  10. History of Learning Styles

  11. Carl Jung • Carl Gustav Jung (1875 – 1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist, an influential thinker and the founder of analytical psychology (also known as Jungian psychology). • Two processes that are important in learning • how we take in information • what we do with the information once it is in our brains • He called the first PERCEPTION and the second JUDGEMENT

  12. Carl Jung: Perception • Two types of perceivers • those who can only process on sense at a time, i.e. they can look but can’t listen • And those can taken in all senses simultaneously and bring all the sense data together to make a holistic overview • He called the first type of person a SENSOR and the second an INTUITOR

  13. Carl Jung: Judgment • Two types of judgers • those who can make decisions based on their heart • And those make decisions based on their head • He called the first type of person a FEELER and the second an THINKER

  14. Carl Jung’s Model of Learning Styles Sensing Thinking Feeling Judgement Perception Perception Intuiting

  15. Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) • Designed to measure psychological preferences in how people perceive the world and make decisions. • These preferences were based on Carl Jung’s ideas • The original developers of the personality inventory were Katharine Cook Briggs and her daughter, Isabel Briggs Myers. • Began creating the indicator during World War II, believing that a knowledge of personality preferences would help women who were entering the industrial workforce for the first time identify the sort of war-time jobs where they would be "most comfortable and effective.

  17. MBTI Extraversion E Introversion I Intuition N Sensing S Feeling F T Thinking Perceptive P J Judging

  18. Wants to talk through their ideas in order to clarify them. LEARNS BY TEACHING OTHERS Extraversion MBTI E I Gathers information from numerous sources. Likes to reflect and clarify before speaking CONCERNED WITH THEIR OWN UNDERSTANDING Introversion

  19. Interested in the patterns and relationships between the facts, discovery learning, they try to develop new original solutions LIKE SIMULATIONS OR EXPERIMENTS Intuition MBTI N S Focus on facts and details. Like structured lectures, guidelines and objectives. Tend to apply standard solutions CONCERNED WITH WHAT MUST BE KNOWN Sensing

  20. Subjective in their decision making and consider how their decisions affect others, like small group exercises OPEN-ENDED CONSTRUCTIVISTIC FORMATS Feeling MBTI F T Reply on analysis, logic and existing principles. Like tests to measure progress. ANALYSE CASE STUDIES Thinking

  21. Prefer flexibility and adaptability, often postpone doing work until the very last minute SEEK INFORMATION UNTIL THE DEADLINE (AND OFTEN BEYOND) Perceptive MBTI P J Prefer structure and organisation, appreciate any resources that can help them plan their work DEADLINES ARE SACRED Judging

  22. Other Learning Styles Models

  23. Keirsey Temperament Sorter Guardians Idealists Artisans Rationals

  24. Keirsey Temperament Sorter • Guardians are sensible, down-to-earth people who are the backbone of institutions and the true stabilisers of society. • Idealists believe that friendly co-operation is the best way for people to achieve their goals. They dream of removing the walls of conflict and selfishness that divide people • Whatever their field, Rationals set out to comprehend the natural world in all its complexity. • Artisans are most at home in the external world of solid objects that can be made and manipulated, and of real-life events that can be experienced in the here and now.

  26. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory

  27. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory • Theorists: Like case studies, theory readings, and thinking alone. Their strengths lie in their ability to create theoretical models. • Pragmatists: peer feedback; activities that apply skills; self-directed autonomous learner. The pragmatist's greatest strength is in the practical application of idea. • Activists: like practising the skill, problem solving, small group discussions, peer feedback; trainer should be a model of a professional, leaving the learner to determine her own criteria for relevance of materials. • Reflectors: like lectures with plenty of reflection time; trainer should provide expert interpretation - taskmaster/guide; judge performance by external criteria. Their strengths lie in an imaginative ability.
