This view of learning styles
deals with multiple interacting preferences and focuses on setting up the
environment to fit the learner. There are two measurement tools that may
be used:
- Productivity Environmental Preference Survey (PEPS) - for adults
- Dunn & Dunn Learning Styles Inventory - for K-12
These instruments measure four types of learning.
- Sociological preferences such as authority figures and groups
- Environmental preferences such as seating, light, temperature, and
sound
- Emotional preferences such as motivation, persistence, need for
structure, and need for breaks
- Physical preferences such as time of day, mobility, and intake (e.g.,
eating and drinking)
The question is how many of these preferences can actually be within
the control of the instructor!
