Global and Analytical Learners Their Characteristics and Teachers Strategize to Accommodate Them By : Nor Syafika Binti Ghazali A133133 Nur Zarina Binti Mohamad A138098 Learning Style explains how the individual interacts with new information. The GLOBAL learning style and the ANALYTICAL learning style. No person is bound by one learning style. Even though individuals find themselves in both categories, they gravitate toward just one learning style. The Global Style Linked to right-hemisphere dominance in the brain Takes in information holistically Begins with understanding concepts first, with mastery of details to follow Prefer music or other background noise. The Analytical Style Grounded in left-hemisphere dominance in the brain Take in information sequentially, step-by-step Preferring to learn a series of facts that lead toward an understanding of a larger concept Requires orderly, quiet surroundings GLOBAL LEARNER may work better in groups than alone prefer to work on multiple tasks at once sees the big picture or overall view likely to respond to a problem with emotion first, instead of logic ANALYTICAL LEARNER preferring to study alone for long periods without interruption tend to work on one task to completion focuses on the parts that make up the big picture likely to respond to a problem with logic first, instead of emotion, solve problem systematically and logically. • Understanding the key differences in student learning styles leads to better learning support. • Numerous assessment tests allow individuals to determine their own learning styles and help parents and teachers find ways to encourage learning. • Teachers can develop lesson plans that accommodate both styles, such as incorporating narratives and group work into lesson plans to accommodate global learners. • Provide traditional classroom setting. • Shows and organize the sequences of information. • Leads to larger concept of understanding. • Provide activity that follows sequence, process, list, timeline, and charts. • Example: bring back pieces or parts of body altogether and explain their functions. • Provide flexible learning environment. • Explain concept first then the details. • Give them chances to do some group work. • Give them multiple task at once. • Plays background music. • Gives open ended questions. • Relates to life information.
