Learning styles
Learning styles are the educational conditions under which a student is most
likely to learn

Therefore, learning styles do not really refer to what students learn, but how
they prefer to learn

Learning styles are a mixture of characteristic cognitive, affective and


physiological factors that serve as relatively stable indicators of how the student
perceives, interacts and responds to the learning environment.

Each one of us usually feels more comfortable with one learning style or
another.

Learning styles have more influence when it comes to learning than we realize,
because they represent the internal experiences we have or the way we
remember information.

The learning styles according to Alonso, Gallego and Honey

Authors of the book Los estilos de aprendizaje procedimientos de aprendizaje y


mejora, "

The authors state that there are 4 learning styles:

1. Assets

Students who prefer the active learning style enjoy new experiences, are not
skeptical and have an open mind

2. Reflective

Individuals with a preference for reflective learning style observe experiences


from different angles. They also analyze data, but not before having reflected
with determination.

3. Theorists

They usually have a perfectionist personality. They are also analytical, but they
like to synthesize and seek to integrate the facts into coherent theories, without
leaving loose ends and unanswered questions.
4. Pragmatics

They are rather practical and need to check their ideas. They are realistic when
making decisions and solving an issue, and direct their learning towards the
need to give answers to specific problems. For them, "if it is useful, it is valid".

Other learning styles we can find

But the previous classification is not the only one that exists, other authors have
proposed different learning styles. They are the following:

5. Logical (mathematical)

Individuals with the logical learning style prefer to use logic and reasoning
instead of contextualizing. They use schemes in which the relevant things are
shown. They associate words without finding meaning.

6. Social (interpersonal)

Learning styles have more influence when it comes to learning than we realize,
because they represent the internal experiences we have or the way we
remember information.

7. Solitary (intrapersonal)

This style of learning, also called individual, is characteristic of those who prefer
solitude and tranquility to study. They are reflective people and tend to focus on
topics that are of interest and give much value to the introspection to "mental
experiments"

8 Visual learning

These students are not good at reading texts but, on the other hand, they
assimilate images, diagrams, graphics and videos very well. It is usually
practical for them to use symbols or to create a visual shorthand when taking
notes, since in that way they memorize better.
.9. Aural (auditory)

These students learn best when they listen. For example, in discussions,
debates or simply with the explanations of the teacher. While other students can
learn more by coming home and opening the class manual, they learn a lot in
the classroom, listening to teachers.

10. Verbal (reading and writing)

Also known as linguistic learning, students with this learning style are better at
reading or writing. For them, it is better to read the notes or simply elaborate
them. The process of making these notes is a good tool for their learning.

11. Kinesthetic

These people learn best with practice, that is, doing more than reading or
observing. It is in this practice that they carry out the analysis and reflection.
Teachers who want to get the most out of these students should involve them in
the practical application of the concepts they intend to teach.

12. Multimodal

Some individuals combine several of the previous styles, so they do not have a
certain preference. His learning style is flexible and he is comfortable learning
with various learning styles.
