Learning Styles : Felder and Soloman Model

The above are my results from completing a 44-question questionnaire.

The results show that I have an active, intuitive and visual learning style.  It also shows that I am balanced in the sequential and global learning style areas.

I learn best by

• doing and trying to see how it works,
• discovering possibilities and relationships,
• using diagrams, sketches, photos, concept maps and colour codes.

Everyone would end up having varied results for their learning style.  As our learning would be at either end of the following specturms, or well balanced in between

• Seeing and hearing,
• Reflecting and acting,
• Memorising and visualising, and 
• Drawing analogies and building math models

In order for learning to be effective for all students, we need varied teaching methods.  One could lecture, demonstrate or discuss a particular subject; the focus could be on principles or application.  In that way, the learner is allowed for reception and processing of information in their best learning style.
