    The document discusses learning styles and how individuals primarily learn through visual, auditory, or tactile modalities. Visual learners prefer using images and charts, auditory learners learn best through listening, and tactile/kinesthetic learners learn by touching and doing. It also discusses mastery learning, which posits that students can master any topic if it is broken down and taught at each student's own pace, with opportunities for remediation or enrichment. For mastery learning to be effective, teachers must understand individual learning styles, assess students formatively, and provide targeted instruction based on assessment results.

    What are Learning Styles?

    Information enters your brain


    three main ways: sight, hearing
    and touch, which one you use
    the most is called your Learning
    Style
    Visual Learners learn by sight
    Auditory Learners learn by
    hearing
    Tactile Learners (kinesthetic)
    learn by touch

    Visual Learners

    Prefer to see information such as


    pictures, diagrams, cartoons,
    demonstrations
    Picture words and concepts they hear
    as images
    Easily distracted in lecture with no
    visual aids
    Overwhelmed with intense visuals
    accompanied by lecture
    Benefit from using charts, maps,
    notes, and flash cards when studying

    Auditory Learners

    Prefer to hear information spoken


    Can absorb a lecture with little effort
    May not need careful notes to learn.
    Often avoid eye contact in order to
    concentrate
    May read aloud to themselves
    Like background music when they study

    Let me hear it!

    Tactile or Kinesthetic Learners

    Prefer touch as their primary mode for


    taking in information
    In traditional lecture situations, they
    should write out important facts
    Create study sheets connected to vivid
    Okay, I
    examples
    get it
    Role-playing can help them learn and now.
    remember important ideas

    Mastery Learning

    Students can master any topic


    IF if it is broken down into small chunks & if they are
    given enough time to learn at their own pace
    Assumes that almost all students can and will master a
    great deal of what is taught;
    if instruction is approached systematically;
    if the students are helped when and where they have
    learning difficulties;
    if they are given sufficient time to achieve mastery.

    Implication of Mastery Learning in T&L

    Teacher use suitable strategies to match individuals


    learning style
    Teacher look into factors that affect learning style (5
    factors):
    Environment (light, sound)
    Psychology (left/right brain, impulsive mood)
    Emotion (motivation, responsibility)
    Social (indivdual, pair, group, adult)
    Physiology (nutrition, learning time)
    Emphasizes aspect of individual differences
    Use of various teaching aids

    Rational Implementation of M.L in school


    1)

    M.L is not new. Already implement in KBSR &


    KBSM

    2)

    Enable pupils to master what is being taught

    3)

    School in developed countries; have evidence


    that pupils perf. & achievement are relatively
    higher than general teaching method.

    Strategy of t&L for Mastery Learning


    1)

    Determine learning outcomes

    Planning explicit learning objective

    i.e. based on observation of pupils behaviour

    Explicit learning obj.: contain elements that can be measured


    during evaluation

    2.

    Use suitable learning materials to suit different learning


    style

    3.

    Evaluate learning test by: diagnostic test & formative test

    4.

    Carry out remedial activities (not fully mastered)


    Enrichment activities (hav attained learn.obj.
    satisfactorily)

    5.

    Implications in T&L

    Teacher should realize that every pupils


    learning style is different from others.
    Therefore, there is no single perfect
    teaching method to teach all the pupil in a
    certain class.
