DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
Some would say I have a slightly distant, unruffled air about me...
I prefer to collect my own data and think about things thoroughly before drawing conclusions...
I prefer to stand back to ponder experiences and
observe them from many different
perspectives
I prefer to be sure of things!
Theorist
I act first and consider the circumstances later…
I enjoy integrating
observations into complex but
logical theories
I tend to tackle a problem by
brainstorming.
I like to try out new ideas, theories and techniques to see if they work in practice
I act quickly and confidently when an idea attracts me
When I learn something new I am really keen to try it out and to teach others about it!
I think problems through in a logical, step by step way
My philosophy is... if it's logical, it's good!
Reflector
My philosophy is... it's good to be cautious!
Pragmatist
My philosophy is... there is always a better way!
Activist
I love to be involved in new
experiences!
Innovative teaching strategies for student‐centered learning: Utilising Honey & Mumford’s Learning Styles.
Anita Hamilton Deakin University
Australia
Using Learning Styles to enhance students’ learning experiences
At commencement of OT course students complete a “learning style inventory”.
Students meet the others in their group who have the same learning style
preference.
Students then move to small work‐groups which comprise the four learning styles.
Students stay in work‐groups for the semester & complete a group work
activities together.
Students complete a reflection journal on working with people with different
learning styles.
