Ways of learning

Kinesthetic, auditive and visual preferences

Kinauvis preferences I use to figure out how to initially approach people with, giving clues for what might work and what not for training and facilitating a particular person or group. And of course, it's only a model, so after that I use appreciative inquiry or focused conversation to find, together with stakeholders, what works and what does not work.

Integrated learners use combinations of these preferences, depending ...

:-) Kinesthetic Auditive Visual
Learning Learns through manipulating tools and actually doing Dialogues both internally and externally; may try alternatives verbally first Needs overall view and purpose and a vision for details; cautious until mentally clear
Recall Remembers overall impressions of experiences Remembers what was discussed Remembers what was seen
Conversation Uses gestures and movements and action words Loves discussions Has to have the whole picture in detail
Spelling Counts letters with body movements and checks with internal feelings

 

Through inner ear, spells with rythmic movement

Through inner vision, or by writing and checking back

Reading Reflects action of story with body movement Enjoys reading aloud and then listening; often slow because of subvocalising Flows like a charm
Writing Handwriting can be a problem Likes to (inner) talk while writing Having it look attractive is considered important
Imagination Acts imagery out walking through the landscapes that unfold; An excellent mode for perspecting Sounds and voices, compositions, nature, deeper moods appear; An excellent mode for retrospecting Vivid imagery, can see possibilities, details readily appear; An excellent mode for long term planning, or prospecting
