3. Gregoric model : Based on perception and ordering
The Gregoric model is based on two parts: the way we take information,
and the way we process information. The styles of this model are the following:
- Concrete Sequential
These learners like to apply ideas in a practical way and focus on facts.
They work well with deadlines because they work systematically step
by step. They have the ability to produce concrete products from abstract
ideas. They work alone and they want to know what is expected of them.
Finally, they like asking questions where there is a specific "yes or
no" answer.
How to learn:
- Having a schedule in your study is something that makes perfect
sense to you, so break down your work in tasks. A good idea also
is to put your tasks in time limits.
- Applying theory in real-life problems, by paying attention in
case studies, and using simulation systems (e.g multimedia products).
- Abstract Sequential
They like to analyze ideas, to research, in order to explain with well-researched
information and logical reasoning. They learn more by watching than
by doing. They also like to examine a subject in depth and repeat the
same tasks over and over. Finally they are not diplomatic since they
like to monopolize the conversation.
How to learn:
- While you research in depth a subject, you should pay attention
in the deadline of your work. Do not forget that the depth in which
you examine your subject depends also on the time you have. As a
result you need a schedule to organize better your work.
- You enjoy learning through research, so look for other sources
to extend your knowledge like web sites, books, journals, papers.
- Abstract Random
These learners listen to others and try to understand the feelings and
emotions. They can recognize the emotional needs of others, and bring
harmony when cooperating with others. As a result it is important for
them to maintain friendly relationships with everyone if possible. They
personalize their learning and focus on general principles. They think
with their heart and not with their head so it is difficult for them
to explain or justify their feelings. They try hard to give exact details,
accept even positive criticism and focus on one thing at a time.
How to learn:
- You have the charisma of good communication and interaction with
the other people. As a result a very good way to acquire knowledge
is by interviewing experts or participating in newsgroups on Internet.
You should process carefully and check the validity of the information
coming from other people by cross-examine sources.
- You are the style of learner who learns with cooperation and discussion
so take the initiative to create groups of studying with your colleagues.
- Concrete Random
This style of learner thinks fast and has the ability to see many options
and solutions to problems. They also use insight and instinct to solve
problems. They do not like restrictions, limitations, deadlines, formal
reports, routines, repeating tasks, keep detail in records and show
how they got an answer.
How to learn:
- You give solutions to problems quickly based on your instinct.
But most of the times you do not need only a quick solution, but
also a right one. Try to take in to considerations all the factors
of a problem by studying similar case studies, (since pure theory
is not your learning style), and discussing with experts.
