Learning Styles and Theories

I can't believe the amount of information out there particularly related to the different learning styles and personality of our learners and how it can affect one's learning experiences. I feel that as Learning Managers it is important that we get to know each of our students learning styles and personalities early on. This in turn will provide me with an oportunity to adapt to the variety of student which I am faced with. It is a process which i think would be awesome if all the school could adopt as potentially all students who have similair learning styles could be put together which i feel would create a more efficient classroom.

With regards to the different learning theories: Behaviourism (black box), Cognitivism (brain-based) and Constructivism (own interpretations) I feel that not one individual learning theory is the answer but learning involves bits and pieces of each. These theories are more focused on how information is learnt and less about what is actually being learnt. This is where the Connectivism theory is different as it focuses more on the information being learnt and how it connects to the learner. I find all this intrigueing and feel that this type of learning theory will be beneficial for myself.
