what’s your learning style?
My blogging’s been a bit sparse of late as I’m preparing for my presentation this Friday at the Association for Conflict Resolution’s (ACR) Fifth Annual Conference in Minneapolis, MN. In culling and organizing materials for my talk, I’ve thought a lot about reading I’ve done on learning styles. Each of us has an innate preference for learning in a particular way. It’s a reflection of how our brain best takes in and processes new information. The main learning styles are: (1) Visual/Verbal [learn best from material presented visually and in written format]; (2) Tactile/Kinesthetic [prefer to learn by physically manipulating materials and watching demonstrations]; (3) Auditory/Verbal [readily digest information presented orally or through group discussion]. This site and this one will help you evaluate your primary learning style, including the attendant benefits and obstacles you might encounter. If you’ll be at the ACR conference, drop me a line. If you’re interested in going, you can check out the event offerings and register here.
