Importance To Create An Effective Teaching And Learning Environment

2.2. It is important to select a number of teaching and learning approaches as individuals can face a number of barriers causing them difficulty to learn. Maslows (1987) Hierarchy of Needs shows that if all five aspects of this theory are met, which are, self actualisation, self esteem recognition, safety/security and physiological it creates a healthy environment for learners to progress and achieve their goal.

Learning style quizzes provide information based on an individual’s method of learning. They may be used as a tool to significantly increase the efficiency of studying. Having a greater understanding of learning styles allows individuals to most effectively learn new concepts and increase their ability to retain information. Using this quiz, I have been able to achieve a greater understanding of the learning styles which are most effective to me.

Maslow had created a hierarchy of needs where it is separated in to seven parts, ( physiological needs, safety needs, love and belonging, esteem needs, cognitive needs, aesthetic needs and self actualisation) starting at the bottom with our very basic needs, he believed we do not achieve our full potential without our basic needs met firstly. He applied this theory to children as well and believed if they did not have all of their needs met they would not be able to learn and understand more to their full potential. Even though we cannot attend to every single need of a child in school we try our best to and always ensure them that they have someone to talk to no matter what.

Maslow’s hierarchy of needs (Petty, 2004) theory best describes the needs of people to achieve their best through growth, the need to progress; teachers assist with this therefore ensuring the aforementioned are maintained, valued and practiced by all involved, the teacher will be best placed to develop good relationships with learners and colleagues thus encouraging a more relaxed environment enhancing the whole learning experience.

The learning style survey reflected that I am a strong visual learner. The survey was extremely accurate and has a strong correlation as to why certain subjects are easier for me to be successful in than others. For example, math is easier for me to grasp than literature based courses. Mathematics is comprised of complex formulas and diagrams. Explicit modeling must be done by the instructor (solving problems on the board and drawing diagrams) in order to effectively teach math. This is a direct contrast to literature instruction.

Learning is defined as a permanent change in attitude or behaviour that occurs as a result of repeated experience (Sims & Sims, 1995). Understanding one’s learning style has many advantages as it

Summary of Content: In the article, “Learning Styles: All Students Are Created Equally (And Differently.)”, it is explained that each student has their own particular way in which they retain information.

For an individual to learn they must be able to interpret the information effectively. Every student is unique and has different styles of learning. Faculty must be aware about the differences in learning styles and be able to accommodate all these in their teachings so that each student will understand and achieve success (Billings & Halstead, 2016). This paper is created in such a way that all the learning styles are considered and the objectives are formulated in meeting each needs of the students. In addition to this the learning outcome evaluation is performed on the basis of each student

The concept of learning style refers to the notion that individuals differ in the manner in which they acquire knowledge and/or skills through structured instruction or teaching. This concept recommends that individuals should become aware of their most optimal or effective learning style and tailor instructional material to suit their instructional needs. According to Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer & Bjork (2008), there three avenues or channels of communication that are used in learning and through which instructional materials and resources are presented to a learner. Pictures/images, speech/auditory, kinesthetic, and written words are modes through which instructional material is presented to students (Pashler et al., 2008). Individuals differ with respect to the mode they learn most effectively in, and they should strive to assess their strengths and weaknesses concerning different learning styles.

In this paper I will be discussing the different types of learning styles and which ones I can benefit from the most. The Learning Style is made up of thirty-nine statements completing the sentence, “I learn and remember best by…”, are given value by the respondent based upon a Likert Scale from 5 (most preferred) to 1 (least preferred) and with 3 being “not sure”. Once the statements are completed the scores are then put into six different categories and then broken down into subcategories. Those categories are Interpersonal Communication, Field-Dependent/Independent, Modalities, The Action Model, Teacher/Student Task Relationships and Leadership/Management Skills for Teachers.

Learning styles are an aspect of personality and are categorised through visual, auditory and/or kinaesthetic mediums. An individual may have a mixture of the learning styles and can be modified by choice or circumstance. The individual will learn more effectively through their preferred learning style. For example, a person who does not focus or gets distracted because of noise (auditory) may be better at building models and better at crafting (kinaesthetic). Visual learners learn by pictures, diagrams, charts, films, handouts, etc. Auditory learners learn through listening and speech. Kinaesthetic learners learn through practical hands-on
