Learning styles

Learning style is an individual's natural or habitual pattern of acquiring and processing information in learning situations. A core concept is that individuals differ in how they learn.[1] The idea of individualized learning styles originated in the 1970s, and has greatly influenced education.[2] Proponents of the use of learning styles in education recommend that teachers assess the learning styles of their students and adapt their classroom methods to best fit each student's learning style. Although there is ample evidence for differences in individual thinking and ways of processing various types of information, few studies have reliably tested the validity of using learning styles in education.[2] Critics say there is no evidence that identifying an individual student's learning style produces better outcomes.

Dreyfus model of skill acquisition In the fields of education and operations research, the Dreyfus model of skill acquisition is a model of how students acquire skills through formal instruction and practicing. Brothers Stuart and Hubert Dreyfus proposed the model in 1980 in an influential, 18-page report on their research at the University of California, Berkeley, Operations Research Center for the United States Air Force Office of Scientific Research.[1] The original model proposes that a student passes through five distinct stages: novice, competence, proficiency, expertise, and mastery. The original five-stage model[edit] Michael Eraut summarized the five stages of increasing skill as follows:[2] Instead the original Dreyfus model is based on four binary qualities: Recollection (non-situational or situational)Recognition (decomposed or holistic)Decision (analytical or intuitive)Awareness (monitoring or absorbed) This leads to five roles: 1.

Four stages of competence In psychology, the four stages of competence, or the "conscious competence" learning model, relates to the psychological states involved in the process of progressing from incompetence to competence in a skill. History[edit] The Four Stages of Learning provides a model for learning. It suggests that individuals are initially unaware of how little they know, or unconscious of their incompetence. Several elements, including helping someone 'know what they don't know' or recognize a blind spot, can be compared to some elements of a Johari window, although Johari deals with self-awareness, while the four stages of competence deals with learning stages. The four stages of competence[edit] Unconscious incompetenceThe individual does not understand or know how to do something and does not necessarily recognize the deficit.

Khan Academy 4 Benefits To Cloud-Based Learning As learning becomes increasingly digital, access becomes increasingly important. The Flipped Classroom, for example, requires technology that only a few years ago would’ve been considered dramatic. Broadband access, CPU speed and graphics processing, multi-media production in terms of sound, image, and film, and other innovations have placed significant demands on the technology industry. Of course, as an industry grounded in business principles, it has been too eager to respond. Among those most under-appreciated of those responses has been the “cloud.” 4 Benefits To Cloud-Based Learning 1. 2. 3. 4. While not all is perfect in the clouds–privacy issues, for example–it remains an important leap in digital learning that is still evolving. The following infographic from onlinecolleges.net further explores the ins and outs of “going to the cloud.” In the comments, we’d love to hear about your experiences–in terms of challenges and successes.
