Class Activity: Learning Discussion

[#1]

Lead a brainstorming session to make connections between teaching styles and learning styles. On a board, draw three columns as shown below:

Teaching style                  Learning styles that conflict                  Strategies to adapt

Ask students to name different teaching styles that they are experiencing in their classes or have experienced in the past. Write them in the first column. In the second column, ask students to list characteristics of learning styles that would conflict with each teaching style. In the third column, have students brainstorm strategies to adjust for the differences between the two styles and adopt a more appropriate study method.
