Think About Learning

•There are a variety of

ways to take in and

process information−Infuse different types of activities−Name this at the beginning…(everyone will have equal opportunity to feel uncomfortable!)

Ellen Marshall, Ph.D. & Cathy McAuliffe-Dickerson, Ph.D.

Think About Learning Styles

•The senses:−Visual−Auditory−Kinesthetic

We Remember(average retention after 24 hours)

Focus on the Whole Brain

•Left hemisphere – linear,

sequential, and analytical

(language and logic)

•Right hemisphere –

holistic, visual-spatial

operations (nonverbal,

verbal kinesthetic)

•Incorporate both!

Anthony Gregorc – Perception and Organization of Information

• Two ways to perceive information−Concretely−Abstractly

and read the information

in the Four Learning

Styles Type handout

Analysis
