Types of learners and the cycle of experential learning.
Three types of learners
Dependent Learners
- prefer leader-directed information with high structure and clear focus
- prefer lecture-type information and tutorials
- tend to prefer larger groups for the formality of the instruction.
Collaborative Learners
- like to interact socially when learning through group-work, discussions, role play, simulations
- like to talk with others when they are learning and share information and insights.
Autonomous Learners
- prefer to direct their own learning and use others as a resource like guided reading and distance learning.
- set their own learning goals and objectives.
- prefer leader-directed information with high structure and clear focus
- prefer lecture-type information and tutorials
- tend to prefer larger groups for the formality of the instruction.
I am a more of a Autonomous Learner I set my own goals, reflect on them, and seek opportunities to practice outside the classroom. In the classroom I keep diaries to reflect on the notes they help me to learn best. Asking the question, help to create the conditions for the development of greater learner autonomy in class.
