LEARNING STYLE OF YOUR STUDENTS

Teachers should be the one to observe every students progress and see what kind of a learner he/she is.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually gather information on learning styles of my students, after first observing globally and individually, using the technique of drawing to understand his ego, the state of mind, etc ... at a later time write simple texts where they can express emotions, feelings, states of mind, etc. .., I organize the group activities and observe if all of them are able to socialize, work etc ...

Often we make conversations and I try to understand if all have the ability to intervene actively participating in the conversation. sometimes their perform of activity where I invite you to present their product to the class and at the end I propose to do a self-evaluation and a collective evaluation.

With this my methodology I try to understand what are the strengths

and weaknesses of each student

My goal is to design appropriate learning activities, stimulating and motivating, capable of meeting the needs, skills, learningabilities of my students.

I was very impressed by the young

students in the video reflecting

their ways of learning. I'm sure

that was the result of a whole year's

work in this class!

Gathering informations about the

learning styles is surely obtained

by observation but I think

communication is important, too.

One issue, from the very first day

of the school year on, is making a

warm welcome to each student and

his parents. During a few minutes

we complete a first questionnaire,

(does he/she wear glasses, ...)

Then I stick a paper on each

student's desk and I explain that I

want to know them better by

writing things I notice during the

first days, because I want to

remember positive things. It's

important to note something for

everybody to create relationship.

Then we work about Gardner's

Multiple Intelligences: students

bring an object they like and

present it to the class. Students

learn something about the others

and about theirselves. This allows

to observe several items and

federates the class.

During the lessons, we try to

explain different manners of

doing,how to face new learning

situations. We spend much of time

in explaining emotions. Students

(and teachers!) need to know that

they are not "learning machines".

In my opinion it's one of the key to

self-confidenceful learning.

I agree with my colleagues. Students observation, discussion with peers, involving parents and track their progress is essential to personalize learning.

# data[].attributes.body
It is interesting and important to know the different  learning styles of the students - at least to some extent. I try to offer different ways of learning and varying exercises to my  students. I have tried to acquaint myself with learning styles (visual, auditive, kinesthetic and tactile) as well as Gardner´s multiple intelligences. I have books and other material on both to help me plan activities. I have heard that most teenage students are quite kinesthetic, but of course not all.To get information about my students´ learning I use my own questionnaires and interview their student counsellors who give lessons to them and also look into their learning styles. I can´t interview all their parents as I teach several classes in secondary school and have almost 200 students. I have noticed that By this age students are actually able to tell things about their own learning styles themselves

# data[].attributes.body
I think personalized Learning for the students in the classroom is a difficult task for me as a teacher. Considering there are different learning styles of the students, I try to variate my teaching with olika moments and activities so that the most of students can learn. For a few students who are left behind completes with iPad as an alternative tool. For the students who is mycket better than the average, I give more challenging assignment  to them. To find out what learning styles of the students, I usually observe and talk to the students.

# data[].attributes.body
As Marianna and Eva said, I'm not completely sure about how to define student's styleof learning. I only know that I can't teach in the same way in every class. they are all different!!! surely, we must observe and experiment with our students, and we must let us to change style and method when we realise tht it doesn't work

Tablets and smartphones or other kinds of devices can help us to improve our approach to each class, when the style is not working. But I can demostrate that IT not always are the solution to learning styles problems.

But nobody said until now, what happen with learning styles of special needs students. well, I suppose that it is all other discussion, isn't it? but I saw actual changes in learning methods when It entered to be part of the teaching method. They can learn faster and better. so, as I said before, we must be patient and pay attention to realise the best moment to change our style,without thinking "oh!, now they believe I am wrong! oh! I must be hard" no, mistaking is ppossible and I think that's the best learning-teaching style!

# data[].attributes.body
It depends on our students's age. Adults are able to understand how they learn and what type of instruction serves them better. Kids, are other story. In their case I think it is better to ask their parents. For adult language learners we have a very famous learning strategy inventory that can be administered in class to collect the information. Check

I consider a discussion with students, form teachers, parents would give us an opportunity to learn more about our students

# data[].attributes.body
I normally gather iformation about the learning styles of my students by observing them, discussing with my collegues and using tests and questionnaires. Asking them or discussing with them is not very useful at the beginning because they need to become aware of their learning styles. This kind of awareness is very important to help them improve their learning skills, organize a personal method and learn how to self-assess and readjust it.

We generally consider this classification of learning styles

# data[].attributes.body
It isn't enough to ask the students, we must give them the opportunity to take part in different themes and tools.

They can make a introduction with video, ebook, poster or drama play.

# data[].attributes.body
I can observe, use questionnaires, discuss with other teachers or specialists. I also use MBTI, I found it very useful for me.

# data[].attributes.body
For a personalized learning we have to know the individual characteristics and interest of our students. So beginning developing a variety of learning plans for our students is a priority and can be challenging. Tablets can help teachers to support the personalised learning activities of their students. Students' self-assessment is very important. They can use their tablets to access online assessment tools to identify their learning type, according to their preferred learning style, strengths and weaknesses.

Editor's Note: The multiple intelligences quiz has been removed from Edutopia. While the test was a useful tool to explore different ways in which intelligence can be understood, research calls into question whether results were being interpreted and used appropriately.

To learn more, please see this 2018 article on some common misunderstandings about multiple intelligences theory and learning styles.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The theory of multiple intelligences has captured the attention of many educators who are interested in how students learn. While the theory hasn't been corroborated by research, many teachers find it helpful to better understand the abilities of their students.

# data[].attributes.body
It is essential to know the individual characteristics of our students and discover their interests. We all have our skills if we are able to unite fun and learning, they will be more motivated because we promote learning style with the most appropriate resources to meet their goals. We registar our notes on questionnaires, portfolios customized plans for students who require it. Reflecting different rhythms, styles, learning resources.

# data[].attributes.body
Student learn by collaborating, through oservation, doing exercises, videos, presentations.

EVERY STUDENT IS DIFFERENT. THAT IS WHY THE FLIPPED CLASSROOM IS AN AWESOME IDEA CATERING FOR ALL ABILITIES AND ALLOWING TEACHER CATER FOR WEAK STUDENTS AND ALSO SUPPORTING THOSE WITH ABOVE AVERAGE ABILITIES.

# data[].attributes.body
Every student is different from another one and this is clear on my mind. As wrote Eva Sánchez from Spain,also in my case, I'm not conscious of what type of learner are my students. Maybe I know it in some cases, but I don't use any sistematic strategy to identify this. I'm sure that it isn't
enough to ask the students, but, as far as we can, both, students and teacher must be aware of how the student learn best.
Maybe a good strategy is to use different methodologies: obervation, to explain the students what type of learners exists, to make a test and analise the results, asking them what type of learners are.

# data[].attributes.body
With older students I sometimes use the following test (follow link)but as a general practice I give them a questionnaire (in paper) to gather information about their learning/working styles. And in Portugal, most course books cover all these learning styles.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there is the best way. Or just a "better" way. As it will depend on the situation of students, there are plenty of aspects of which we must not forget. There is yes methods, applications and good suggestions.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually make them do a self-assessment, usually a small test that will help them determine their learning style. As I use Edmodo, they can enter this on their profile so i can tailor activities based on their needs and the info posted there. I think students, especially when they are older, know pretty well what kidn of learner they are.Still, a playful test or survey can help them sometimes.

# data[].attributes.body
Every student is different from another one. It's important to observe their behavior to understand their learning styles. It allows the teacher to personalize his lessons and studets to learn better. It is essential to do!

# data[].attributes.body
I use personalisation according to different learning styles. First of all my students have to take a questionnaires  http://vark-learn.com/vark-klausimynas/ to find out his/her learning style (Visual, Aural, Read/write, and Kinesthetic). I use TeamUp to form groups according to students' learning styles. In this case the group can respect their learning needs. Each group creates learning activities according to their learning style. And from my practise this gives better learning results.

# data[].attributes.body
Of course you both could and should ask the students about how they learn the best but it is also important that I as their teacher keep a close eye, observe and document how and when they learn the best. I always adapt as much as possible in my classroom to be able to meet all these needs. it could for instance be that one half of the classroom is darker than the other and the students are free to sit where it suits them the best, some wants music, others don’t, they need different paces and here the padlets come in since me and the student can decide for each and everyone how and what to do and set individual goals.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's good to ask the students. I think that most of the teacher don't ask and they just teach all the studend in the same method, I think that the students, always fully aware of how they learn best.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not conscious of what type of learner are my students. Maybe I know it in some cases, but I don't use any sistematic strategy to identify this.

I don't think that it's enough to ask the students, but, as far as we can, both, students and teacher must be aware of how the student learn best.

Maybe a good strategy to identify this must use diffferent methodologies: obervation, to explain the students what type of learners exists, to pass them a test and after that, analise the results and ask them what type of learners are.

# data[].attributes.body
I normally use emotional observation to identify deifferent levels of learning.

After that, I feel that every child is unique and must be taught according to his needs and motivation but... here comes the schedule, principals, paperwork, ... they must follow a path which is the same for everyone. So, ate the very begining of their learning lifes they realised that some peers go walking and some goes in a plane and that´s not fair and get frustated.

As an elementary teacher I feel that situation many times and so I try to teach them taking into account their paces.

# data[].attributes.body
I use my observations and covnersations with pupils and parents to adjust the teaching and learning. I think that  this is a good strategy to understand in what way my students learn.   For special needs students I receive advice from experts about what are  the best methodologies and tools to foster students learning process. I find learning style of my students using questionnaires, surveys, tests and learning dyaries.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that asking students what they prefer is enough. Some of them are limited by what they have already seen and believe there are no other ways to learn.
When i said to some of my students that they could actually learn math while using a tablet, they where very skeptical.
I believe the best way to know the different learning styles of our students is at first with questionnaires but that can evolve with face-to-face talks and, of course, the teachers observation of students.
Teachers provide a start point, but down the line they start to accomplish the different goals using their own method, their own schedule and their own way.

# data[].attributes.body
We had a short period with focus on learning styles, but at the school Im working now its not something thats focused on any more. But there is some focus on variation of activities and on teaching the pupils to asses their own work and that they should know what goals we are working towards.

# data[].attributes.body
I have a questionnaire adapted to students, classifying them in different levels of learning styles. In addition, I plan different types of tasks and record and analyze their reactions and behaviors, trying in this way to adapt the types of tasks to those they feel more comfortable in learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I observe my students while they work in pairs, and in small groups, but also discuss with them strategies used and how to overcome either difficulties or lack of interest on the subjects.

# data[].attributes.body
I observe my students  and Ithink that  this is a good strategy to understand in what way my students learn.  Then I can communicate with students and gives them questionnaires to better focus their preferences. For special needs students I receive advice from experts about what are  the best methodologies and tools to foster students learning process.

# data[].attributes.body
I gather information by observing students and also when I'm speaking with them about it.

# data[].attributes.body
Observation and face-to-face discussions helps, but I also have this "little thing" I do with all my pupils during the first days: I gave them a task "Introduce yourself to your classmates by creating a drawing, a poster, a collage, a PPT or whatever YOU like to choose. Show us, something of you!".

It helps :-).

# data[].attributes.body
I observe a lot and face to face discaussions are very useful. I have up to 30 students per class. I speak with their parents too. All this is spead across the year.

I use some quiestionnaires and face-face discussions. Observation helps too.

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best way to teach students individually is to find out, what kind of learner each student naturally is. Some are more aware of sounds, others more of smells, others more of touching things and so on. If you are able to identify every student like that you know all the needs every single student has. In fact in normal European school surroundings it is almost impossible to achieve that

# data[].attributes.body
The learning styles rely heavily and are not always easy to identify. I think that one way to promote the learning of all students is to diversify the ways and teaching strategies and see how students prefer. Talking to students and their parents can also help.

# data[].attributes.body
I reflected on how my students will learn, and consequently which attitude should I have to make it happen.
Learning may prove better for a through several ways:
- Visually;
- Touch or body part, physics;
- Auditory, Music;
- Oral / written or verbal part;
- Work in a group or individual.
I think it is a variety of ways to learn and see that can be compatible with the variety of shapes that can work with students using the tablets and the applications that can exploit and allow the development of students' abilities.
At this time I have a problem I can not take so much information. I pity.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to the learning styles I used to do the next things.

- observe the students

- Very different kinds of tests

- Having individually conversations with them

- There is also kind of proves that you can make to your students in order to know what is his learning style and adapt the resouces for them

but it's important to highlight that this process take a time and the best way to know it it's just observing all the time in the clasroom,

# data[].attributes.body
We have to offer several ways to learn, they could chose how to learn. We have to make a meditation about the last student of the video: "I learn better in every way except reading"

# data[].attributes.body
In order to map out the different learning styles of my students I use various ways. I´ll share some examples...
When meeting a new group I try different kinds of workings styles and try to assess the outcome on a groups level. Then I ask my students what style they preferred. I ask them to think about it first on an individual level and then use their own thoughts in discussion with others. My experience is that my view of their different learnings styles often matches their own thoughts. Not always though…
I also collaborate with my colleagues sharing the same students. When I hear about a project a certain student had a real success in I try to ask myself if I can use the same style in my own subject. Sharing is caring! :)

# data[].attributes.body
My personal  experience as a teacher provided me with the knowledge that  in a classroom each pupil has its own learning pace and style. Some learn better when they read, others prefer to write; some prefer to play games (hands on experience) , others prefer listening ororal activities...

# data[].attributes.body
I do not truly believe that a person is always fully aware of how they learn best. Therefor to simple ask the students which are the best strategies we may overlook some good strategies and various learning styles that the students have but have simply never thought about it.

I always use the face-to-face discussions to further understand my students, their needs, interests and prior experiences. These face-to-face discussions can also be carried out with their parents when I am lucky to be the teacher responsible for the class’s educational orientation. In Portugal, at the beginning of each new school year we use questionnaires that help us identify some of the students learning styles and preferences, as well as, to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

I have never used ePace that Katja mentioned but I am going to have a look at it to see how it can help me with the students learning styles and to see what are their preferred content and tools.

# data[].attributes.body
- I observe my students

- I ask them how they study at home

- we have in student's books tips how to study and we discuss it

Sometimes I give my SS autonomy to choose what to do. But is is a personalised learning of little extent or not on a fully-planned scale. However, I am trying to make them responsible for their own learning and also I highlight that they do not study simply for grades.

I do not know all of my SS's learning styles but I am aware of their hobbies, free time activities, music oreferences and talents.

My students do not have individual learning plans, just plans of topics to cover in the content of student's books that are the same for all.

Students need tips and help how to learn if they do not get it from their parents or friends. They can observe themselves too.

Tips from the course: questionnaires, portfolios, discussions

THE GOAL: SS are DESIGNERS OF THEIR LEARNING PROCESS

They became- reflectors, presentors, explorers, evaluators

Personalised apps on the tablet.

FEEDBACK - very important! Self-reflection and self-evaluation can be used. Students can keep track of their learning progress too. Their classmates can comment too.

- blogs, glogs, padlet

Parents- supervisors of their children. OK- that is challenging to conduct.

# data[].attributes.body
- variety of tests and questionnairies to find out the learning style, variety of activities adressed to every learning style

- their own collages about the strengths, special skills, preferences, needs

- peer evaluation

- individuall discussions with students (self-evaluation) and parents

- use of rubrics

- let the students be the teacher and assess the abilities of their clasmates

- create posters (online like glogster) with the characteristics of the learning types and remind the students to assess themselves by observing the way they work and implement their observations in the eprotfolios

I don't think that the students can estimate which learning type they are but if they learn how to do it they get a grasp of it like the pupils in the second video. One student for example said "I like to move around things, thats the way I learn the best".

# data[].attributes.body
There isn't a general Styles Learining to be applied in a classroom.

The students are various and each requires his Style Learning.

The best thing, that the teacher can do, is to know their students

and then to apply a personalized Style Learning. Infact, each student

has their own way of learning: there are students who learn best by

reading, others looking, others creating (alone or in groups), ecc...

# data[].attributes.body
I observe my students, I talk to them, their teachers, even their parents, and that way I gather information about their learning styles. Also, we as teachers are encouraged to teach our students how to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
My personal  experience as a teacher provided  me with the knowledge that  in a classroom each pupil has its own learning pace and style. Some learn better when they read, others prefer to work in group; some prefer to play games , others prefer oral activities...

# data[].attributes.body
It is difficult to describe exactly how can get information about my students' learning styles, I think the best way is to prove different kind of activities along a period of time, and take notes of everyone, finally if you observe carefully, will know which ways or learning are more suitable for each student

# data[].attributes.body
the term “learning styles” speaks to the understanding that every student learns differently. Technically, an individual’s learning style refers to the preferential way in which the student absorbs, processes, comprehends and retains information.It is important for teachers to understand the differences in their students’ learning styles, so that they can implement best practice strategies into their daily activities, curriculum and assessments.Identifying your students as visual, auditory, reading/writing or kinesthetic learners, and aligning your overall curriculum with these learning styles, will prove to be beneficial for your entire classroom. Allowing students to access information in terms they are comfortable with will increase their academic confidence.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes, changing the way in which I think that it is the best way to learn, is so difficult. This is my case, because I work with adults who had a very difficult life, and most of them have contact with drugs during a lot of time, so their brains are not in the best conditions. So, they think that there is only one way to learn, the "traditional learning".

Adding to them, most of them only had contact with PC to steal from a car or a shop.

So, changing their thaught about school, is a little difficult.

Anyway, we didn`t have the conditions to try to change this and work some skills without some devices as tablets, smartphones or PCs.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to don’t make our classes bored, different methodologies have to be used.

Using a varied sort of resources allows us to easily gain its attention and they will be more motivated to learn.

# data[].attributes.body
There are different learning styles questionnaires. In Spain, some of the best known are Honey -Alonso and the Kolb test, which I've used on occasion. According to these authors, learning styles are divided into 4 types: active, reflexive,

theoretical and pragmatic. In addition to the questionnaires that help teachers to know their students, it is important that teachers carry out direct observation  and  that they also meet with parents to see if the style that the student develops in the classroom is the same as the one he or she uses at home.

Overall, I think that teachers are not aware of our own learning style, and often fall into the trap of transmitting knowledge to our students as it was transmitted to us, without thinking if it can be done differently. I think  tablets can be a good tool to force us to adapt to the different learning styles of our students and create more attractive tasks and projects for them.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that direct observation is one of the most effective actions to understand in what way our students learn. Surely communicating with children and offering them questionnaires you can have confirmation of what the observation suggested to us.

# data[].attributes.body
Every school year all the teachers of first year students (14 years old) are engaged in gathering information with different activities on the stdents'level of preparation, but also learning styles , likes, skills.. I found this very valuable, especially when the group of teachers share a similar vision of teching . Unfortunately this does not always happen.

In addition, our class groups are formed by 28/32 students ... Too many for individualized scenarios!

Personally, I encourage the students to attempt at several different tasks, as they need to get ready to evaluations and state tests. They certainly need to become always more consciuos of what they do easily and what requires more effort and comittment. But this requires taking responsibilities over one'own learning process, and this is ... the great challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
I get to learn what types of learners my students are in time but it is not always very obvious. Class observation, tests and asking them what kind of material on the same subject helps them better can give me a better idea. Talking to them, to other teachers and their parents can also help. There are some tests that give you an idea of what is your learning style. I think portfolios of their work and their reflection could be a good strategy. I try to teach my lesson in a way that would help several learning types and that makes the lesson more interesting for them.  I keep in mind thought that I should help them to be able to learn using any type of material that may even not be their preference and help them to adapt or transform it to something more suitable for them for example if they learn better by listening I would encourage them to read aloud a written text, or if they learn with physical movement they could dramatize the text. I think that simply asking students won’t always do the trick because sometimes it is difficult to have that self-awareness.  Especially younger students may need some help to identify their learning type.

# data[].attributes.body
Every student has his/her own way of giving ideas about the projects in general. For instance, in my lessons i write a note related to the topic of that day on the board, and then ask the students what they can do with the 'note' on the board. Students get excited because of this question goes directly to their ability to use in it, and one by one i get the replies about the 'note'. Some say that s/he will create a poster about it, and others say that s/he will draw some different things about it, and then color it. I simply leave the choice to the students because s/he has to know and get the information about that 'note' him/herself. By using this tecnique, students feel more secure and connected to the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not use any tool to assess the learning style of my students . I try to talk to them about their goals and interests. I also try to watch the students out of the classroom context in order to understand how they collaborate with each other in the playground . However the tools that are proposed and were shown throughout the course seem very interesting in helping the teacher to develop a more personalized education.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is really important assess the strengths and weaknesses in students' abilities, so we can go back to what students need most. It is also possible to enhance collaborative work, maximizing the time effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
Paying attention to the class which students are talking, which one are moving around and which ones quietly listen - you have to look for clues in class and in a students work to help determine how to personalize learning. There are inventories students can take to help determine their learning preferences; taking a mulitiple intelligence questionnaire can help them reflect on the environment and format of content and how they take in new information and process it. Students with SEN usually have a wealth of information from their formal evaluation that can tell a teacher about their learning styles preferences. A trip to the office to read a student's file and talking to counselors, coaches and other teachers helps build the bigger picture of a student. And don't forget to talk directly with the student they appreciate a teacher taking the time to get to know them and work with them to make learning the subject more accessible.

I find learning style of my students using questionnaires, surveys, tests and learning dyaries.

# data[].attributes.body
I try to provide opportunities for all learning styles in my classes as I personally believe to deliver material in a manner tailored to the individual all the time deprives them of the opportunity to grow. Yes a student might find that reading notes is the best way of learning material but that doesn't help with key competences. Other learning styles that that student finds more challenging should be fostered.

At the beginning of each school year we give to students specialized tests to identify students' own learning style ( auditory, visual , basically ) . After interpretation of tests by councilor psihipedagogic we putin the catalog for each student learning styles.

I think it’s very important finding learning styles of each student, because every child processes new information in a different way.

So, I think that the questionnaire is  the most important learning styles of my students: auditory ,visual and practical. Of course, I observed how they learn, how they answer the questions to see if they fit to the profile.

Then,  I tried to adapt my teaching to their syle as much as I could.

I think asking students how they like to learn it’s great, but not enough.

I gather information through classroom observation, discussions with students, surveys, test results and homework scores. I use results of external tests on literacy, numeracy, spatial intelligence to identify what type of learners there are. 'Learning to learn' is an important concept to develop with students as often they do not know how we learn best.

# data[].attributes.body
My students have their personal sites in which they show their own process of learning the best way they can. They add each activity carried out in bearing in mind their personal style, interetsts and preferences. They decorate and design their online portfolios as they wish and they even add the tasks they found meaningful.

I always have my blog to show students how to publish things and then they use their own to share their knowledge with the world. There is a variety of activities which cater for the different type of learners.

Here you'll find the links to some of my students' sites:

I've been working with my students for almost 7 years now - we started when they were in class 5 and now they are in class 11. For all these years being together I already know each one's style and type of remembering things. It has been a long observation on them. Next year I will have a new class and the whole procedure will start again. I personally think that careful observation over them is the best way to find out about their characteristics.

BY OBSERVING THEM WORKING INTO THE CLASS, I also use different approaches also the flipped classroom is a good choice and it helps.

In order to take the best from my students, I usually let them find out what is the best way for them to learn things.

What I do consists on showing all the possibilities and different methods of learning.

I believe this is the best way to let them find out the kind of learner they are.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a hard task, indeed.

I think a mix approach must work out, combining observation with tests and students point of view.

The best way to gather information about the learning style of pupils students is to observe them, to ask, to suggest and finally to obtain a common admitted good strategy for learning

I use some of these criteria to find out my students learning styles:

Auditory Learners; students with this style will be able to recall what they hear and will prefer oral instructions. They learn by listening and speaking. These students enjoy talking and interviewing. They are phonetic readers who enjoy oral reading, choral reading, and listening to recorded books.

Visual Learners; will be able to recall what they see and will prefer written instructions. These students are sight readers who enjoy reading silently. Better yet, present information to them with a video.

Tactile Learners; students with this strength learn best by touching. They understand directions that they write and will learn best through manipulatives. These students will also benefit from whole language approaches to reading.

Kinesthetic Learners; also learn by touching or manipulating objects. They need to involve their whole body in learning. They remember material best if they act it out.

Global Learners; are spontaneous and intuitive. They do not like to be bored. Information needs to be presented in an interesting manner using attractive materials. cooperative learning strategies and holistic reading methods work well with these learners.

Analytic Learners; plan and organize their work. They focus on details and are logical. They are phonetic readers and prefer to work individually on activity sheets.

Even students with similar learning styles benefit when instruction is tailored to their learning preferences and personal interests. Two strategies may help discover these preferences and interests. One strategy focuses on how students use their learning outside school; we as teachers might use it to complete meaningful and comprehensive assessments so that we can design learning activities and objectives for each student. The other strategy helps us as teachers to collect information about students' learning histories, so that one teacher's efforts can begin where other teachers have left off.

I prefer to start a discussion on my blog prepared with the app blogger about the topic that will be learned one week later. The students write their background knowledge about this topic or subject. The students also try to guess the activities and how they want to learn the subject. Then, I prepare a scenario and try to include most of the learning activities that the students have written troughout the week, and include at least the most interesting and funny ones.In this way, I learn the level of knowledge of each student, their learning styles, their interests and other critical and important details.

I think that it’s important to know the learning styles of my students but I have not good strategies to identify them. I observe my students but I'd like to identify the
cognitive style of my students with a scientific method . Probably the
questionnaires may be helpful. I got the addresses provided by some colleagues in the padlet. I also would like to deepen the methods that fit the cognitive styles
of the students . The flipped classroom seems to be a good proposal for personalising
learning.

I think, maybe, only older students are able to identify their own learning style. Younger students are not able to identify their learning style. Based on this, I think working with tablets enable to identify learning style by observation if we let them set different apps to work in projects, probably they choice apps according to their learning style (videos, presentations, documents, …) Of course our role is identify how they learn better attending to results, understanding,… Observing is one of the best tool and Multiple Intelligences theory help us to identify what students need for improve  their skills.
