Learning StylesPresent: Barnett Donna, Clark George, Leece Duncan, McKenzie Alison, Peden Bob, Simpson Alison Apologies: Rennie Joan. All those present filled the Checklist of Learning Styles and the results were tabulated (see below). The main learning points are that different people have different preferred learning styles and that some people are more flexible in this respect than others. PILE – Practical, Imaginative, Logical, Enthusiastic We then reviewed the handout Learning Styles and Training Mismatches. This reinforced the above point using different labels (PRAT – Pragmatist, Reflector, Activist, Theorist) and pointed for the need of trainers to (a) be aware of their own preferences and (b) to design training sessions with a range of activities so that they will please all of the trainees at least some of the time.
