Learning Styles, continued Homework: ST - Needs the hw to be modelled in class with practice time provided. The hw must be clear. Students need to restate and write down the hw. NT - Needs the hw to be challenging and curiosity-provoking. NT learners dislike rote and repetitious tasks. NT learners enjoy having to defend a conclusion. SF - Also needs the hw to be modelled in class, but the practice needs to be done in partnerships. SF learners need to ask questions of peers and teacher. NF - Needs the hw to be stimulating and evocative of their creative potential. The hw should ask that existing content be reorganized and applied in creative and original ways. Anticipatory Set: ST - What is to be learned and how they will be tested. The teacher presents the objectives, explains the practice, and sets times for performance. NT - The teacher asks questions that stimulate curiosity or the solving of problems. SF - The teacher tells a story or asks about the learners' experiences that parallel the content. NF - The teacher challenges the learner to make new and original applications. Tasks: ST - True/false, factual, demonstrates sequences, and recitation. NT - Analytical, reasonable, evidential, evaluative, and inferential. SF - Cooperative, emphasize verbal interaction, sharing, and team membership. NF - Looking for alternatives, creative, new applications, artistic, and inventive. Question Style: ST - Who, what, where, when, and sometimes how. How, when it asks to repeat a practiced skill. Focus on accuracy, sequence and demonstrability. NT - How, in the sense of solving a problem, and why. Compare and contrast, evaluate, summarize, induce, deduce, and hypothesize. SF - "What has your experience been?" "How do you feel about ...?" Has to do with feelings, persnoal experiences, self-awareness, and self-concept. NF - "What might have happened if ...?" Also questions that ask to draw, paint, dramatize, invent, alter, and imagine. Assessment: ST - Emphasis on recall, demonstration and accuracy. NT - Emphasis on elegance of the argument, citation of evidence and reasoning process. SF - Emphasis on involvement, articulation of ideas and feelings, and relating content to one's own life. NF - Emphasis on making applications demonstrating deep understanding.
