What are Learning Styles?
Information enters your brain three main ways: sight,
hearing and touch, which one you use the most is called
your Learning Style
 Visual Learners learn by sight
 Auditory Learners learn by hearing
 Tactile Learners (kinesthetic) learn by touch

Learning Styles—an Overview
 Visual – 40% of population.
 Auditory – 30% of population.
 Kinesthetic – 30% of
population.
 NOTE: 100% of population uses a
combination of all three styles listed above.
Most often one type is dominant.

by lecture
 Benefit from using charts, maps, notes, and flash
cards when studying

Auditory Learners
 Prefer to hear information spoken
 Can absorb a lecture with little effort
 May not need careful notes to learn.
 Often avoid eye contact in order to concentrate
 May read aloud to themselves
 Like background music when they study

Tactile or Kinesthetic Learners
 Prefer touch as their primary mode for taking in
information
 In traditional lecture situations, they should write out
important facts
 Create study sheets connected to vivid examples
 Role-playing can help them learn and
remember important ideas
Okay, I
get it
now.

Let’s think this through

Discovering Your
Own Learning Style

Using Knowledge of Your Learning Style
Knowing your learning style, bothyour strengths and
your weaknesses, can help you studymore effectively.

No matter what your Learning Style is it’s very
important to-
 Be involved in class – participate!
 Link classroom experience to the outside world
 Relate class concepts to your own life.
 Ask questions and offer criticism.
 Stimulate further relevant discussion.

 Andragogy is the antonym of pedagogy.
 In pedagogy, the concern is with transmitting the
content,
 while in andragogy, the concern is with facilitating

Adult Learners…
• learn best when they feel a “need to know”
• learn best in a non-threatening & flexible learning
environment
• have life experiences & skills to draw upon
• require a variety of teaching methods to meet
learning needs
• respond to learning when they feel acknowledged
& respected

The Brain as a Dynamic Organ

• Synapse Addition, Experience, and Environment
• Structural Changes Alter Functional Organization
• Learning Literally Involves “Re-Wiring the Brain”
• “Novices” and “Experts”
