As an adult education teacher, literacy provider or other similar practitioner, your primary goal is to help each of your students/clients become better learners. Research supports the existence of individual differences on how one learns. These differences can be so diverse that using only a single teaching style will definitely exclude many learning disabled students. Research supports that increased learning results when the various learning styles of the students are incorporated into your teaching style.

Having a good understanding about the basic learning styles is important when working with learning disabled as well as the other adults in your particular learning environment. Learning styles are simply the different ways that one learns.

Think for a moment about how you learn. When you learn something new, do you prefer to listen to someone telling you how to do something or do you prefer to read about the new information or do you prefer to have someone demonstrate how to do something and then practice it yourself?

There are many different learning style inventories that will help you to identify your own individual learning style as well as that of your students.

Click on the following file folder and print out the learning styles inventory. When you have finished, add up each column to determine what type of a learner you are. You may wish to use this inventory with your students. Just print an extra page and have your students add up their own scores.

OK, let's see what kind of learner you are! Click on the folder to begin.
