Information - Processing Model

Students learn and process information differently. There are four learning categories. They are, concrete sequential learners, Concrete random learners, Abstract sequential learners and abstract random learners.
Concrete sequential learners learn better with direct hands on experiences such as structured laboratory exercises, demonstrations, computer based instruction, and workbooks.
Concrete random learners learn from trial and error or from exploratory experiences. They learn best from discovery learning, projects, independent study, simulations and games.
Abstract sequential learners learn best by decoding symbolic and verbal messages in logical sequence. They do well with reading and listening to presentations.
Abstract random learners learn best from human mediated presentations. They respond to the style and tone of the speaker. It is best to use audiovisual learning experiences, question and answer periods, lectures, and group discussions.
