Assimilator Learning Style
With this learning
style, the dominant learning abilities exhibited are an analytical conceptual
approach to learning combined with a tentative, impartial approach to learning
(Rose, Kasworm & Ross-Gordon, 2010).
McLoughlin (1999) reveals that
learners who use this learning style are adept to using abstract concepts and
are motivated to find out what there is to learn about a particular subject. In
relation to other people, the Assimilator shows little interest in people.
They
however have a high regard for expert knowledge on the subject of interest and
will therefore be more interested in authoritative sources on a subject other
than random explorations in the aim of landing on a correct answer. As has been
suggested, assimilator learning style requires accurate delivery of information
from a knowledgeable source. Lectures might therefore be a very useful method
of delivering information.
The provision of additional resources that the
student can follow up on is also important since the assimilator learner does
not enjoy random explorations in search of answers.
