STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

  1. Ask tutors why it is important to understand the concept that we all have different ways of learning. Note their ideas on the flip chart. Bring out the following points:
    • No one way is the right way.
    • We all have a preferred learning style.
    • It’s important we understand our own learning styles.
    • It’s important we understand our learners’ preferred learning styles.
    • It’s important we know about the variety of learning styles so we can plan effective lessons.
  2. Explain that the rest of the workshop will focus on two basic learning style theories and the role culture has on learning.


During learning, adults’ brains are constantly trying to retrieve information or skills that they may have learned in grade school or high school to expand on information they are trying to learn now.
