5. Learning Style Notes

6. Key Terms Pedagogy is the art or science of being a teacher.
The term generally refers to strategies of instruction, or a style of instruction
Learning Styles (according to Dr. Dunn): biologically and developmentally imposed set of personal characteristics that make the same teaching method effective for some learners and ineffective for others.

7. Populations Stats Which style is favored? Visual: 46% Auditory: 19%
Kinesthetic/tactile: 35%
*Most people like a mixture

8. Learning Style Questionnaire
Step One: Read statements If the statement is true about YOU: Circle it.
Step Two: Use the “Learning Style Grid” to record your scores. Place an X in the appropriate category for the items you circled.

9. Visual (spatial). You prefer using pictures, images, and spatial understanding.
Aural (auditory-musical). You prefer using sound and music.
Verbal (linguistic). You prefer using words, both in speech and writing.
Physical (kinesthetic). You prefer using your body, hands and sense of touch.
Logical (mathematical). You prefer using logic, reasoning and systems.
Social (interpersonal). You prefer to learn in groups or with other people.
Solitary (intrapersonal). You prefer to work alone and use self-study.

10. Why Learning Styles? Your preferred styles guide the way you learn
Change the way you internally represent experiences, the way you recall information, and even the words you choose
Learning style uses different parts of the brain
By involving more of the brain during learning, we remember more of what we learn
Brain-imaging technologies find out the key areas of the brain responsible for each learning style

11. Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences
Howard Gardner of Harvard (psychologist) has identified seven distinct intelligences. This theory has emerged from recent cognitive research and "documents the extent to which students possess different kinds of minds and therefore learn, remember, perform, and understand in different ways.”

13. According to this theory, "we are all able to know the world through language, logical-mathematical analysis, spatial representation, musical thinking, the use of the body to solve problems or to make things, an understanding of other individuals, and an understanding of ourselves. Where individuals differ is in the strength of these intelligences - the so- called profile of intelligences -and in the ways in which such intelligences are invoked and combined to carry out different tasks, solve diverse problems, and progress in various domains."

14. 9 identified intelligences:
Interpersonal
Verbal/linguistic
Musical/rhythmic
Logical/mathematical
Bodily/kinesthetic
Existential/spiritual
Intrapersonal
Visual/spatial
Natural

15. Savant Syndrome Gardner used case studies of Autistic Savants
Have severe mental disabilities and thus impaired social skills
Have some extraordinary mental abilities not found in most people
The Savant Syndrome skills involve striking feats of memory and often include arithmetic calculation and sometimes unusual abilities in art or music
Disproportionate regularity with which the triad of blindness, mental disability and musical genius occurs in savant syndrome

16. Some are not autistic, but develop these abilities later on in life usually as a result of some accident, illness or trauma
Some believe that the potential to be a genius is latent in all people but is obscured by normal functioning intellect
In the case of savants, the damage to the brain has somehow disrupted normal functioning and has allowed the brain to access these latent skills.
Savants are generally viewed as having exceptional spatial intelligence but verbal defects.

19. Global vs. Analytical Students

20. Will you check this before I turn it in?
Have you ever asked?
Will you check this before I turn it in?
Why are we doing this?
Should I use a pen or pencil?
When is this due?
Does spelling count?
Do we have to do this?
Will this be on the test?

21. Let’s do a quick “inventory”
Global vs. Analytical
Let’s do a quick “inventory”
Get out a scrap piece of paper
Write your first and last name
Put pen or pencil in your “other” hand- write first and last name again
Column A
Column B
Left Brain:
Logical
Analytical
Verbal
Right Brain:
Creativity
Imagination
Intuition
So… what do you think you are?!

22. Global Learner
Global learners need to understand concepts before they start concentrating on the details.  Endless facts tend to bore them and they lose interest fast.  They understand things better when they are introduced to them through short stories, illustrations, humor, or anecdotes.  Globals like to learn by being actively involved with information that is interesting and related to their lives.
Children who prefer soft light and informal seating such as an easy chair, bed, or lying on the carpet, are likely to be global learners.  Having the TV on or music playing should not be cause for alarm.  Such things actually help global learners by creating an environment that feels comfortable. 
Group studying is popular with global learners.  They may find it more fun and interesting when solving problems with others.  It’s not unusual for globals to work on several tasks simultaneously, taking frequent breaks in between.  Snacking while working is also part of the global learning style.

23. Analytic Learner
Analytic learners follow a more conventional pattern.  They prefer to concentrate on a series of facts that move toward a gradual understanding of an overall concept.  Having information introduced in a step-by-step approach enables children with analytic styles to learn best. 
Children who like to work sitting at a desk, under a bright light, and in quiet surroundings are likely to be analytic learners.  They tend to concentrate for long stretches at a time without taking breaks or snacking, preferring to work alone on a single task until it is completed.

24. Global vs. Analytical TEAM UP! Global vs. Analytical
What do you like in school? Dislike?
How can teachers accommodate you in the classroom? Alternative assessments?
