INTRODUCTION TO

LEARNING STYLES
introduction

• Today we are going to:

• complete a questionnaire to see how we learn.

• learn about different learning styles.

• discuss activities which will help students learn better.

• discuss the implications for teaching practice


• Someone with a Visual learning style has a
preference for seen or observed things, including
pictures, diagrams, demonstrations, displays,
handouts, films, flip-chart, etc. These people will
use phrases such as ‘show me’, ‘let’s have a look
at that’ and will be best able to perform a new
task after reading the instructions or watching
someone else do it first. These are the people
who will work from lists and written directions and
instructions.
• Someone with an Auditory learning style has a
preference for the transfer of information through
listening: to the spoken word, of self or others, of
sounds and noises. These people will use
phrases such as ‘tell me’, ‘let’s talk it over’ and
will be best able to perform a new task after
listening to instructions from an expert. These are
the people who are happy being given spoken
instructions over the telephone, and can
remember all the words to songs that they hear!
• Someone with a Kinaesthetic learning style has a
preference for physical experience - touching, feeling,
holding, doing, practical hands-on experiences. These
people will use phrases such as ‘let me try’, ‘how do you
feel?’ and will be best able to perform a new task by going
ahead and trying it out, learning as they go. These are the
people who like to experiment, hands-on, and never look
at the instructions first!

Implications for classroom
• Identify students learning styles
• Learning styles in the activities: gather material for each
learning style, stories, pictures, video clips, songs, objects
to manipulate
• Organise the activities having in mind learning styles
• Allow different students to perform different activities or
include many activities to include all learning styles
Benefits
• Students learn better and more quickly if the teaching
methods used match their preferred learning styles.

• As learning improves, so too does self esteem. This has a


further positive effect on learning.

• Students who have become bored with learning may


become interested once again.

• The student-teacher relationship can improve because the


student is more successful and is more interested in
learning.
