What are some different types of learning styles?
450650
there are three main types of learning styles- audio, visual and kinaesthetic. audio learners learn through listening (music, talking, debates etc). visual learners learn through seeing (films, disgrams and demonstrations etc) and kinaesthetic learners learn through doing things. they learn from fieldtrips, activities that involve them doing a hand on approach. hope this helps x

Revision practices are really most dependent on the way you retain information the best. There are 4 basic learning styles: Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic; these are commonly abbreviated as VARK. \nPlug VARK into google and you'll probably find loads of links explaining about it. What you are looking for, firstly, are VARK questionnaires. Take a few and compare the results.\n\nSome people learn exclusively one way and find dealing with other ways difficult. Some can get their information a variety of ways; this is called multimodal. If you are multimodal, it is probably wise to use a variety of methods from all the modes you identify with.\n\nFor visual learners: "Maps" are your friends. Word maps, timelines, charts, diagrams, etc are mentioned at the source site. I would like to add color coding to that. I generally use it to show a difference of some kind, like cause and effect, or different perspectives in history. Even drawing may help. Converting a page of writing into a picture may come in handy if you can think of the picture and remember the needed information.\n\nFor aural learners: Communicate with fellow students. Discuss your ideas and impressions of the subject matter. "Teach" someone who doesn't know much about it. The more you communicate the better you are likely to understand. If all else fails, convert your notes into speech with a tape recorder; make the information sound interesting and noteworthy. Give emphasis to tone of voice. You might even go so far as to set your notes to music.\n\nFor read/write learners: Repetition is key. Write and read the information over and over again. Take your teachers lecture and write it in your own words. If there is any visual material, write the information out in sentences. Also re-read any texts you have and make up lists to help you organize things better.\n\nFor kinesthetic learners: Yours is the realm of not only the body, but the imagination. Think of examples that stand out in your mind. Recall anything you have picked up with all your senses. If possible, try to act through something. "Teaching" somebody else the subject matter might also fall under this heading. Ask your teacher if they could provide test questions so you can "practice" taking the exam, or come up with and answer questions you think might be included.

Here are some real brief summaries (somewhat over simplified).  There are many sites that will explain them in more details.  I especially recommend Isabelle Myers book Gifts Differing.\n\nExtroverted:  Likes processing information out loud with others.\nIntroverted:  Likes processing information alone.\n\nIntuitive:  Prefers knowledge gained through intellectual processes.\nSensing:  Prefers knowledge gained through the 5 senses.\n\nThinking:  Prefers thinking objectively, about facts.\nFeeling:  Prefers thinking subjectively, about people and relations.\n\nJudging:  Prefers making decisions based on information received.\nPerceiving:  Prefers the process of obtaining the information.

There are very good study tips already listed here. There are methods for different subjects and styles of learning. But one thing you might want to consider is how you learn. Are you a visual, auditory, kinetic, or mixed learner. If you are a visual learner here are some tips:\n- use graphic organizers (charts, maps, diagrams, etc.) to organize the information.\n- use pictures either in your head or drawn out. For example, If my students were studying culture, they might draw a bedroom with a poster of an artist on the wall, a shelf with books by famous authors, a cd player with cds of various musicians, etc. \n- use color. Perhaps you could put the major battles of one war in one color and another war in a different color. In foreign languages, try irregular verbs in red, regular verbs in green; Masculine objects in blue, feminine in pink, etc. \n\nIf you are an auditory learner try these tips:\n- have some one read it to you or read aloud and record it for play back at any time.\n- put it to music \n- say the important information aloud\n- put the information in story form (have fun with this: add voices, sound effects, accents, etc.) and tell someone \n\nIf you are a kinetic learner try this:\n- make up actions for important terms\n- act out or role play scenes and events\n- some of my students have made up cheers\n- just move around and find natural actions to match the concepts.\n\nMix and match - \nmake up songs with actions and picture the scenes in your head while you sing.\n\nMake it fun for yourself. I get bored easily. When I study I have to be creative and put it all in simplest form. Some of these things take time to do put you are learning and thinking the whole time. try the links below for more help.

I'm not sure if it has a name but the current trend is to teach "skills for lifelong learning". The idea is to get kids to "learn how to learn" so I guess that involves searching for resources, exploring what kind of information is out there, evaluating information critically, integrating information etc.

Characteristics of Learning\n1)Learning is unitary means that the knowledge people have and their learning unites them.\n2) Learning is indivuidual and social means that there are some ways where we must learn things on our own, and there are some ways that we learn things in groups or with the help of others.\n3) Learning is self-active means that learning makes itself happen--the world in general will never stop learning\n4) Learning is puposive means there's a reason for learning/it's not pointless\n5) Learning is creative means that learning can happen through many different and at times unique methods\n6) Learning is transferable means that what you know you can teach or show someone else.\n\nPrinciples of Learning:\n1) For someone to learn something, someone else must know the gaps in their knowledge.  In other words, the teacher needs to determine what the student/client does not know.\na) Learner asks a question\nb) Indirect ways\n    - Observation---you can see that someone cannot do something, like a young child cannot tie his or her shoes, so that's what needs to be taught\n    - Tests--having the learner take a survey or test to see what knowledge is present and what is not.\nMost other "indirect ways" fall under those two categories.

Figure out HOW you learn best.  I learn best by organizing information into visual charts, tables, and other images.  My best use of time is creating and compiling the information that I am studying into this form.  It is also easier for me.  Other people learn easier by making sound representations of material, songs poems, chants.\nMake your methods of studying more interesting and the material will be easier to remember, according to your best way of receiving information.

DIfferentiated Instruction simply means employing different instructional techniques for each type of learner.  It does not mean a classroom of 25 to 30 different plans, it means looking at the learning styles and levels and trying to address them within a lesson.  You use visual, oral, aural, kinesthetic and concrete teaching techniques so that learners are taught to their strengths.  DIfferentiated instruction should not be confused with individualized instruction which is tailoring lesson plans to each student who has an IEP.

Any class that you think you can learn without being in a class. So something you probably know already.

People learn in many different ways.  You can learn by hearing the information (auditory), seeing the information or demonstration (visual), manipulating or "doing" (kenisthetic), etc., or a combination.  If you are interactive, you are hitting on many different learning styles at once - and you remember the information better.  People learn better by doing something rather than just being told about it....

There are two basic knowlege/ability types.\nThe so called book learning, where you learn all the information, and the practical, which is where you actually can use the knowlege and put it to work.\nFor example, you may have all the knowlege to be a surgeon, but if you can't do an operation without errors, then you have no practical ability

Oh my, there are so many.  What aspect of education do you mean?  Do you want to know about standards, testing, reading skills, technology, special education, learning disabilities, bullying, achievement, conseling, teaching jobs, tutoring, school districts, math, mainstreaming, activities for elementary students, IEPs, science fair topics, homework help for your kids, high school, university entrance requirements, and the list goes on.  See what I mean??\n\nI would suggest you think aobut exactly what it is you want to find out about in education, and then do a search for that specifically.\n\nInthe meantime I've attached a few websites that might help you.  I hope this makes sense to you.
