The importance of learning styles in learning process




Learning styles?
their importance in learning process?
:o
Do you remember this?
When we want to achieve an educational goal,
we have to take into consideration our learning style
in order to apply it in our metacognition,
but how can I know my learning style?
According to Kolb (1984, 41), "learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience. Knowledge results from the combination of grasping experience and transforming it."

As future teachers or tutors, we have to encourage our learners
to apply the knowledge they have already had in order to construct
a new one through different strategies. These strategies come from their
learning style.
Have you already had a teachingexperience?
If the answer is "yes", Had you already thought on these learning styles?
Have you given them the importance they have in learning process?
If thye answetr is "No", Are you really conscious about them?
Are you going to take them into consideration next time you design a lesson plan?
I'll be waiting for your answers and together we can reflect on that
ok?
See you soon!


Roadmap of E-leaning

Hi! :D

You know, I was just looking for a video about e-learning

and I found one from Stockholm college, which is focused on

e-Learning communities. They express their intention to take

Education beyond physical places with the belief on net communities as a powerful tools

for sharing aspects as cognitive, teaching,

but also the social aspect, which can create human relationships and change lives in

different senses. They higlight that the important point is to take advantages from

these aspects in order to achieve the creation of knowledge.

It doesn't matter if inside of the community there are

handicap people, women working at home and outside or workers with irregular working schedules, the education must be for all.

wow! It sounds great...what do you think about it?



I would like you to see this video which is a little introduction

of e-learning, but I can say that it includes many important things

that I've discussed and checked during my course.

The Learning-Teaching Process


Hello everyone!!!
How are you? :)
As I said before, Today I want you to analyse in detail how the teaching, social and connitive presences are inside our learning-teaching process.
As we can observe, there are many important factors around them, but everything has the same purpose...set purposes focused on students needs
in order to create meaningful learning.
It's important to know that as teachers of a new era,
we can apply this into F2F or e-learning courses.
Don't you think so?

The preliminar view of E-learning


hi!

Do you remember what e-learning is?

What are the factors involved in this kind of learning teaching process?

According to my course, this was our first view of learning, but it is obvious that
the teaching, social and cognitive presences are missing, but
it is due to I want you to examine them in detail a little more later :)
what do you think about this?

Have you ever experienced a e-learning?

Wold you like to experiment this?

What will be the possible difficulties that you will probably face in a first e-learning lesson?

Please, reflect on that and let me know your points of view ok?
:)
