2. Dr. Asa Grant Hilliard III (1933–2007)Dr. Asa Grant Hilliard III (1933–2007) - American educational psychologist,
historian, and professor.
- A. Hilliard describes "Learning Style" as
the sum of the patterns of how
individuals develop habitual ways of
responding to experience

3. LEARNING/THINKING STYLESLEARNING/THINKING STYLES- Refer to the preferred way of an individual processes
information. This describe a person's typical mode of
thinking, remembering or problem solving.
- There are several perspectives about learning-thinking
styles. We shall focus on Sensory Preferences and The
Global-Analytic Continuum.

SENSORY
PREFERENCES These learners must see
their teacher's actions
and facial expressions to
fully understand the
content of a lesson.
VISUAL LEARNERSVISUAL LEARNERS
Ri Charde further breaks down
visual learners into:• VISUAL-ICONIC• VISUAL-ICONIC
- These learners are more interested in
visual imagery such as film, graphic
displays, or pictures in order to solidify
learning• VISUAL-SYMBOLIC• VISUAL-SYMBOLIC
- These learners are comfortable with
reading, writing, and abstract visual
symbols to understand concepts.

5. SENSORY
PREFERENCES
SENSORY
PREFERENCES They learn best through
verbal lectures. discussions,
talking things through and
listening to what others
have to say. AUDITORY LEARNERAUDITORY LEARNER
Auditory learners also fall into two
categories:• THE LISTENERS• THE LISTENERS
- Learners who understand and
remember information primarily by
listening carefully. • THE TALKERS• THE TALKERS
- They are the ones who prefer to talk
and discuss. They often find themselves
talking to those around them.

6. SENSORY
PREFERENCES
SENSORY
PREFERENCES They understand information
more effectively when they
are physically engaged in the
learning process. They may
find it hard to sit still for long
periods. TACTILE/KINESTHETIC
LEARNER
TACTILE/KINESTHETIC
LEARNER Types of Kinesthetic Learners: • TACTILE LEARNER• TACTILE LEARNER
- Tactile learners prefer to use their
sense of touch when learning.• WHOLE-BODY (KINESTHETIC)
LEARNERS
• WHOLE-BODY (KINESTHETIC)
LEARNERS
- These learners prefer to use their entire
body movement in the learning process.

7. GLOBAL ANALYTIC CONTINUUMGLOBAL ANALYTIC CONTINUUMStudents who learn best
by focusing on details,
rules, and step-by-step
instructions. ANALYTICANALYTIC GLOBALGLOBAL Students who learn best
by understanding the big
picture first, then
connecting the details to
the overall concept.

8. GLOBAL ANALYTIC CONTINUUMGLOBAL ANALYTIC CONTINUUM- Several theorists have tied the global-analytic
continuum to the left-brain/right-brain continuum.
- In accord with Roger Sperry's model, the left-brained
dominant individual is portrayed as the linear (analytic),
while the right-brained person is one who is viewed as
global, non-linear and holistic in thought preferences.

9. LEFT BRAINLEFT BRAIN RIGHT BRIANRIGHT BRIAN • Analytical and Logical – good at
problem-solving, numbers, and
reasoning.

and rules.
