Learning Styles
Most professional educators today readily acknowledge that children experience the world in different ways, take in and deliver information through various techniques and strategies and exhibit their understandings through different styles. Learning styles indicate the ways in which people process information. Dr Anthony Gregorc has identified four basic learning styles: concrete sequential, abstract sequential, concrete random and abstract random. The concrete styles deal with objects and hands-on, experiential learning, while the abstract styles deal with more theoretical thinking. The sequential styles deal with processing information in a linear, orderly fashion, while the random styles deal with processing information in a more haphazard, non-uniform way.

An understanding of learning styles can help students learn to value differences between people, and can help teachers understand how to reach students whose learning style may not match their own.
