Accommodator learning Style
This learning style
is characterized by a reliance of feelings in making judgments. The learner is
also keen on how to best solve problems based on their own unique nature as
opposed to relying on theory.
Also, the accommodator learning style lays
emphasis on an analytical, conceptual approach in the learning process. Logical
thinking and rational evaluation of a particular problem is also common among
the accommodator learner.
Kolb describes this learner as an adaptive risk taker
whose greatest strength is his/her active involvement in activities and new
experiences. To best exploit this learning style, Knowles, Holton and Swanson
(2005) suggest that the adult instructor should give tasks that encourage
independent discovery by the student.
This will not only allow the student to
become an active participant in the learning process but it will also make use
of one of the strengths of accommodators which is their intuitive nature in
learning.
