Other approaches to learning styles

The approach of Honey and Mumford is just one way of looking at different learning styles. If you wish to explore this further, ,you will find some good summaries of other approaches at: http://www.support4learning.org.uk/sites/support4learning/education/learning_styles.cfm or go to www.support4learning.org.uk and search for learning styles.

Another way of categorising learners is to measure their attributes in terms of:

1. Active vs reflective
2. Sensing vs intuitive
3. Visual vs verbal
4. Sequential vs global.

You can learn more about these learning styles and their implications for design and delivery of training at: http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html

This also includes a short online questionnaire which you can be used to determine your own learning style.
