1. Learning cycles, model and learning styles: UNIT-III

2. At the end of this session students will be able to: Define learning cycles. Explain the models of Kolb & tayler and how they impact on learning. Enlist types /learning styles. Explain the problem solving and learning cycle. Outlines of the session:

3. A framework, which provides a design for a learning environment. Organization of course documents. Creating opportunities for problem solving. Interconnected learning tasks. Constant feedback. And ongoing change in course delivery. Learning cycle:

4. David Kolb's L earning Model:

5. Learning Definition: The process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Knowledge results from the combination from the grasping experience and transforming it.- Kolb (1984, 41) David Kolb's L earning Model:

6. David Kolb an American psychologist presented the model in 1984. Kolb's proposed learning styles are one of the best-known learning styles theories in practice today. Kolb delivered that our learning styles emerge due to three key influencers: our genetics, life experiences and the demand of our present environment. David Kolb's L earning Model:

7. David Kolb’s theory, The experiential learning cycle:

8. Concrete Experience- (Feeling) a new experience of situation is encountered, or a reinterpretation of existing experience. Reflective Observation- (Watching) any inconsistencies between experience and understanding. Abstract Conceptualization- (Thinking) Reflection gives rise to a new idea, or a modification of an existing abstract concept. Active Experimentation- (Doing) The learner applies them to the world around them to see what results. Four stages of Learning Cycle:

9. Processing Continuum & Perception Continuum: East-West axis Processing Continuum (how we approach a task) North-South axis is called the perception continuum (our emotional response, or how we think or feel)

10. Diverging (Feeling & watching-CE/RO) Diverters’ dominant abilities tend to be Concrete Experience and Reflective Observation. Visualizing the “big picture” and organizing smaller bits of information into a meaningful whole. Creative, emotional, and wells of ideas. Musicians, artists, psychologists, and fine arts. Four Learning cycle Styles:

11. Assimilating (watching and thinking- AC/RO): Assimilators lean towards the areas of Reflective Observation and Abstract Conceptualization. Fascinated abstract ideas. Not concerned with the practical applications of theories. Assimilators often thrive in STEM fields or fields that involve planning and research. Four Learning cycle Styles:

12. Converging (doing and thinking- AC/AE): People with this learning style have dominant abilities in the areas of Abstract Conceptualization and Active Experimentation. Practical application of ideas and tend to do best in situations with a problem that require a singular, ideal solution. Typically use a trail and errors approach. Technical fields or action oriented jobs, such as sales and marketing. Four Learning cycle Styles:

13. Accommodating (doing and feeling- CE/AE): Strong inclinations towards Concrete Experience and Active Experimentation. Tend to rely on others for information than carry out their own analysis. They enjoy putting plans into motion immediately and seeing real time results. Four Learning cycle Styles:

14. Taylor’s Model of the Learning Cycle:

15. First articulated by Marilyn Taylor in 1979, then refined in 1987. Ensure stay focused on moving ahead, rather than getting stuck in the “I’ve made a terrible mistake” self-talk. Pattern of Disorientation, Exploration, Reorientation, Equilibrium. Then, for lifelong learners, a new period of Disorientation as the cycle begins again. Taylor’s Model of the Learning Cycle:

16. Taylor’s Model of the Learning Cycle:

17. Disorientation: Exposure to unfamiliar, challenging state of confusion like new technology, result in anxiety & loss of confidence. Exploration: Able to identify problem, gather information from different sources, develop alternative solution. Reorientation: synthesis & integration of ideas, own ways of learning explored. Other’s facilitation may help. Self as a change agent. Equilibrium: Consolidation, elaboration, refining applying new ideas and skills. Taylor’s Model of the Learning Cycle:

18. Educators should ensure that the activities are designed and carried out in ways that offer each learner the chance to engage in the manner that suits them best. Individuals can be helped to learn more effectively by the identification of their lesser preferred learning style and through the strengthening of these. Teachers should assess the learning style of their students and adapt their classroom methods to best fit each student’s learning style. EDUCATION IMPLICATIONS:

19. Although most people use a combination of the learning styles, they usually have a clear preference for one. Knowing and understanding the types of learning styles is important for students of any age. It is advantageous for students to understand their type of learning style on so that homework and learning may become easier and less stressful in the future. It’s important to practice and train the other types of learning styles early on so that, one can utilize the other types just as effectively. Types of Learning Styles:

20. Visual learner prefer to use picture, images, diagrams, colors, and mind map. Enjoy reading, have good handwriting, are very detail-oriented, are organized, and have keen awareness of colors and shapes. They remember people’s faces better then their names, and they often need to maintain eye contact with a person to concentrate on al conversation. Visual learners often pursue careers such as architecture, engineering, project management or designs. Visual Learning (Spatial):

21. Attributes of the visual learner: Create visual diagram Graphic results of a survey Create a poster Draw a map Create a PowerPoint Create a video Visual Learning (Spatial):

22. The verbal learner is someone who prefers using words, both in speech and in writing to assist in their learning. (notes Taking) They make the most of word based techniques, scripting, and reading content aloud. They learn best by hearing and speaking. More talkative than the average person, are very social, enjoy hearing stories and jokes, understand concepts by taking about them, and may excel in music or the performing arts. Verbal learners often pursue public speaking, writing, administration, journalism or politics. Verbal Learning ( Lenguistic )

23. Attributes of the verbal learner Teach concepts Write instructions Create Adds Keep a journal Re tell experience in won words Teach concept mapping Write a story Verbal Learning ( Lenguistic )

24. People who prefer using sound (obviously), rhythms. music, recording, clever rhymes, and so on. They remember names and recognize tone of voice well, while not always remembering people’s faces. They often hum or sing, and they may whisper to themselves while reading. Aural learners often pursue careers such as musician, recording engineer, speech pathologist, or language teacher, Aural Learning (Auditory/Musical)

25. Attributes of the auditory or aural learner: Write a song Create dance Write a jingle Create a rhyme Aural Learning (Auditory/Musical)

26. These are the “learn by doing”. People that use their body to assist in their learning. Drawing diagrams, using physical objects, or role playing are all strategies of the physical learner. Interested in careers such emergency services, safely representative, physical education, or entertainment (such as acting or dance). Physical Learning (Kinesthetic)

27. Attributes of the physical/kinesthetic learner: Create a game Do an experiment Construct a model Built a representation Create a sport Physical Learning (Kinesthetic)

28. The people who prefer using logic, reasoning, and “systems” to explain or understand concepts. They aim to understand the reasons behind the learning, and have a good ability to understand the bigger picture. Logical learners often towards classifying and grouping information to help them further understand it. Pursue careers in fields such as scientific research, accountancy, bookkeeping or computer programming. Logical Learning (Mathematical)

29. Attributes of the Logical/Mathematical Learner: Create a code make a time line Compare contrast ideas Design a map Show a pattern Teach concept mapping Logical Learning (Mathematical)

30. These people are the ones who enjoy learning in groups or with other people, and aim to work with others as much as possible. Social learners may pursue counseling, teaching, training and coaching, sales, politics and human resources among others Social Learning (Interpersonal)

31. Attributes of social Learner: Hold discussions with others Tell stories/Role play Surveys and interviews others Teach a cooperative game/ team work Mixed up and enjoy social gatherings. Social Learning (Interpersonal)

32. The solitary learner prefers to learn alone and through self-study Their concentration is at its best when focus on thoughts and feelings without the distraction of others. Authors and researchers often have a strong solitary learning style. Solitary Learning (Interpersonal)

33. Attributes of Solitary Learner: Keep a journal Write about personal experience (autobiography) Think about, and plan Reads books Self study. Solitary Learning (Interpersonal)

34. Which type of learner you are?
