Incorporating Learning Style in Accounting Courses
I find it difficult to incorporate creative ways of using different learning styles in accounting courses. The auditory learners do well with my lectures and the written word learners can read the text prior to attending class. Sometimes it is difficult to give a wide variety to the visual learners but I always demonstrate problem examples on the board. The tactile learners get to practice problems on their own in class to actually practice and work through what they are learning.
Does anyone have other ideas to incorporate more variety for the learning styles?
Hi Melanie- Forming groups with diverse learning styles makes it even more interesting and gives students experience with working in teams that in their careers will almost always be diverse. Best wishes- Susan
Group problems can add to the learning styles for all types. Visual learners can see the problem or case study, auditory learners can hear others in the group discuss the problem, and the tactile learners can get hands on experience. It is actually a good exercise for all learners. Plus students get a feel for how their fellow students learn.
