Continue with The Learning Styles🤓👆🏻

Let's continue with our class 📝📒

Learning styles refer to a range of competing and debunked theories that aim to account for differences in individuals' learning. 

Many theories share the proposition that humans can be classified according to their ''style''of learning, but differ in how the proposed styles should be defined, categorized and assessed.

In this class we talked a little about David Kolb's model.

David A. Kolb's

David A. Kolb's model is based on his experiential learning model, as explained in his book Experiential Learning.

Kolb's model outlines two related approaches toward grasping experience: Concrete Experience and Abstract Conceptualization, as well as two related approaches toward transforming experience: Reflective Observation and Active Experimentation.

According to Kolb's model, the ideal learning process engages all four of these modes in response to situational demands; they form a learning cycle from experience to observation to conceptualization to experimentation and back to experience. In order for learning to be effective, Kolb postulated, all four of these approaches must be incorporated. As individuals attempt to use all four approaches, they may tend to develop strengths in one experience-grasping approach and one experience-transforming approach, leading them to prefer one of the following four learning styles:

Accommodator = Concrete Experience + Active Experiment: strong in "hands-on" practical doing (e.g., physical therapists)

Converger = Abstract Conceptualization + Active Experiment: strong in practical "hands-on" application of theories (e.g., engineers)

Diverger = Concrete Experience + Reflective Observation: strong in imaginative ability and discussion.

Assimilator = Abstract Conceptualization + Reflective Observation: strong in inductive reasoning and creation of theories.

Kolb's model gave rise to the Learning Style Inventory, an assessment method used to determine an individual's learning style. According to this model, individuals may exhibit a preference for one of the four styles—Accommodating, Converging, Diverging and Assimilating—depending on their approach to learning in Kolb's experiential learning model.

Peter Honey and Alan Mumford's Model

Peter Honey and Alan Mumford adapted Kolb's experiential learning model. First, they renamed the stages in the learning cycle to accord with managerial experiences: having an experience, reviewing the experience, concluding from the experience, and planning the next steps. Second, they aligned these stages to four learning styles named:

1. Activist
2. Reflector
3. Theorist
4. Pragmatist

Also during class we do a small test on What's your learning style according to Kolb?

And these were my results

Then, on Thursady class I left work late but we still met with my group to agree on the activity evaluated for the following week📚🤓
