Learning styles

obligatory courses

The purpose of the course is to familiarize students with different typologies of learning and teaching styles and methods of diagnosing them. Participants learn what are the differences among styles of teaching and what are the most suitable and effective methods of work for learning.

Students learn about the different typologies of teaching styles and learning styles. They learn the recognition methods, characteristics and working methods specific to each learning style. They will also find out how the communication processes are running and how these can be disturbed.

Classes emphasize active forms of work and teamwork. Students have opportunities to practice a variety of educational and social situations with the group, so they can better understand their leader style and their preferred learning style. Students in the classes diagnose own learning style, learn how to cope with stress during tests, and also - how to plan classes with a group if participants prefer different learning styles.
