What are the different learning styles and why are paper resources useful?

  • We learn using one or more of the following styles, either by watching (visual learners), by listening (auditory learners) or by doing (kinesthetic learners). 
  • With more & more online learning occurring, the learning styles are focused more on watching and listening, rather than doing.
  • Using a paper resource requires a student to first read what they are being asked to do, follow some instructions, and show some working or write down an answer.
  • Research shows that the act of writing (doing), engages the brain in the learning process, by stimulating your brain to be more actively involved in the learning process. 
  • Typing or using touch on an ipad, on the other hand, involves just pressing or selecting identical looking keys.
  • When using online resources, it if often difficult for anyone to go back and check the work to determine why answers were incorrect. 
  • With a paper based resource, you have a permanent record that can be reviewed anytime.
  • So ….. let’s get back to basics and use good old fashioned pen & paper … as well as the modern devices available!!
