What we see, hear, taste, touch, smell and do gives us a selection of ‘pathways to learning’. At its simplest, this means three ways to learn: by listening, by seeing and from experience, known as auditory, sensory and kinaesthetic learning. There is an assumption that much traditional teaching has undervalued the power of sensory and kinaesthetic learning, an imbalance which learning outside the classroom can effectively address. Young people are intensely curious and will always take the opportunity to explore the world around them More intricate is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator which defines personal styles and describes learning styles by contrasting a range of attitudes: extroversion v. introversion, sensing v. intuition, thinking v. feeling, judging v. perceiving.
