  2. Incorporating Learning Styles Into Your Teaching

  3. Adult Learning Theory • Adult learners (and probably all learners) learn best through interactive, learner-centered teaching focused on their self-defined learning goals • Understanding your own style of learning and those of others can help you be a more effective teacher Wilkerson LA, Irby DM. Strategies for improving teaching practices: a comprehensive approach to faculty development. Academic Med 1998; 73: 387-396.

  4. What Kind of Learner Are You? • Read each statement and DON’T OVERTHINK IT. • Doing & Watching • Thinking & Feeling • Take the high score from each section to determine your preferred learning style Survey adapted from: http://nwlink.com/~donclark/hrd/styles/learn_style_survey.html

  5. What Kind of Learner Are You? • If you prefer Watching and Feeling then you are a reflector: • They like to view situations from various perspectives. • They like to collect and review data carefully before coming to a conclusion. • If you prefer Watching and Thinking then you are a theorist: • They want to understand the theory behind the action. • Tend to be perfectionists.

  6. What Kind of Learner Are You? • If you prefer Doing and Thinking then you are a pragmatist: • They are eager to try new things. • They need to see how to put their learning into practice. • If you prefer Doing and Feeling then you are an activist: • They are enthusiastic, tend to act first and think later, and learn by doing.

  7. How you learn is based on past learning experiences and preferences • You will learn best by using all four styles, rather than your preferred learning style • Consider this when you are teaching

  8. Incorporating Learning Styles Into Your Teaching • Consider your learner • Would they better respond to one style, or are they a mix? • Whole concepts or details • Text or pictures • Learning by doing or incorporating knowledge before acting • Understand the theory before acting, or just acting

  9. Incorporating Learning Styles Into Your Teaching • Consider your style • It is typically also your predominant teaching style • Being aware of how you learn will open you up to further development as a teacher

  10. Incorporating Learning Styles Into Your Teaching • Expand your comfort zone • Be flexible and responsive to the setting and topic. • Blend materials and methods. • Be an all around learner who adapts to the learning experience. • Be versatile

  11. Staffordshire Teaching Styles • The all-around, flexible and adaptable teacher • Uses many different teaching activities, just as comfortable teaching juniors as they are their peers, very aware of how the environment impacts teachers and learners • The sensitive, student-centered teacher • Prefers small-group teaching, with emotions at the forefront, informal style, uses role play, not comfortable with formal presentations Mohanna et al. Postgrad Med J 2007; 83: 145-147.

  12. Staffordshire Teaching Styles • The official, formal curriculum teacher • Very well-prepared, teaches to the formal curriculum, aware of goals/objectives, follows externally defined rules and guidelines for their teaching sessions • The straight facts, no nonsense teacher • Enjoys teaching well-defined facts, concentrates on specific skills with very straight/clear talking, does not enjoy multi-disciplinary teaching or learning Mohanna et al. Postgrad Med J 2007; 83: 145-147.

  13. Staffordshire Teaching Styles • The big conference teacher • Enjoys being in front of a big audience, prefers this over 1:1 or group teaching sessions • The one-off teacher • Enjoys teaching small portions of information, often ad hoc and in small groups or 1:1, without props or aides. Often little follow-up after teaching Mohanna et al. Postgrad Med J 2007; 83: 145-147.

  14. Take-Home Points • Which Teaching Styles Describe You? • Reflect on your strengths • Think of real-world ways you display these strengths • Capitalize on them! • None of us is just one of these styles • Being aware of how others learn is the key to effective teaching
