Kolb – Experiential learning
• Experiential learning focuses on the learning process for the individual.
• It focusses on learning occurring as a cyclical process.
• The learner must move through all four stages to learn.
• All learners will have a preference for one or more stages.
VARKPreferences NOT Strengths
• Visual
• Aural
• Reading/Writing
• Kinesthetic
(VARK inventory developed in 1987 by Neil Fleming, Lincoln University, New Zealand)
Honey and Mumford learning styles
Building on Kolb’s theory, H&M state that learning styles are categorised as:
•Activist•Reflector•Theorist•Pragmatist
Activists
• The here and now• Just do it• Jump in at the deep end• Have a go• Act without thinking it through• Don’t like preparation• Get bored easily
Reflectors
• Take time to think it through• Consider all angles and implications• Listen to others• Uncomfortable in unplanned situations• Need information to work on• Dislike deadlines
Theorists
• Logical• Rational• Analytical• Objective• Perfectionist• Restricted lateral thinking• Don’t like uncertainty• Don’t like subjectivity
Pragmatists
• Does it work in practice?• Like linking the theory to the problem• Like to tackle it straight away• Enjoy coaching and feedback• Don’t like open ended discussions• Need clear guidelines• Need immediate reward
Why learning styles
Tailoring your teaching style to the learner’s learning style
AND
All learning styles are important for developmental learning
