Learning Styles Are How We Learn, by Ken Rohrer I am a fan of Gregorc's Learning Styles. I see the styles he identifies in everyone- students and teachers alike. Gregorc writes about individual styles of learning and personality.
Teachers typically have a tougher time teaching to students on the opposite spectrum of learning styles. I am between an abstract/random and concrete/random. I have the most difficult time teaching to concrete/sequentials. I have to force myself to give directions in a detailed, structured and sequential order.
Each learning style has a weakness. Teachers would do well to be aware of not only their own weaknesses, but those of their students. The table below illustrates the weaknesses well. Gregorc's Learning Styles CONCRETE SEQUENTIAL This learner likes: • order • logical sequence • following directions, predictability • getting facts They learn best when: • they have a structured environment • they can rely on others to complete this task • are faced with predictable situations • can apply ideas in pragmatic ways What's hard for them?
The primary purpose of the studies was to examine the relationship between the Gregorc Style Delineator and Kirton's adaptive-innovative distinction. Minitab 17 for mac. The structure and internal consistency of the Style Delineator were also examined. Two samples (N = 109, N = 135) were given the Style Delineator and the Kirton Adaption-Innovation Inventory. Results showed that the Style Delineator's sequential types and random types (irrespective of concreteness or abstractness) were KAI adaptors and innovators, respectively. Factor analysis of responses to the Style Delineator revealed several orthogonal factors, although factor-items were dispersed among the subscales. Cronbach's alphas indicated that the KAI was reliable, but the alphas for the Style Delineator's 4 subscales ranged from.23 to.66.
