Learning Styles
2
Learning style a consistent pattern of behaviour within a range of individual variability
(Cornet, 1983);
a student's consistent way of responding to and using stimuli in a learning environment (Claxton & Ralston, 1978);
how individuals process information and prefer to learn (Garity, 1985);
the way individuals organise information and experiences (Laschinger & Boss, 1984);
a person's characteristic style of acquiring and using information (Haynsake, 1981) and;
an expression of psychological differentiation within characteristic modes of information processing (Witkin & Goodenough, 1971, 1981).
A bit like Harry Potter’s Sorting Hat...

History of Learning Styles
12
Carl Jung Carl Gustav Jung (1875 – 1961) was a Swiss
psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology (also known as Jungian psychology).
Two processes that are important in learning
how we take in information
what we do with the information once it is in our brains
He called the first PERCEPTION and the second JUDGEMENT
13
Carl Jung: Perception Two types of perceivers
those who can only process on sense at a time, i.e. they can look but can’t listen
And those can taken in all senses simultaneously and bring all the sense data together to make a holistic overview
He called the first type of person a SENSOR and the second an INTUITOR
14
Carl Jung: Judgment Two types of judgers
those who can make decisions based on their heart
And those make decisions based on their head
He called the first type of person a FEELER and the second an THINKER

Carl Jung’s Model of Learning Styles
16
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) Designed to measure psychological preferences in how people
perceive the world and make decisions.
These preferences were based on Carl Jung’s ideas
The original developers of the personality inventory were Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers.
Began creating the indicator during World War II, believing that a knowledge of personality preferences would help women who were entering the industrial workforce for the first time identify the sort of war-time jobs where they would be "most comfortable and effective.

Wants to talk through their ideas in order to clarify them.
LEARNS BY TEACHING OTHERS
Gathers information from numerous sources. Likes to reflect and clarify before speaking
CONCERNED WITH THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING
20
Interested in the patterns and relationships between the facts, discovery learning, they try to develop new original solutions
LIKE SIMULATIONS OR EXPERIMENTS
Focus on facts and details. Like structured lectures, guidelines and objectives. Tend to apply standard solutions
CONCERNED WITH WHAT MUST BE KNOWN
21
Subjective in their decision making and consider how their decisions affect others, like small group exercises
OPEN-ENDED CONSTRUCTIVISTIC FORMATS
Reply on analysis, logic and existing principles. Like tests to measure progress.
ANALYSE CASE STUDIES
22
Prefer flexibility and adaptability, often postpone doing work until the very last minute
SEEK INFORMATION UNTIL THE DEADLINE (AND OFTEN BEYOND)
Prefer structure and organisation, appreciate any resources that can help them plan their work
DEADLINES ARE SACRED

Keirsey Temperament Sorter Guardians are sensible, down-to-earth people who are the backbone of
institutions and the true stabilisers of society.
Idealists believe that friendly co-operation is the best way for people to achieve their goals. They dream of removing the walls of conflict and selfishness that divide people
Whatever their field, Rationals set out to comprehend the natural world in all its complexity.
Artisans are most at home in the external world of solid objects that can be made and manipulated, and of real-life events that can be experienced in the here and now.

Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory

Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory Theorists: Like case studies, theory readings, and thinking alone. Their
strengths lie in their ability to create theoretical models.
Pragmatists: peer feedback; activities that apply skills; self-directed autonomous learner. The pragmatist's greatest strength is in the practical application of idea.
Activists: like practising the skill, problem solving, small group discussions, peer feedback; trainer should be a model of a professional, leaving the learner to determine her own criteria for relevance of materials.
Reflectors: like lectures with plenty of reflection time; trainer should provide expert interpretation - taskmaster/guide; judge performance by external criteria. Their strengths lie in an imaginative ability.
