https://kb.com.au/ | Everyone has a preference for how they like information to be presented to them so they can process it with relative ease. We also have preferences for the way we analyse and evaluate information and then communicate it to others. Identifying personal learning styles is a major key to improving your performance and that of your students. When we become more familiar with learning styles we can help our students learn faster, more efficiently and easily.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) can provide us with some insights into how we can learn and communicate best. 'Neuro' refers to the mind, 'Linguistic' is about language and 'Programming' is about our sequences of repetitive behaviour and how we can act with purpose. NLP modalities and submodalities can provide important distinctions that are evident in each learning style.
A blended learning approach will be presented as a pathway to help teachers develop teaching programs to engage students in active learning.
