Why Are Students Struggling? Let's Look at Their Learning Style Inventory

Session 3: 2:15pm-3:45pm (Friday March 01, 2024)

 

Description

This presentation gives participants a hands-on learning experience about their learning style. Participants will take at least three different learning style inventories, be able to interpret how they learn, and be able to apply teaching strategies. Some LSIs may group learning modalities as (1) Auditory (2) Visual and (3) Kinesthetic/Tactile. Other LSIs may expand the list to (1) Reading (2) Writing (3) Listening (4) Speaking (5) Visual and (6) Tactile. Participants will also learn if they are "groupers" or "stringers" and how different teaching strategies could affect learners. Participants will learn how to develop different strategies when presenting information to a class with different types of learners. Participants will have access to the LSIs in the form of an Excel workbook, Google sheet, or paper format (pencil and paper). Participants can use these assessments to determine their students' predominant learning modality.
