• High level of student choice• Student active• Power primarily with student
Case - 1
o You got a new mobile phone. What would you do?o Take it out of the box and fiddle with the pieces before you read any
instructions?
o Read all of the instructions before you attempt to press any buttons?
o Ask someone else to read the instructions and explain it to you or
read the instructions out to yourself aloud?
Case - 2
o You gave a lecture in the class and you see that half of the students have put blank faces. What do you do?
Learner Styles

o Teachers:o Natural inclination towards one’s own learning styleo Understand that Students with different styles learn
& process information differentlyo Apply teaching strategies for multiple learning styles
o Students:o Learn how he/she learnso Use appropriate study methods
Many theories
o Gardner Theory of Multiple Intelligences
o Neil Fleming: VARK
o Variation of a theme – VAK

o Create a learning environment where the student
participates with their learning styles

o Include outlines, concept maps, mind maps, agendas,
handouts, etc. for reading and taking notes
o Student-centeredo Ask students to draw, make posters, create visuals
o Have the learners envision the topic or have them act out
the subject matter
Auditory - Application
o Teacher-centeredo Lectureso Interview with Q&Ao Quiz games
o Student-centeredo Student presents on a subjecto Debateo Peer teaching/learningo Group work

o Student-centeredo Student create experiments, simulations & demoso Role Playo Have them transfer information from text to other medium
To remember...
o A typical classroom will include students with a variety of preferred learning styles
o Lots of learning styles – be a bit familiar with some of the major ones
o Choose a theory that makes the most sense to you, apply it to both you and your students
o One style is not better than the other. Most learners will have a combination of more than one style
o Key to meeting individual students needs is to ensure a variety of learning styles in every lesson
