Objectives The purpose of this presentation is to review the three general preferences for learning as well as the differences between left-brain dominant and right-brain dominant thinking.

Introduction Learning preferences can be usually grouped into three types Visual learners Auditory learners Kinesthetic learners

Introduction The three types of learning preferences correspond with 3 of the 5 senses Visual--sight Auditory--hearing Kinesthetic--touch

Introduction Although related to a particular sense (i.e. visual = sight), this does not mean that the learner learns only “visually”. It means that for a visual learner, seeing what has to be learned provides the best opportunity to understand, retain, and apply the information.

Introduction The same applies to the other types of learners Auditory learners learn best when they “hear” information being presented Kinesthetic learners learn best when they can try something “hands on”

Introduction In truth, if a learner has all 5 senses in tact, all of them will be used to learn. However, for some individuals, one of the senses usually is predominant and most helpful for learning.

Visual Learners Visual learners learn best by Observing a process or task Reading instructions, diagrams, or charts Watching a movie/seeing a picture

Visual Learners A visual learner may respond to new information with visual statements “I can see what you are saying” “I see your point” “The way I see it is…”

Visual Learners Visual learners generally indicate that these types of statements are most like them. I learn best when I see information. I like pictures and illustrations. Visual aids and books help me learn. If I can see it, I understand it better. I pay attention to details.

Auditory Learners Auditory learners learn best by Participating in a discussion Listening to a lecture Using audio cassettes

Auditory Learners An auditory learner may respond to new information with auditory statements. “If I heard you right, you are saying…” “I hear you” “It sounds to me like…”

Auditory Learners Auditory learners generally indicate that these types of statements are most like them. I learn best when I hear the information. I like to listen to tapes and hear stories. I like listening to music. If I say it, I can remember it. I am a talkative person.

Kinesthetic Learners Kinesthetic learners learn best by Role-playing Working directly (hands-on) with actual items Participating in demonstrations

Kinesthetic Learners A kinesthetic learner may respond to new information with touching statements. “I need to get a grip on this information” “I feel like…” “I want to work hands-on with this tool”

Kinesthetic Learners Kinesthetic learners generally indicate that these types of statements are most like them. I learn best when I can work hands-on. I love taking things apart/putting together. I like working on models. I use a lot gestures and movement.

Left or Right Brain The brain is generally separated into two halves, left and right, when it comes to a preferred method of learning. For most people, one or the other side is the most dominant affecting how they learn.

Left Brain Individuals who are left-brain dominant learners are characterized by: Being logical, rational, analytical Enjoying specific, precise, structured learning experiences Preferring graphs, charts, reading, programming, demonstrations Liking a ordered, organized, quiet environment

Right Brain Individuals who are right-brain dominant learners are characterized by: Being intuitive, imaginative, abstract Enjoying informal, busy, unstructured learning Preferring group discussions, role play, simulations, games Liking a noisy, active, music filled and somewhat disorganized (messy) environment

Summary There are three types of learning styles that indicate a particular sense with which a learner learns best Visual learners learn best by seeing information Auditory learners learn best by hearing information Kinesthetic learners learn best by working hands-on with information

Summary Right-brain dominant learners learn best through creative, abstract types of approaches. Left-brain dominant learners learn best through logical, procedural types of approaches.
