1 Honey and Mumford – based on the work of Kolb
Learning Styles Honey and Mumford – based on the work of Kolb

2 Activists “here and now” gregarious, seek challenge and immediate experience, open minded, bored with implementation!

3 Activists Learn best: new experiences, problem solving, challenge and change Work in teams, role playing, puzzles, competitions, brainstorming, chairing/leading Learn less well: lectures or long explanations. Following precise instructions, absorbing data on their own

4 Reflectors “stand back”, gather data, ponder and analyse, delay reaching conclusions, listen before speaking, thoughtful

5 Reflectors Learn best:
Observe others, opportunity to review what happened, producing analysis and reports Paired discussions, feedback from others, coaching, observing activities Learn less well: Leaders or role players, being rushed, tight deadlines, deep end learning

6 Theorists Think things through in logical steps, assimilate disparate facts into theories, rationally objective, reject subjectivity and flippancy

7 Theorists Learn best: Structured situations with clear purpose, chance to question/probe ideas Models, statistics, quotes, background info, applying theories Learn less well: Situations that emphasise emotions and feelings, unstructured activity, poor briefing, doing things without knowing principles/concepts

8 Pragmatists Seek and try out new ideas, practical, down to earth, enjoy problem solving and decision making, quickly bored with long discussions

9 Pragmatists Learn best:
Immediate opportunities to implement what learned, link between topic and job, model they can copy, try out with feedback Case studies, problem solving, discussion Learn less well: No apparent pay-back to learning, “all theory” event, no practice or guidelines, insufficient reward perceived

10 However…. The evidence is poor – maybe works best as a lens
Learners should learn in all modalities Beware of teaching only in your own preferred style
