Learner Characteristics
No two students are the same. This definitely applies to Mrs. Browns unique 6A group.
As all good teachers do, Mrs. Brown conducted a learning styles inventory at the beginning of
the nine weeks (see Appendix B). I wanted to conduct another one, but do to the time constraints
and Mrs. Brown only being able to allow me three days to work with her on this unit, we decided
to go with the one she had completed a few weeks earlier to meet the needs of the students. The
following table shows the learner's learning style inventory.
The learning styles inventory allowed us to see what type of activities we needed to plan
for to meet every learner's needs. After reviewing the learning styles inventory for each student I
noticed all three styles were very similar in range. Of the 24 students, 9 were tactile learners, 8
were auditory learners, and seven were visual learners. The lessons planned were to meet the
needs of each type of learner.
