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.
I think all students learn and process information a little different. With that being said this coarse gives you a understanding of how to reach each student.
Knowing about learning styles may help me understand and explain the differences I observe among my students.
There are many different learning styles and it is important to adapt teaching styles to meet as many different learning styles as possible in order to reach a broader audience and ensure that most of the students are comprehending the material being delivered/taught.
It is important to include a variety of style to stimulate students. This method can also hit primary and secondary preferences for many students - thus layering learning!
I totally agree that every student is different and understanding the students' learning style is beneficial in teaching. To be able to develop a wide range of teaching strategies helps build on the students' strength given their dominant learning style.
10-15 percent increase when students learn from their primary learning method
One approach I've found helpful is to start with my own preferred learning style and build around it by incorporating aspects to deliberately touch on the other learning styles.
All of the different learning styles should be represented in your classes.
While there are many learning styles and it is proven that a student can accel better with their chosen style, it is also a good idea to group them and combine different styles. This allows them to experience different styles and see things from multiple angles.
Learned better understanding of the different learning styles and how to teach the information.
I like the idea of grouping learning types together as well as peer learning
Understanding different learning styles greatly articulate or approach the lesson or lecture in different ways depending on my students or audience.
ED103: This course provided the context and allowed me to gain an understanding on the four predominant learning styles and how to address each within the classroom to ensure maximum delivery of the course content. As a visual and kinesthetic learner, understanding how better to deliver material in the auditory and written styles is important as an adult educator.
