Zhenhui - Matching Teaching Styles With Learning Styles In East Asian Contexts (
The way we teach should be adapted to the way learners from a particular communitylearn.
http://iteslj.org/Techniques/Zhenhui-TeachingStyles.html

Extractions: Foreign Languages College, Jiangxi Normal University (Nanchang, China) Liu Hong, a third-year English major in Jiangxi Normal University, China, was in David's office again. After failing David's oral English course the previous year, Liu Hong had reenrolled, hoping to pass it this year. Unfortunately, things were not looking promising so far, and she was frustrated. When David asked why she was so unhappy in his class, she said: "I am an introverted, analytic and reflective student. I don't know how to cope with your extroverted, global and impulsive teaching style?" Jenny, an American teacher from California, sat in Dean's office again, feeling perplexed by the students' negative responses to her kinesthetic and global styles of teaching. Despite Jenny's persistent efforts to convince the students of the advantages of her teaching styles, she was told by her Vietnamese colleagues that her attempts were in opposition to the prevalent teaching styles in Vietnam. Jenny had specialized in applied linguistics for a long time and was well trained in the TESOL area in U.S.A. But all of a sudden, it seemed that all her teaching competence and experience had become useless in such a country where she had never been before. The above statements are representative of serious mismatches between the learning styles of students and the teaching style of the instructor. In a class where such a mismatch occurs, the students tend to be bored and inattentive, do poorly on tests, get discouraged about the course, and may conclude that they are not good at the subjects of the course and give up (Oxford et al, 1991). Instructors, confronted by low test grades, may become overtly critical of their students or begin to question their own competence as teachers, as exemplified by the Jenny's case above.
Center For The Study Of Autism

http://www.autism.org/styles.html

Extractions: Center for the Study of Autism, Salem, Oregon 'Learning styles' is a concept which attempts to describe the methods by which people gain information about their environment. People can learn through seeing (visually), hearing (auditorily), and/or through touching or manipulating an object (kinesthetically or 'hands-on' learning). For example, looking at a picture book or reading a textbook involves learning through vision; listening to a lecture live or on tape involves learning through hearing; and pressing buttons to determine how to operate a VCR involves learning kinesthetically. Generally, most people learn using two to three learning styles. Interestingly, people can assess their own interests and lifestyle to determine the ways in which they obtain much of their information about their environment. In my case, when I read a book, I can easily understand the text. In contrast, it is difficult for me to listen to an audiotape recording of that book I just cannot follow the story line. Thus, I am a strong visual learner, and a moderate, possibly poor, auditory learner. As far as kinesthetic learning, I am very good at taking apart objects to learn how an object works, such as a vacuum cleaner or a computer. Based on my experience as well as those of my colleagues, it appears that autistic individuals are more likely to rely on only one style of learning. By observing the person, one may be able to determine his/her primary style of learning. For example, if an autistic child enjoys looking at books (e.g., picture books), watching television (with or without sound), and tends to look carefully at people and objects, then he/she may be a visual learner. If an autistic child talks excessively, enjoys people talking to him/her, and prefers listening to the radio or music, then he/she may be an auditory learner. And if an autistic child is constantly taking things apart, opening and closing drawers, and pushing buttons, this may indicate that the child is a kinesthetic or 'hands-on' learner.
Lesson Tutor : Learning To Learn In Order To Teach

http://www.lessontutor.com/LTLearning1.html

Extractions: My first foray in to an organized field of education was when I was sixteen and looking for a great summer job. The only aptitude I had ever shown was my ability to swim and be beaten competitively by my little brother, consistently. So, out of the water and humiliation I swam; into courses that would lead to the entry requirements for lifeguarding and teaching swimming. My brother could keep the fame, I was aiming for a fortune, or at least minimum wage. Some of the methods of teaching we were expected to learn in Instructor's training were very simplistic but effective: children learn one of two ways: traditionally (that is tell, demo, practice, test) or by 'discovery' ('Oh, look. Johnny floats when I let go'). Later in life, I took more courses in Adult Education. It thrilled me to learn that adults, unlike children, were self motivated and self directed and to underestimate those factors would surely doom any presentation to failure. One of the challenges that an instructor would face was to effectively use the individuals' backgrounds and strengths as both starting points and building blocks to facilitate their quest for knowledge, both individually and as a group. Another was to 'teach to the majority' without isolating the minorities- the very bright or the too slow. Another enlightened moment occurred while doing a distance ed course in Psychology. The assignment schedule started off with... a crossword puzzle? Surely this was an error. Not only was the task fun, but, it was stressed, it was open book! I wanted to sign up for every course that professor taught! This didn't feel like effort at all. But was I learning? My marks said I was.
Learning Style - Matching How Your Child Learns And Teachers Teach
Is it more important for your child to receive academic preparedness at childcare or to simply have fun? There are different learning styles in care
http://childcare.about.com/od/childlearning/

Extractions: See Online Courses Search Child Care Teaching approaches and educational learning style philosophies differ among providers and educators. Some centers focus on academic preparedness and learning essentials while others ensure kids are safe and happy in various types of play. Which style works for you and for your child?

What Are Learning Styles Anyway? Understanding learning styles can help parents and providers with their child's learning. The three most basic learning styles are essentially seeing, speaking and doing. But there's more to learning styles than just that. From Crib to Classroom: Learning Styles Are Revealed Early Child experts suggest that children reveal their particular learning style in the first few months of life.

Chapter 6. Teaching Learning Styles And Multiple Intelligences To Students
Another way to teach students about the four learning styles is to have them Develop a lesson plan for teaching learning styles to an elementary school
http://www.ascd.org/ed_topics/2000silver/chapter6.html

Extractions: Chapter 6. Teaching Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences to Students Many teachers who use learning styles and multiple intelligences in their classrooms wonder how important it is for students to know about these models. Experience has taught us that students who understand the models are better able to understand their own learning profiles, to develop flexibility and adaptability in their thinking, and to set realistic goals about minimizing learning weaknesses and maximizing strengths. In fact, research on the importance of metacognitive thinking supports the notion that instructional approaches that help students reflect on their own learning processes are highly beneficial to their overall learning and tend to stimulate motivation to improve as learners (Brown, 1989; Marzano et al., 1988). Barb Heinzman of Geneva, New York, led her students through the following hands-on "Apple" demonstration to teach them about perception and judgment:
HOW STUDENTS LEARN, HOW TEACHERS TEACH, AND WHAT GOES
The goal is NOT to match each students preferred learning style with a rather it is to present a variety of teaching styles to all learners.

Extractions: This is the archived SLL site. The Stanford Learning Lab completed its work in the spring of 2002. At its founding in early 2002, The Stanford Center for Innovations in Learning (SCIL) inherited the Learning Lab's core capabilities in technology development, educational program evaluation, and learning design and will continue to perform research in these areas. Folks: At the recent NSF sponsored, New Century Scholars Workshop, held on August 2-7, 1998 at Stanford University, Richard M. Felder , professor of chemical engineering at North Carolina State University presented the results of some of the very interesting work he and his colleague, Rebecca Brent have been doing on student learning styles. Here is my summary of his remarks (based in part on his handouts and on the reference at the end of this message.)

Extractions: This is a very common question and each parent tries to answer the question in a way to fit their own situation. Here is a very interesting answer to the structure question from a member of our gifted community: David Albert and is partner decided to educate their children outside of school. In an interview with him , he says, The earliest vignettes I recount in Skylark Community Resources More structure might be the answer as some suggests, but as an unschooler of a 3 yo, 7 yo and 9yo that what works for us is to find things that are of interest to them. My 7 yo daughter was totally uninterested in reading until she developed a love for cooking. She taught herself to read by reading recipes and she taught herself math the same way with a little internet window shopping (comparing prices of toys at different stores and finding the best bargains. She was not allowed to buy the toys of course).

Student Diversity, Teaching Undergraduates, ITA Handbook
There appears to be a relationship between student learning styles and the subjects with student learning styles while teaching a statistics course.
http://www.oic.id.ucsb.edu/TA/ITA/teach.diverse.html

Extractions: One of the most effective ways to deal with student diversity within group instruction is to vary teaching methods. Instruction can be varied within one class session and from session to session. Some students learn easily via auditory methods and others via visual or kinesthetic means. A TA who is aware of these different modes of learning can help students learn more efficiently and effectively. For example, the TA can give an explanation (auditory model), show slides depicting the subject or draw a diagram of what was explained (visual mode), and then have students use the information by asking them to solve a problem, give an example of how to apply the concepts explained, summarize the explanation, or physically manipulate equipment (kinesthetic mode). Another way to vary instruction is to vary the use of inductive and deductive teaching methods. In the deductive approach, students are given information and then asked to perform a task or answer questions based on the information given. In the inductive approach (sometimes called the discovery approach), students are asked to perform a task (e.g., draw a diagram, solve a problem or answer a question) before they are given information about the task. Explanations can be given after students either discover how to do the task or discover that they are unable to perform the task. For some students, explanations are more meaningful once they have had some experience in working with or thinking about a particular idea or concept.

Student Learning And The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
These preferences result in 16 learning styles, or types. We illustrate theATA approach using discovery learning in teaching the central limit theorem
http://www2.gsu.edu/~dschjb/wwwmbti.html

Extractions: This file discusses briefly (1) the four dimensions underlying the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and (2) several teaching approaches that will appeal to different MBTI profiles. The 126 item Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Form G, is the most reliable method for assessing student learning style. The MBTI provides data on four sets of preferences. These preferences result in 16 learning styles, or types. A type is the combination of the four preferences. The most common MBTI type for business undergraduates is the ESTJ, the Extraverted-Sensing-Thinking-Judger. The MBTI instrument should be administered in the first or second class period by the counseling center at your school. It takes about 45 minutes to complete the instrument. The counseling center can score the MBTI and share the data with the students. Students enjoy learning about themselves and find the MBTI data informative. This preference tells us how people "charge their batteries." Introverts find energy in the inner world of ideas, concepts, and abstractions. They can be sociable but need quiet to recharge their batteries. Introverts want to understand the world. Introverts are
REACHING THE SECOND TIER: LEARNING AND TEACHING STYLES IN COLLEGE SCIENCE EDUCAT
Discusses the study conducted by Sheila Tobias about two groups of science studentsthat are separated by personal math class experience.
http://www.ncsu.edu/felder-public/Papers/Secondtier.html

Extractions: In her recent study of college science instruction, Sheila Tobias [19] defines two tiers of entering college students, the first consisting of those who go on to earn science degrees and the second those who have the initial intention and the ability to do so but instead switch to nonscientific fields. The number of students in the second category might in fact be enough to prevent the shortfall of American scientists and engineers that has been widely forecast for the coming decade. The thrust of Tobias's study is that introductory science courses are responsible for driving off many students in the second tier. The negative features of the courses she cites include their (1) failure to motivate interest in science by establishing its relevance to the students' lives and personal interests; (2) relegation of students to almost complete passivity in the classroom; (3) emphasis on competition for grades rather than cooperative learning; and (4) focus on algorithmic problem-solving as opposed to conceptual understanding. Recent educational research provides theoretical support for Tobias's assertions, which are based largely on anecdotal accounts. The research shows that students are characterized by significantly different

http://www.ncsu.edu/felder-public/Learning_Styles.html

Extractions: Students preferentially take in and process information in different ways: by seeing and hearing, reflecting and acting, reasoning logically and intuitively, analyzing and visualizing, steadily and in fits and starts. Teaching methods also vary. Some instructors lecture, others demonstrate or lead students to self-discovery; some focus on principles and others on applications; some emphasize memory and others understanding. This site contains resources for a model of learning styles generally referred to as the Felder-Silverman model. The model was originally formulated by Dr. Felder in collaboration with Dr. Linda K. Silverman, an educational psychologist, for use by college instructors and students in engineering and the sciences, although it has subsequently been applied in a broad range of disciplines. The Index of Learning Styles is a self-scoring questionnaire for assessing preferences on four dimensions of the Felder-Silverman model. R.M. Felder and L.K. Silverman
