Literature Review: Learning Styles

The behaviour we observed is models. In social life, children encompassed with effective people like parents, siblings, friends, tv characters and teachers etc. They attract to certain people and encode the behaviour and later imitate the behaviour interest to them regardless whether it is appropriate or inappropriate for them. MEDITATIONAL PROCESS: it is referred as a bridge between traditional learning theory and cognitive approach. Bandura believes that individuals are effective "informative processors" and always anticipate the connection between their behaviour and its outcome and such factor involved in the learning process to evaluate if the new response is accomplished.

Many disciplines utilize different terminology to describe essentially the same process, which can add to confusion when selecting and implementing an active learning approach. These differences can be attributed to the disciplines they were promulgated from or the organization that they emanated from. Cooperative Learning Cooperative learning is an approach that involves a small group of leaners working together as a team to solve a problem, complete a task or accomplish a learning activity that will improve their understanding of the subject matter. Every member is responsible not only by the words but also for helping teammates learn (Artzt and Newman, 1990). Accordingly, in cooperative classrooms, the students are expected to help each other, to discuss and argue with sharing their ideas.it helps to assess each other’s current knowledge and fill in gaps in each other understands.

How people process and store data is essential during the time spent learning. Blueprint - An inner learning structure. New data is contrasted with existing psychological structures. Construction might be consolidated, stretched out or adjusted to suit new data. The information frameworks of psychological structures are effectively developed by learners in view of previous subjective structures on account of learning dynamic digestion and convenience of new data to existing intellectual structures however in the event of inspiring learners to set their own particular objectives and propel themselves to learn.

As per the department of health/natural board, “Mentorship is a role undertaken to facilitate supervise and assess students in the practice setting”. As stated by Anderson, L (2009), to provide learning and positive educational outcomes, the mentor should determine their own teaching and learning styles and they should incorporate a combination of different learning styles. The lesson plan is aimed towards many learning theories to suit a range of learning styles. Which brings me to the view of Keefe, J.W (1979), “Learning styles are characteristic, cognitive, affective and physiological behaviours that serve as relatively stable indicators of how learners perceive, interacting with the environment. The lesson plan is detailed out into two study sessions.

According to him, a child’s behavior reflects the relevant responses they get against behaviors’. For example, initiation of rewards towards desired behaviors’ like star, flowers etc. Socio-cultural theorist, Vygotsky, Malaguzzi, are of the opinion that central to learning is the relationship and participation. Socially and culturally approved methods help children learn and develop. While observing the child, educators assess their expectations, gained activity-based experiences, including scaffolds from among children, and educators assist them in learning in an independent and/or shared

In the Educational Leadership article entitle “The Boss of My Brain”, authors Donna Wilson and Marcus Conyers examines the explicit instruction in metacognition. Researchers stated that “explicit instruction in metacognition puts students in charge of their learning.” It was also stated that “meta-cognition supports learning by enabling us to actively think about which cognitive strategies can help achieve learning, how we should apply those strategies, how we can review our progress, and whether we need to adjust our thinking.” I believe this a unique teaching tool for teachers to implement with their students. With the use of metacognition, students whether they are struggling learners or gifted can learn how to use a variety of cognitive strategies to help improve their learning.

Framework of the Study Cognitive Theory Cognitive theory is the dominant theory in instructional design and many of the instructional strategies advocated and utilized by behaviorists are also used by cognitivists. When designing from a behaviorist-cognitivist position, the designer will study the situation and sets a goal. Learning objectives are developed and individual tasks are broken down. In this approach, the designer selects what is significant for the learner to know and recognize, and tries to transfer that knowledge to the learner. Cognitivists consider learners develop learning through receiving, storing, and retrieving information.

The Effects of Perspective-Taking on Perceptual Learning 1. Introduction The perspectives that we adopt when interacting in the world play an integral role in the processes of thinking and learning. This notion is implicit in the way people speak informally about learning, such as when a tutor says to a struggling student "Maybe it would help if we approached this from a different perspective." In some areas of education, such as in history or literature, understanding perspectives is an explicit focus of the curriculum. And in everyday contexts, it has been suggested that perspective-taking is the primary mechanism with which humans are able to learn from others.

George Boeree: Personality Theories B. F. Skinner 2. Fritz Redl and William Wattenberg: Group life and classroom discipline Learners are encouraged to understand their behaviour and actions and to know that these differ between individuals. Supports self-control. Uses pleasant or unpleasant situations to modify behaviour. Classroom discipline refers to the efforts of a teacher to help students learn to conduct themselves in a responsible manner (Charles, 2011).

The problem or research question. The children have different learning styles, and these are ultimately responsible for the various forms of action of students to the process of mutual learning The importance of considering learning styles as a starting point in the design, implementation and monitoring of the teaching-learning process in the context of educational psychology and teaching itself is generally itself, which mainly concerns the work especially military school teacher Tcrn. Lauro Guerrero. Research on cognitive styles has had great importance for the methodologies applied by providing evidence to suggest that accommodate teaching methods favorite student styles, can bring greater satisfaction of these and also improved academics.
