General Studies · Learning Styles

Honey and Mumford classified learning styles into four categories: Theorists, Reflectors, Activists, and Pragmatists. Match these styles to the following descriptions: 1. Shaun likes to understand basic principles and take a hands-off approach based on logical argument. He wants structured training run by teachers. 2. Louise needs to work at her own pace and tends to be fairly slow and cautious. She likes to observe, think, and produce well-considered conclusions. 3. Susan only likes to study if she can see a link to a real practical problem. She likes on-the-job training but discards ideas needing development. 4. Tony is flexible and optimistic but lacks patience with theories. He wants hands-on training and enjoys practical problems.
