This document discusses different learning styles including visual, auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, imaginative, analytic, common sense, and dynamic learners. It describes the key characteristics of each style - for example, visual learners best acquire information through sight, while kinesthetic learners prefer activities involving their whole bodies. The document also briefly introduces the concepts of active learning and how it engages students as active participants in the learning process through activities like games and role play.

LEARNING STYLES
• Learning was defined as a change in beliefs,
attitudes, or behaviors due to experiences.
• As students go through the experience of
being asked, they gain more insights about topics and develop their own capacities to reason and respond. According to Kolb and Kolb (2005), learning style describes individual differences in approaches to or ways of learning.
A person’s learning style is a biologically and
developmentally imposed set of personal characteristics that make the same teaching method effective for some and ineffective for others. VISUAL LEARNERS
Visual learners best acquire new
information by sight.
Show-and-tell approach.
They wants demonstrations and
assignments rather than mere topic discussions.
Visual learners often ignore verbal
directions or fi nd them uninteresting. AUDITORY LEARNER
Auditory learner, on the other hand, needs to
hear content explanations. He/She appreciates and learns faster through songs and stories. He/She also fi nds it easier to learn through sounds.
TACTILE LEARNER
A tactile learner learns best by manipulating
materials. He/She requires experimentation and hands-on activities to learn well. He/She needs to touch, feel, and experience. KINESTHETIC LEARNERS
Kinesthetic learners like They
prefer activities that involve their whole bodies. Learners like him prefer dramatizations, pantomimes, and fi eldtrips. They may often be restless in class. Role-playing and interactive games are good strategies to help them learn. McArthey (Kellough, 1994) described four other categories of learning styles based on patterns of perceiving situations and processing information, namely:
IMAGINATIVE LEARNERS. They
perceive information concretely and process it refl ectively. They learn well by listening to and sharing with others while integrating others’ ideas with their own experiences. They often have a difficulty with traditional teaching approaches. Analytic learners: They perceive information abstractly and process it refl ectively. They prefer sequential thinking, require details, and value what experts have to offer. They do well in traditional classrooms. Common sense learners: They process information abstractly and actively. They enjoy practical and hands-on learning. They often fi nd school frustrating because they do not see an immediate use for learning. Dynamic learners: They provide information concretely and process it actively. They prefer hands-on learning and get excited with new concepts and ideas. They like taking risks. Activities that are tedious and sequential frustrate them. • ACTIVE LEARNING refers to dynamic teaching and learning, which engages learners as active participants in the teaching-learning process. • Teacher and students learn by doing, performing, and reflecting on insights gained from specific activities such as fun games, simulations, role play, introspection, and the like.
