OBJECTIVES
01 Students will be able understand
the concepts of learning and
thinking styles.

02 Students will be able to identify

their own preferred styles and
absorb the idea of different
approaches of learning and
thinking styles
 INTRODUCTION
In the way of how people process
information, learn new things, and
solves issues of their problems are
influenced by learning and thinking
styles. These cover the various way of
individuals to interact with or interpret
things in their surroundings. This is
important for such educators, future
educators, students and anyone who is
interested in self-improvement and
development and to have effective
communication skills.
INTRODUCTION
In this topic of learning and
thinking styles will make us aware of
and engage in the difficulty of human
cognition and adaptability. By
engaging in these different learning
and thinking styles, we can develop
more personal progress or even more
societal development. This
understanding is the key to unlocking
our full potential and harnessing the
power of our unique cognitive abilities.
LEARNING & THINKING STYLES

• Thinking and learning styles refer to

individualized processes by which people use to
process information, make decisions, and gain
knowledge.
• They describe a person’s typical mode of
thinking, remembering or problem-solving.
LEARNING STYLES

Sensory Preferences:
1.Visual Learners
2.Auditory Learners
3.Kinesthetic Learners
 Visual Learners
Visual learners must see their
teacher’s facial expression to fully
understand the content of the lesson.
They process and retain information
more effectively when it is presented in
a visual format, such as images,
diagrams, charts, graphs, videos, and
other visual aids. Visual learners often
have a strong preference for seeing
information rather than simply hearing
or reading it.
Auditory Learners
They learn through most verbal
lectures, discussions, talking things
through and listening to what others
have to say. They have a strong
preference through hearing. They can
process information effectively in the
process of verbal format.

Auditory learners also fall into two

categories:
• Listeners
• Talkers
 Tactile/Kinesthetic
Learners
Tactile or kinesthetic persons
benefit much from hands-on approach,
actively exploring the physical world
around them. They thrive when they
can touch, manipulate, and interact
with objects and materials to
understand and remember
information.
THINKING STYLES

1.Analytical Thinking
2.Creative Thinking
3.Practical Thinking
 Analytical Thinking
Analytical thinking is a method for analyzing a problem
and finding a solution. This is a way of processing and breaking
down complex information. Analytical thinking is helpful in
identifying cause and effect relationships and making
connections between two factors.
Creative Thinking
Creative thinking is a mode of thought that involves using
existing knowledge to develop new, original or innovative ideas.
Creativity sometimes challenges the accepted ways of doing
tasks or processes. This type of thinking can help you approach
challenges with a new perspective.

Practical Thinking
Practical thinking, also called common sense or “street
smart,” describes the ability to perceive one's surroundings and
“recognize functionalities” from this perception (Vogel, 2018).
This helps to grasp things in terms of their practical applicability
to effectively solve a given problem

 Review of Main Points
Main Point 1: Learning styles are the unique ways of how
an individual processes information, solves problems and
absorbs knowledge. There are a lot of thinking and learning
styles but only focus on sensory preferences (visual,
auditory, and tactile) by where it is common and very
effective.

Main Point 2: A thinking style is a characteristic way of

processing information. It involves how one acquires
knowledge, organizes thoughts, forms views and opinions,
applies personal values, solves problems, makes decisions,
plans, and expresses oneself to others.
