LEARNING STYLES Paul Ginnis A Power Point I

LEARNING STYLES Paul Ginnis A Power. Point I use with Lower KS 2 that can be adapted for any age.

Learning Styles Paul Ginnis wrote the popular “The Teacher’s Toolkit” published in 2002. His learning styles questionnaire builds on Dr. Anthony Gregorc’s Mind Styles.

Learning Styles Ginnis’s learning styles questionnaire surveys your preferences. It asks you to order statements by scoring. You add up your score to see the ranking of your learning style preferences. I have used Ginnis’s survey on KS 2 children, staff and family. Everyone is always interested in their results. Some have commented on their preferences: how they fit with friends and partners, or how their preferences have changed over time.
