Learning is a very personal thing. We need to understand that there are different types of learners and we can help them by understanding their style and then tailoring education accordingly. Visual or auditory both have many ways we can use to accommodate our students.
Find ways to group students so each type uses their own style in a group effort. Much like a workplace that flourishes when it identifies the strengths of individual workers for group efforts.
From this module, I learned that there are different learning styles, and when students are taught with approaches and resources that complement their unique learning styles, their achievement is increased.
It is essential for all individuals involved in the learning/teaching process to understand the best way to transfer knowledge, skills, and abilities. This will guarantee a successful learning experience.
I want to find as assessment so that I can know how each of my students learns best. That way, if they are having difficulty I can 1:1 work with them using their preferred style
Combining learning styles makes it easier for teaching the whole class and getting everybody's attention.
I learned that it is important to identify my own learning style as an instructor and consider if I am using a variety of styles as I teach. I am learning how to vary my instruction and incorporate ways to differentiate learning to accommodate different styles.
I learned the types of learning styles.
I know at the start of each term each class we discuss and find out what type of learner they really are. It is amazing how many students really don't know but it is also very satisfying when you can help them find out! It has worked for many years and hopefully for many more!
Comment on Marcus Hernandez's post:
Using all the learning styles to reach 100 percent of the class is key.
The different styles of learning is nothing new but learning that a student can score 10-15% higher if you teach their preferred learning style was eye opening. I think its also important to know that while everyone has a different learning style sometimes you wont be able to accommodated all students. But as long as you are an effective teacher it shouldnt have a big impact on student learning and performance.
Presenting information to students across a wide range of learning styles reinforces the information that is delivered to each learner. Auditory, Visual, Kinesthetic, and Written word learners each have a different perception of the information, but if each category is considered, the information may be learned by all.
We need to diverse our styles of teaching to make ourselves clear and for the class to understand better because not all of the students learn the same way.
I learned the main learning styles, what is needed to cultivate those styles, and how, as an instructor/teacher, fostering an all-inclusive learning environment is best approach
I enjoyed this presentation and will utilize the message. I also think that learning styles aren't always discrete, and it remains important to find innovative teaching methods that provoke interest, and/or evoke emotion that intrigue the learner's triaging subconscious brain - that actually determines what data is to be processed and subsequently stored for later use. In addition, consider that this could vary minute by minute for the individual based on their earlier day/mood/energy level/sleep quality/commitment/experience etc. and the learner may not remain in, or be in any particular category.
Recognizing not just learning styles and preferences in myself, but also within a student body will help with instructional delivery and variety of styles in presentation
This course helps me to understand there are multiple ways to learn and to present the material for learning.
It's helpful to remind myself to ensure that I teach outside of my learning style and do it for the students. Sometimes I forget to focus on visual learning since it's not my strength or I disregard an image or graphic when I need to make sure that all the different types of content flow together.
Any group of students will present multiple learning styles. I have to be cognizant of these various styles and tailer my instruction to satisfy all of them. By doing this, I improve my ability to teach effectively.
