Learning profile refers to a students preferred mode of learning. Gender, culture,learning style,etc all shape the learning profile. Some students work best on their own, some work best collaborating with others. Some students are visual, some are analytic. Each student has a different learning profile. Learning profile factors can impede or aid a student's progress. A teacher needs to provide ways of learning that make the learning journey of each student more efficient and effective.
Ways to differentiate for learning profile:
- Environment: Temperature, activity level, amount of light
- Cultural Influence: Relaxed/structured, reserved/expressive, personal/impersonal
- Visual: Overheads, pictures, notes, maps, diagrams
- Auditory: Lectures, read aloud, music
- Kinesthetic: Move around, hands on, types or highlights during lectures.
Need personal reflection to know what you're learning or thinking of these things... (2 pts.)
