B.Student’s Learning Style
C.Theory of Multiple Intelligences

3. Definition and theories of learning
Behaviorism
Ivan Pavlov – Classical
Conditioning
B.F. Skinner – Operant
Conditioning
John B. Watson
Edward Thorndike -
Connectionism

4. •Abraham Maslow

Definition and theories of learning

5. Definition and theories of learning
Cognitive Approach
Cognitive Learning Theories
includes:
•Gestalt Psychology – Insight Theory
•Edward Toleman – Purposive
Behaviorism
•Albert Bandura – Observational
Learning; and
•Jean Piaget – Theory of Cognitive
Development

6. Student’s Learning Style
What is a “learning style”?
• “The way that he or she
concentrates on,
processes, internalizes,
and remembers new and
difficult information or
skills”.
–Dr. Rita Dunn, St. John’s
University

7. • “Characteristic cognitive,
affective, and physiological
behaviors that serve as
relatively stable indicators of
how learners perceive,
interact with, and respond to
the learning environment”.
–James W. Keefe
Student’s Learning Style
What is a “learning style”?

8. Student’s Learning Style
Learning Style - In Simple
Terms
Conceptual
Understanding
• Children learn
through a
combination of
these elements:
– Physiological
– Cognitive
– Affective

9. Physiological Elements
• Physiological elements are
primarily biologically-based and
vary depending on the learner’s
reaction to the physical
environment.
–Environmental Elements
–Emotional Elements
–Sociological Elements
–Physical Elements.
Conceptual
Understanding

10. Cognitive Elements
• Brain Dominance
• Conceptual Tempo
• Mind styles
• Psychological Differentiation
• Modality
• Multiple Intelligences
Conceptual
Understanding

11. Brain
Dominance
What is the way
in which the
brain analyzes
information?
•Analytical
•Global
•Integrated
Conceptual
Tempo
•Impulsive
•Reflexive
Mindstyles
•Concrete Sequential
•Abstrate Random

12. Psychological
Differentiation
Modality
Multiple
Intelligences
•Visual
•Auditory
•Tactile
•Kinesthetic
•Field Dependence
•Field Independence

13. Affective Elements
• Affective elements are the
motivational forces within
a learner typically viewed
as stimulating and
guiding behavior.
–Conceptual Level
–Psychological Types
Conceptual
Understanding

14. Conceptual Level
• High
–These students are more
independent. They enjoy
individual projects, problem
solving, and a choice of
assignments.
• Low
–These see environment as fixed
and rigid. They are not able to
look at alternative solutions to
problems.

15. Psychological Types
• Thinker
– These learners are more objective and
reason logically their decisions.
• Sensor
– These learners relate best to the real
world and concrete experiences.
• Feeler
– These learners make decisions based
more on their emotions and insight than
reason.
• Intuitor
– These learners relate to the world through
intuition. They are more global and more
apt to dislike detailed work.

16. The Theory of
Multiple Intelligences
the ability to create an effective product or offer a
service that is valued in a culture;
a set of skills that make it possible for a person to
solve problems in life;
the potential for finding or creating solutions for
problems, which involves gathering new knowledge
For Gardner, intelligence is:
