Accommodating Different Learning Styles

David Kolb’s learning styles model was published in 1984. This was later used by him to develop the experiential learning style inventory. Kolb's experiential learning theory works on two levels. Level one consists of the four stage cycle of learning, and level two consists of four separate learning styles. Most of Kolb’s theory is concerned with the learner’s internal cognitive processes. In Kolb’s theory, the impetus for the development of new concepts is provided by new experiences. The Experiential

There are four distinct conflict styles which are the levels of assertiveness and cooperativeness that are employed by a person in a conflict situation. Everyone has their own individual conflict style; my own style tends to be accommodating. This means that I am not very assertive and I am very good at cooperating with those I am in conflict with. In this essay I will examine each conflict style and my own choice of style and why I tend to default to this style. I will also examine whether or

KOLB – EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING MODEL David Kolb is an American educational theorist whose main work was on experiential learning. He published his learning styles model in 1984, which was later used by him to develop the Experiential Learning Style Inventory. Kolb’s model works on two levels. Level one consists of the four stage cycle of learning, and level two consists of four separate learning styles. As per Kolb, new concepts of learning in children developed when they had new experiences. EXPERIENTIAL

tendencies are between competing, collaborating, compromising, avoiding, and accommodating. No single style is the best to have or necessarily the “right” answer, but the assessment does help you understand your true tendencies for dealing with a conflict. Knowing where you rank on this assessment is important for knowing where your deficiencies and your strengths. This coincides with chapter five in learning what type of negotiation style you use, when, and how you can improve your negotiation tactics arsenal

Various Learning Styles and their Application: Connecting Learning Styles to Training and Development Katie Gardner Kennesaw State University Abstract This paper examines three models of learning styles including Kolb Experiential Learning Model, the VARK model, and the Honey and Mumford model. While the research on these three learning style models details both strengths and weaknesses, an alternative is suggested and explored in this paper. The methods by which each model is measured

Experiential Learning I have always believed that we learn by our own experiences. I think that this belief that I have lived by is why I was so intrigued by this particular learning theory. I will be discussing Kolb’s Cycle of Experiential Learning. I will explain the definition of this particular type of learning style and how it explains how as an individual one learns. I will be describing the four different stages of Kolb’s learning cycle and Kolb’s four different learning styles. I will also

The Kolb Learning Style Inventory—Version 3.1 2005 Technical Specifications Alice Y. Kolb Experience Based Learning Systems, Inc. David A. Kolb Case Western Reserve University May 15, 2005 Abstract The Kolb Learning Style Inventory Version 3.1 (KLSI 3.1), revised in 2005, is the latest revision of the original Learning Style Inventory developed by David A. Kolb. Like its predecessors, KLSI 3.1 is based on experiential learning theory (Kolb 1984) and is designed to help individuals identify the way

This paper will identify which of the Kolb learning styles best suits me and why I think so. It will also give some examples from my past and present to support these findings. After determining, the learning styles that best fit me and completing an inventory exercise, I have concluded that I learn best using audio and visual techniques in the learning process. I agree with everything this exercise has brought to light. I never knew that these styles were the meaning by which I learned. I have

academic concepts in learning styles to help with life situations possibly or to learn the best way to handle other people. In this paper, there will be three academic concepts discussed for adult learners that might be useful for everyday life. The first concept that will be discussed is the Kolb learning style. There is diverging style, assimilating style, and converging style in the Kolb learning style. This will be further discussed in details later on in the paper. This learning style is useful for

continues to develop, it continues to put a spotlight on addressing the many individual learning needs that each student has. These learning needs can be identified in many ways, some of these ways being, the student voicing them, a student’s grades, or a student’s behavior. When a student is acting out, or not responding at all, a teacher should take note that something in the environment, or, in their style of teaching, is limiting this student’s opportunity for success. Chapter two, “Behavioral
