Engaging Different Learning Styles
Post due by 10/11 Class
Let's say that you have these two learners, and you are trying to teach about the process of salvation:
First, Identify the learning styles that each of the two learners is exhibiting. Second, how might you design a short lesson that would help both of these learners to grasp the concept?

The girl seems to be a visual/sequential learner who needs to see the picture and steps to complete it. The boy is a global learner, according to Felder and Solomon. He sees the picture (the finished product) without seeing the steps. For the visual/sequential learner, I would teach these learners by first giving an overview of the lesson for the global learner, then I may present diagrams, steps, or a "how to" short film for the visual/sequential learner.

The first picture of the young girl seems to reflect a sequential learner who works better with logical, step by step instructions on the how to. The young boy appears to be a visual learner who can visualize in his head what's to be accomplished. I would the use the ABC's of salvation format for the first learner to allow her to clearly see the 3 or 4 steps to salvation. Each step will be described, representing the letters, and possibly noting relative scripture(s). As for my visual learner, I would replace the ABC's with pictures and/or a flowchart depicting the steps in the process.

The young girl in the first picture appears to be a visual/sequential learner based on how she is using step by step instructions to put the model airplane together. The young boy in the second picture is more of a global learner based upon the vision that he has in his head. He is able to see the picture of the finished product in his head. He "began with the end in mind". With the young girl I would use step by step instructions by illustrating: A - admit B - believe and C - confess. Pictures. For the young boy I would create the bigger picture by going over a complete lesson on salvation so that he is able to grasp the concept.

The young girl seam's to be a sequential learner, who usually learns by written steps. The young boy is more of a visual learner where he can learn just by simply seeing a project. I would give them a little of both models. I would give the a shorter written concept that appears more to the girl about the process of salvation and with the boy I would give a larger diagram, to help him understand the process, We must remember that these are children and you have to meet them where they can best grasp and learn.

As stated above the young lady is a sequential learner. I would present the process of salvation in a written step by step way whereas for the young man who is a global learner I would present the process of salvation by comparing it to a video game explaining to him the overall goal of the game and then showing him the steps.
ReplyDeleteIn the first picture the child seems to learning by reading the instructions meticulariously and following the instructions. In the second picture the child seems to visualizes the task at hand first in his head and then proceed to apply the information as it is needed. The first reader follows the instructions Jesus taught his disciples both visually and verbally. If we are thought through God's word and are able to apply those things we are taught in God's word visually then we are able to make the plan of salvation both in word and in application.

The girl is a sequential learner. She has to have things done step by step. The guy is a global learner. He learns from the whole picture. In terms of establishing a lesson plan to teach salvation to them, I would introduce the plan in order step by step. Plan an activity where they have to list the steps ,then have them write a short paper discussing the importance of salvation. This will give the global learner the opportunity to discuss outcomes. It will give the sequential learner the opportunity to put things in order.

In my opinion, the young girl exhibits signs of being either a reflective, visual, verbal, or sequential learner. Her learning style could easily fall under each of these categories considering the illustration, but one would need more information to determine a better since of what her true learning style may be. The young boy on the other hand, seems to be more of an active, intuitive, visual, or even global learner, as evidenced by his ability to just grasp the concept and put it together with clear directions. It's easy for me to relate to both of these characters because I've assembled things both ways at one point or another; however, I'm more like the boy than anything. A great way to teach both of these children about the process of salvation would be to use print outs and/or interactive worksheets as support to the audible directions and explanations that the teacher would give. The worksheets or even a workbook would give a sense of common ground between the two without being too biased to one particular learning style. Another supporting tool to teach them would be by using video clips, but the video clip could display a step-by-step process to salvation - catering to both the process-oriented young lady as well as the imaginative young man.
