Lesson 3: The Learners in the eyes of K to 12 Curriculum

 Types of Learners in the K to 12 Curriculum

The term “Generation Z” was popularized by William Strauss and Neil Howe in their
book Generations published ¡in September 1992. The term describes a cohort of people
born after the year 1997. Learners born in this generation are generally described as to
have used technology and social media at a very young age. They are comfortable in using
these technologies compared with most of the members of other generations. They can
easily use emails, send text messages, and event adapt to new and emerging technologies
with little to no difficulty. Marc Wensky (2001) calls them "digital natives” who have been
exposed to technologies at a very young age and are having a greater understanding of
their basic concepts. From here stems one of the more pressing problems in education in
our time. More and more digital natives flock our classrooms run by “digital immigrants,”
those were born before the digital technologies have become mainstream to the public.

As these Generation Z learners are more comfortable with the use of technology in
their everyday lives, they have adapted some practices and mindsets of their own. These
types of learners mostly think in a nonlinear way, preferring to take on tasks on their own.
They can also be multiprocessing and multitasking, and taking on several tasks or activities
at once. However, these multitasking practices may have led to some bad habits to learners,
including but not limited to shortened attention span and lack of complete focus to tasks.
This means they may be able to process complex information but not for a very long time.

A classroom can also have a multitude of learners. They can have very different
backgrounds, interests, preconceptions, and perspectives with them. They can have very
different styles of engagement and may have different takes on the tasks assigned to them.
Teachers in the modern age need to accede to the challenge of addressing these in their
practice.

 Four types of learners in the classroom (Proposed by Bernice McCarthy)


Type 1 Learner: Imaginative Learner
These types of learner are more feeling and reflective, preferring to speak about their
experiences, listening to others, and responding to them. They work well with others

discussing ideas, brainstorming, and examining relationships. They focus more on finding
out "why" should this be learned.

Type 2 Learner: Analytical Learner


They prefer to reflect and to think. They are knowledge-oriented, pondering over concepts
and acquiring facts. They have a knack for analyzing and organizing experiences into
concepts and useful information. They would prefer to be left alone to their own devices as
they objectively look through solving problems in a systematic manner. They would often
find it difficult to work with large groups or talk about their feelings. They favor quiet
environment to accomplish tasks.

Type 3 Learner: Common-sense Learner


They prefer to think and learn by doing. They like to "get their hands dirty", and dive into
problems head-on. As active problem-solvers, they love to manipulate stuff, experiment
ways of doing things, and share these through demonstrations. They often have difficulty in
verbal complexities and other abstract concepts that they cannot manipulate.

Type 4 Learner: Dynamic Learner


They tend to favor creating and acting as their way to learn. They do not simply like to
learn for the sake of learning, but rather find meaning in the experiences they have. They
often look for creative ways to tackle problems through trial and error and they believe
they can influence what happens.
There are different types of learners and they have their different learning styles, what we
need to understand is that there are as diverse and varied learners. Adapting to these
learners in one of the challenges teachers in the modern age is facing.
