Interpersonal style
involves collaborative and team learning and the interpersonal learner prefers
learning about himself/herself and the effect that he/she has on other people
lives. Interpersonal learning involves the sensing of the physical nature of
the world.
This is then used as a mode of perception which is implemented in
the judgment and decision making process. Interpersonal learners therefore seek
to extend the physical sensations they perceive into images and emotions.
As
such, these learners are predisposed to connecting the new information they
acquire to their own body of personal experiences (Rothwell, 2008).
Interpersonal learning involves inculcating a sense of belonging and a reason
to believe that each learner is a part of the team which works together in a
mutually beneficial manner.
The human touch in the delivery of information
(knowledge) for the interpersonal learner is very important and for this
reason, the teacher plays a very significant role in the learning process.
MacKeracher (2004, p.142) reinforces this assertion by her observation that
"interpersonal students are strongly motivated by the quality of their
relationship to the teacher, other students, parents and friends".
