Four ways learners may approach learning

Learning Styles Handout #2 describes learners according to how they approach learning:

• Practical learners who learn through direct experience
• Analytic learners who learn through exploration of ideas
• Imaginative learners who learn through the "6th sense"
• Inventive Learners who learn through experimentation

This resource was pulled from the training session "Beyond Icebreakers and Power Points - Incorporating Principles of Adult Learning into your Training Program" presented by Nancy Henry, Judith Gold, and Nicole Trimble at the National Conference on Service and Volunteerism (June 20, 2006).

Use this resource to:

• better understand and identify the four types of learners
• incorporate training strategies appropriate for each type of learner
