Learning Style (2)By Kolb & McCarthy
Innovative learners are interested in personal meaning
in learning. Analytic learners are interested in acquiring facts to
deepen their understanding of concepts / processes.
Common sense learners are interested in how things
work. Dynamic learners are interested in self-directed
discovery. Independent study is effective for them.
