| Description: |
Stephanie discusses what learning styles are, how they impact a student’s ability to learn and why it is important for faculty to understand the learning styles of your students. In her teaching she exposes students to many different styles and has them reflect on each to determine which ones work best for them. She discusses the impact faculty bias toward the learning style in which they personally were successful can have on the students and encourages faculty to try teaching in a learning style that differs from their preferred one. She encourages the students and other instructors to explore and take risks with their teaching. Stephanie has found that if the learning is planned and explicitly explained to the students as part of the learning objectives for the course it is more readily accepted by the students. One teaching approach that she describes in detail is the mobile, post-draft outline. Stephanie is joined by Nancy Wozniak, a learning architect within the TLT Faculty Center, who discusses why it is important that faculty and students understand their own preferred learning style. She discusses various tools that faculty can used to assess their styles. |
