  1. Sherfield and Moody Cornerstones Topic: Learn

  2. What is Learning? • A cognitive mental action • Can be conscious and/or unconscious • Can be formal or informal

  3. Historical Learning Theories • Socratic method (Socrates): • Learning by dialogue • Dialectic method (Plato): • Learning by asking questions • Active learning (Lao-Tse): • Experience-based learning • Case study (Confucius): • Storytelling and discussion

  4. Historical Learning Theories (cont’d.) • Sensory learning (Locke): • Our five senses fill our “blank slate” • Learning styles (Rousseau): • Learning should follow our basic instincts, feelings • Behaviorism (Watson): • Learning through conditioned response • Holistic learning (Piaget): • Learning through experiencing a variety of stimuli • Mastery learning (Bloom): • Transforming information to new, complex ideas

  5. The Learning Process • Motivation to learn the material • Understanding the material • Internalize the material • Apply the material • Evaluate the material • Use the material to grow and change

  6. Three Ways to Determine How You Learn • What are your dominant intelligences? • What is your learning style? • What is your personality type?

  7. Theory of Multiple Intelligences • Professor Howard Gardner (1983) • Eight intelligences everyone possesses • Not equal to traditional I.Q. measurement • Dominant intelligences are more well-developed • Other intelligences less-developed

  8. Eight Areas of Intelligence • Visual/spatial – “picture smart” • Verbal/linguistic – “word smart” • Musical/rhythmic – “music smart” • Logical/mathematical – “number smart” • Body/kinesthetic – “body smart” • Interpersonal – “people smart” • Intrapersonal – “self smart” • Naturalistic – “environment smart”

  9. Learning Styles Theory • How do you best process information? • Three styles: • Visual – “eye smart” • Auditory – “ear smart” • Tactile/kinestetic – “action smart”

  10. Keeping it all Straight • Learning style = how you best process information • Learning strategy = how you choose to study • Dominant intelligence = well-developed aspect of intelligence • Personality type = your preferences and patterns

  11. Personality Typing • Carl Jung (1921) and Isabell Briggs-Myers and Kathernine Briggs (1942) • Human behavior is not random and patterns are caused by individual motivation and energies • Four major categories of personality

  12. How Do You Draw Your Energy? • Extroverts (E)– draw strength others and prefer to live in the outside world. Outgoing and love interaction and being the center of attention • Introverts (I) – draw strength from their inner world. Need alone time to energize. Often quiet and reflective. Make decisions by themselves and are private

  13. How Do You Best Learn Information? • Sensers (S) – gather information through five senses. Like concrete facts and details. Have common sense. Focused on “what is” • Intuitives (N) – not as detail-oriented. Rely on gut feelings. Innovative and see possibilities. Focused on “what could be”

  14. How Do You Make Decisions? • Thinkers (T) – logical people. Analytical and do not make decisions based on emotion. Can sometimes be seen as insensitive and lacking compassion. Make decisions with head v. heart • Feelers (F) – like harmony and consider others’ opinions and feelings. Usually tactful and warm. Make decisions with heart v. head

  15. How Do You Prefer to Live Your Life? • Judgers (J) – orderly people who prefer structure in their lives. Good at setting goals and sticking to them. Work before play. • Perceivers (P) – less structured and more spontaneous. Overextend themselves and do not like timelines. Play before work.

  16. Sixteen Personality Types • ISTJ – “the dutiful” • ISFJ – “the nurturer” • INFJ – “the protector” • INTJ – “the scientist” • ISTP – “the mechanic” • ISFP – “the artist” • INFP – “the idealist” • INTP – “the thinker” • ESTP – “the thinker” • ESFP – “the performer” • ENFP – “The inspirer” • ENTP – “the visionary” • ESTJ – “the guardian” • ESFJ – “the caregiver” • ENFJ – “the giver” • ENTJ – “the executive”

  17. Topic Reflections • Get involved in a variety of learning and social situations • Use your less dominant areas in order to strengthen them • Read more about personality typing and learning styles • Surround yourself with others who learn differently than you • Try new ways of learning and studying • Remember that inventories do not measure your worth as an individual or student
