Learning Styles:
Aristotle said that each child possessed specific talents and skills and he noticed
individual differences in young children
Starting here and basing in what I have been reading I understand that Learning Styles
should be defined as the way in a person can learn.
Some consider that is the manner in which learners perceive, interact with, and
respond to learning environment .It components are the cognitive, affective and
physiological elements, all influence by personals culture background.
Apart from that I read on Teach.com that the term Learning speaks of the
understanding that every learner learns differently. It refers to the preferential
way in which the student absorbs processes, comprehends and retains
information for example when a student have to build a clock ,some of them
understand the process by verbal instructions while others have to physically
manipulate the clock.
To teachers is important to understand the differences in their students
learning styles in order to implement best practice strategies into their daily
activities. (Source: https://teach.com/what/teachers-teach/learning-styles/).
Kolb believes that learning styles are not fixed personality traits, but
relatively stable patterns of behaviour that is based on t heir background
and experiences better thought as learning preferences, rather than styles
