Finding a framework is proving very difficult without the guidance of my supervisor due to my extension over the christmas break. Below was my previous thoughts on it, suggesting that if I could find a diagram and then also create the same but more visually, then I could create a set of defining qualities that set them apart. Maybe how the visualisation was more dynamic versus the simple line diagram.
Learning Styles Again: VARKing up the right tree!. Educational Developments
However, I was starting to doubt that it would suffice. So following research and journal reading I have come across the 3 learning styles that were developed by Neil Fleming(2006). He came up with the theory that “The use of learning strategies that are aligned with a modality preferences is also likely to lead to persistence learning tasks, a deeper approach to learning, active and effective meta-cognition ” Meaning that if more visual leanring aids to text based work then it could be very beneficial to the visual learner themselves. This goes hand in hand with the theory created by Kolb that after experiencing classroom experiments or viewing visual stimuli student “create concepts that integrate their observations into logically sounds theories”. These concepts or models could then be tested and built upon leading me to think that this could be a great place to build upon my framework,
The
Lewinian Experiential Learning Model (Kolb 1983)
Here is the diagram adopted by Kolb to describe the process explained above, using this in tandem with how Fleming created the framework to denote a visual learner could really give me something to measure my work against.
