Term2.png Learning Styles
People learn and develop in different ways and in different directions.

Learning is a complex neurological experience. As yet, we cannot detect why or how learning occurs or to what it can be attributed[1]but underlying, are theoretical concepts such as:

  • Behaviour: an earlier school of thought, based on the way we react and learn from circumstances when motivated
  • Structuralist: where learners are presented with an end goal and allowed to determine what has been achieved through thinking processes
  • Cognitive: recognising that people have unique thought and mental processes that affect their learning; attention, memory, language, reasoning and problem solving are key to determining the learning environment conducive to individual learning traits.[2]

Origin

The notion that people think, feel and experience the world in different ways through four functions of the mind (thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition) was pioneered by the Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst Carl Jung.
