditory- a learner who has the ability to
remember speeches and lectures in detail but
has a hard time with written text. Having to
read long texts is pointless and will not be
retained by the auditory learner unless it is
read aloud.
d. Activist - Learns by having a go
e. Reflector - Learns most from activities where
they can watch, listen and then review what
has happened.
f. Theorist - Learns most when ideas are linked
to existing theories and concepts.
g. Pragmatist - Learns most from learning
activities that are directly relevant to their
situation.
Other needs a. Financially challenged
b. Working student
c. Solo parent
