Background Information Out of Carl Jung's model of psychological type came the work of Isabel Myers who developed the most family application of Jung's model--the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. While Jung developed the model of personality type and Myers applied it, another generation of researchers have worked through its implications and discovered how it can be successfully applied to education. Key researchers include Anthony Gregorc, David Kolb, Bernice McCarthy, and others. All of these learning style researchers work is marked by a similar focus on the process of learning. Unlike multiple intelligences, a model concerned primarily with the content or the "what" of learning. styles focus on the "how" of learning. Through learning styles, we can talk about the way individuals learn and how their preferences for certain types of thinking processes affect their learning behaviors. |
