about learning styles and how to useyourself in the most efficient way

WHAT IS LEARING STYLES?

Learning styles are the way in which each individual learner begins

to concentrate on, process, absorb, and retain new and difficult

information.

Learning styles, thus, are the most important tool for us when we

construct knowledge. Most people havent got the faintest idea about their learning styles

profile, and people are often somewhat embarrassed about the way

they actually act when studying: They dont find it in keeping with

good student behavior.

The right way of studying, however, does notexist. Everybody learns in his individual way, but without knowing this

way, i.e. without knowing your preferences, you cant learn efficiently

sometimes you cant learn at all.

WHAT IS LEARING STYLES?

There are quite a few learning styles concepts.

We have chosen a theory developed by Rita and Ken

Dunn and a test developed by Rita Dunn and Susan

Rundle.

This test, Building Excellence, offers you

your learning styles profile,

an array of strategies and pieces of good advice that can help

you learn efficiently.

In the following presentation, the individual parts of thetests will be presented in order for you to understand the

scope and the aims of the concept.


4/34

DONT FORGET

There are nogood and nobad learning styles.

All profiles are totally equal.

Your profile is relatively stabilethus, it is not going tochange radically, and should changes occur, it will be in

cycles of 2-3 years. NetDanskis organized according to learning styles.

The exercises exploit the various sensoric modalitiesifpossible.

And besides that, you must exploit the knowledge the testhas imparted to you.

Use the feedback you get after you have taken theBuilding-Excellence test.

Learning and Productivity Style (LPS)

Profile report, which includes:

A one-page summary;

Narrative descriptions of ones preferences;

Recommended strategies; and

A personal development plan to help peoplecreate individualized learning solutions.

assimilate and process

information best when it ispresented sequentially and

GLOBALS

assimilate and

process informationbest when humor and

metaphors are used andthey need to understandthe concept before thedetails make sense.

INTEGRATED

PROCESSORS

use both the Analytic

and Global dimensionsinterchangeably. Personswith this preference oftentake on the role of aninterpreter because theycan easily translate whatthe Analytics and Globalsare saying.

Reflective / ImpulsiveImpulsive learners

prefer less detail whenmaking decisions and

solving problems.

When taken tothe extreme, impulsivepeople want others to

be brief, be bright,

and be gone!

Reflective learnerstake time to weightheir options beforemaking decisions

and solving problems.

When taken tothe extreme, thisapproach leads toanalysis paralysis!
