whne the learner is receptive to learning

what the learner needs to learn

as gaps in the knowledge that exist between a desired level of performance and the actual performance

·         Occurs when the learner is receptive to learning and willing to to be able to participate in the learning process

·         The time when the learner demonstrate an interest to learning the type or degree of information necessary to maintain optimal health or to become more skillful in the is job

cognitive ability

anxiety level

level of aspiration

motivation

gender

frame of mind

learning disabilities and styles

measure ability

locus of control

·         Refers to the ways individuals process information

more concerned with abstract ideas than people, very good in inductive reasoning, creating theoretical models; and integrating ideas and actively applying them; LOGICAL thinking.

Believes that knowledge is transformational process that continuously created and recreated

Believes that learning is a continuous process grounded in the reality that the learner is a blank state

impatient with other people; a risk-taker, often use- trial & error, acts more on intuition, instinct rather than LOGIC; works best with “HAND-ON”; an ACHIEVER

LEARNS BEST through LECTURES, ONE-TO-ONE INSTRUCTION, READING MATERIALS/SELF-INSTRUCTION

LEARNS BEST through GROUP DISCUSSION & BRAINSTORMING SESSIONS.

LEARNS BEST through DEMONSTRATION-RD, by hand outs, diagrams, charts, illustration.

LEARNS BEST through ROLE PLAYING, GAMING & COMPUTER SIMULATIONS

·         people & feeling oriented; likes to work in groups to gather information, listening with an open mind; learn best when allowed to observe and collect.

works better when given practical application/concept; prefers experimenting with new ideas, simulations, lab assignment

learns by AC & CE

relies heavily on CE and AE

stresses CE and RO

stresses AC and RO

He is internationally recognized for his work in learning styles which began in 1969 with the introduction of his Energic Model of Styles.

Cycle of Learning

4 types of readiness to learn

4 set of dualities

learners are holistic thinkers and need consistency in the learning environment; do not like interruptions; have good verbal skills.

think holistically, learn a lot from visual stimuli; prefer busy, unstructured learning environment; focus on personal relationship.

learners like highly structured, quite learning environments without interruptions

intuitive, trial- and – error methods of learning, looks for alternatives

the way one arranges and systematizes incoming stimuli in a continuum or scale ranging from sequence to randomness which affects the way a person learns

the way one receives or grasp incoming information or stimulus in a continuum ranging from abstractiveness to concreteness

use their intuition

a theory specific to children’s learning styles

Calculations, Problem solving, logical reasoning and analysis, statistic

Reading, writing, speaking

Involves both side of the brain

Arts, crafts, maps, geometry, design

Appreciation, vocal instrumental, composition and rhythm

Broca’s area in the left side of the brain

Right side of the brain

Found in the right side of the brain

Basal ganglia and cerebellum and other structure

Journaling, personal assessments, reflections, goal setting, progress reports

Prefrontal lobes

Athletics, dance, acting, manual dexterity, exercise

Community service, role playing, conflict resolution, leadership, teamwork
