    3. What learners like: To be challenged To be respected Variety of techniques Real-life experiences To get prompt feedback

    4. What learners don’t like: To be bored or talked down to. Inconsistency in expectations, grading. Lack of security.

    5. Research Shows: Teachers teach the way that they learn. According to Jerry Ginsburg – “most classrooms tend to cater to the learning style needs of a particular group.” Sadly, little is done to match students learning style needs to teaching styles. Lack of knowledge of this crucial information could and often does create discourse.

    6. Inventory Directions Answer the questions on the Kolb Learning Style Inventory by ranking the “4” choices for the statements that describes you best and “1” for the statement that is least like you. Plot your CE, RO, AC, and AE scores on the circle graph found on p.3 of your booklet. This graph will identify your “preferred learning style”. Copy ranking on to second sheet, total your scores for CE, RO, AC, and AE. You should end up with a total of 120 points. Copy your scores into the squares at the top of p. 6. Subtract AE-RO and AC-CE scores as directed on p. 6 and plot on grid on back side of sheet. This will identify your “learning style type” as discussed on pages 6-7of your workbook.
