characteristic, cognitive, affective and psychological
behavior that serve as relatively stable indicators of
how learners perceive, interact with respond to the
learning environment (“creating an Enhanced
Learning”,2001)
b. Dunn and Dunn (2001,p.1) define learning styles as
the way in which the learners begins to concentrate,
process, and retain new and difficult information
(“creating an Enhanced Learning”,2001).
c. Scmeck defines learning style as a
predisposition on the part of some learners to
adopt a particular learning strategy
regardless of the specific demands of the
learning task. (“creating an Enhanced
Learning”,2001)
d. Learning style refers to the preferential way
in which the student absorbs, processes,
comprehends and retain information. For
example, when learning to build a bicycle
some students understand the process by
reading and following the manualof
instruction first, while some students, readily
and immediately get hold of the bicycle parts
and proceed to put them together. Cognitive,
emotional, environmental and prior
experience factors relate to one’s learning
style (“What Teacher Teach, n.d.)

Learning style refers to the unique or
particular way a person approaches learning
and studying.

Individual differences in learning styles can


be explained by heredity (intellectual level)
and upbringing (child-rearing) and
environmental demands (school lessons).
The study of learning styles reveals how
individuals perceive and process
information.

1. Concrete vs Abstract perceivers

Concrete perceivers - absorb


informations through direct experience
by doing, acting, sensing, and feeling
Abstract perceivers - process
information through analysis,
observation and thinking
The study of learning styles reveals how
individuals perceive and process
information.

2. Active vs Reflective processors

Active processors - make sense of an


experience by immediately using the
information
Reflective processors - make sense of
the new information by reflecting on it and
by thinking about it.
The acronym “VARK”
stands for Visual, Aural
or Auditory, Reading &
Writing, and Kinesthetic.
VISUAL
Visual learners understand and retain
information best by seeing. They would
prefer to see information presented in a
visually appealing way, rather than in a
written format.
