Group learning can be powerful blending different learners together in the group. The different learners will bring different approaches to the question being answered. As we are teaching, we need to cover the different learning styles, so each learn can learn the tasks. Also, each person may better understand their learning styles.
I never thought about the learning styles when placing students in groups. I think this is important especially when looking past personalities.
It is very important to know and have the ability to identify a students learning style. It will help as a Teacher, and Instructor guide them during your time with the student.
I also learned and now understand the true meaning of each learning style
I really like the idea that learning styles are a combination of cognitive, emotional, and motivational factors that come together to form a process that helps students to learn.
I know from my own experience that I'm a visual and hands on learner. In my classroom I want to include everyone, so I use different learning methods. I would like to prep my class with more options with learning going forward as everyone learns so differently. I also learned that teaching the student their preferred method of learning can improve their grade by 10 percent.
I have learned that as an instructor, The more teaching styles you can master, the more successful you will be at reaching both career students and low to average learners.
Instructional Delivery and Assessment
- Learning style affects how a person: acts in a group a, learns, participates in activities, relates to others, solves problems, shares information, works and even deals with stress.
- Learners are affected by tendencies and preferences such as environment, emotional, sociological and physical aspects.
- There are different strategies for visual, written word, auditory and tactile/kinesthetic learners.
- while auditory and written word learners make up most of the populations learning style, my challenge will be incorporating interesting visual effects and providing ways to incorporate MOVEMENT/tactile action within classroom learning.
Every lesson should have a little of every learning style incorporated into it. This helps all students regardless of their learning style but also introduces them to the idea of learning in other styles as well which will help for their future career as a technician.
I appreciated the idea of pulling a student aside after class and praising them for their engagement and comments in class.
It was amazing lesson learned. After taking the course I know what kind of learner I am. I am sure there are many more great things we will learn in the turotial.
Amazing to know various learning styles. It was such a Eye opener.
When engaging the students in discussion or physical(Lab) participation, it not only engages the two students involved but tends to create a class discussion. This also is a way of the students introducing themselves to each other. I find it's a win all around. I love to see students learning from each other.
Using diverse curriculum delivery such as lecture, handouts, videos, hands on activities and problem-solving tasks will help instructors to reach every preferred learning style.
This module is a reminder that students are not only different culturally, but also their ability to learn, understand and retain information. You must determine who learns in what format and then roam the classroom and address the students in a format that will serve them best.
each student has a different learning style and they benefit from different types of teaching methods
This module reminded me that students can engage with and process information in different ways, and that relying on only one method of instruction may not work well for everyone. I intend to apply this by varying how I present information and giving students opportunities to see, hear, discuss, and practice new concepts. In my CTE classroom, this is especially important because students are learning both technical information and hands on skills. I can demonstrate a process, provide written or visual instructions, and then give students an opportunity to apply what they have learned through a project. This gives students multiple ways to engage with the material while still keeping the learning objectives consistent.
Knowing the difference between the different learning styles and what styles your learners prefer will help them better understand the concepts taught. I plan on learning my student's styles and designing lesson plans around that to better reach them.
I learned that students have different preferred styles of learning and that it is important to use a n equal mix of these styles to insure everyone is grasping the information
This module helped me to understand that students learn in different ways. As an instructor it is really important to identify these needs and try different methods to reach each student.
I appreciate the opportunitites of learning for all learning styles and this can be most effective to reach all students mind.
