3. Introduction
○ Learning styles
influenced by many factors such as individual experience, different intelligences and personality factors
such as a preference for learning alone or in a group
○ Why study learning styles?
Be more productive, creative, effectively and Improve problem solving
○ VAK theory
Visual (Learning through seeing..), Auditory (Learning through listening..) and Kinesthetic or Tactile
(Learning through moving, doing and touching..)
○ Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
The fundamental assumption of The 4MAT Model, that humans learn and develop through
continuous, personal adaptations as they construct meaning in their lives
○ Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory model
Concrete Experience, Reflective Observation, Abstract Conceptualization and Active Experimentation

4. Objective
The objective of learning is to understand information intended to be
learned. According to Brown (2000) learning styles is defined as the
manner in which individuals perceive and process information in
learning situations" (Journal of Studies in Education, 2012).

13. Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
❖ Step 1 (Quadrant 1 Right): to engage the learner
in a Concrete experience which leads to a
search of prior knowledge and prior experience.
In this step the teacher encourages
diversification of ideas, dialogue and
participation
13

14. Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
❖ Step 2 (Quadrant 1 Left):the teacher engages student
reflection upon their existing level of their knowledge and
experience to determine if their opinions and beliefs are
supportable.
In quadrant one (right and left) the goal is engagement.
However, in quadrant one left the teacher’s role is to
assist student as they explain and outline their thinking.
14

15. Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
❖ Step 3 (Quadrant 2 Right): to create a
context for the learner to represent the
subjective nature of his/her existing
knowledge
encouraged to symbolize and Image
making etc.
learner switching from reflective
experience to reflective thinking
15

16. Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
❖ Step 4 (Quadrant 2 Left): engages
students in objective thinking Focus
on analysis of verifiable concepts,
facts, generalizations and theories.
role of the teacher is to present
information and experience in
complete and systematic ways
16

17. Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
❖ Step 5 (Quadrant 3 Left):emphasis shifts
from acquisition and assimilation to
testing and adaptation Students now take
the lead to apply what has been taught
The teacher’s role here is coaching and
assisting as students refine their ability to
find applications of their ideas.
17

18. Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
❖ Step 6 (Quadrant 3 Right): the student tests the limits
and contradictions of his/her understanding.
The teacher’s role is to encourage students to take the
application of learned ideas to more sophisticated,
personal levels.
Students are encouraged to develop their own
applications which demonstrate that they understand
and can apply what has been learned.
Project work is the essence of this phase of the 4MAT
Model
18

19. Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
❖ Step 7 (Quadrant 4 Left): to critically examine the place
of the newly acquired knowledge and experience in
his/her existing world view.
Working alone or preferably in pairs and triads, refine
their work.
The teacher’s role here is to guide the refinement of the
old schema and encourage the formation of
a more complete perspective.
Objective: Evaluating for Usefulness and Application
19

20. Bernice McCarthy’s 4MAT system
❖ Step 8 (Quadrant 4 Right): integration, celebration and
closure. the learner returns to the place where he/she
began, the self, and integrates the learning experience
This is the step where presentations are given, where
letters are mailed and research reports submitted.
The teacher’s role is to join in the celebration and
facilitate entry into the next unit of study.

21. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory Model
❖ It's often easier to see the construction of Kolb's learning styles in terms of a two-by-two matrix:
21

22. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory Model
1. Diverging
These individuals see things from different
perspectives and can use their imagination
to show creativity in their learning styles.
People with a diverging style, prefer to
watch rather than do and their learning
characteristic is reflective observation and
concrete experience.
22

23. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory Model
2. Converging
They can analyze and explore learning styles model well. More than the people, they
show interest in technical tasks with a logical format and conceptual framework.
Their main characteristics mostly include reflective observation and abstract
conceptualization.
23

24. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory Model
3. Assimilating
24
They are efficient problem-solvers and are
considered as being practical in their
analytic approach to tasks and ideas. They
are likely to converge on their desired
answers and are characterized by active
experimentation and abstract
conceptualization.

25. Kolb’s Learning Style Inventory Model
4. Accommodating
They are more likely to be more practical in their learning experience and they
mostly view problems from an intuitive perspective. These people may depend a lot
on their gut feeling. They are fond of new-found challenges and are mostly
characterized by active experimentation and concrete learning.
