Learning Styles [Nov 01, 1998] Lefever, Marlene

Do you ever wonder why Jeffrey talks all of the time?Or why Toni can't sit still? Or why Alex loves work sheets?Or why Jordan is always trying something new?Learning Styles answers these questions and more. Effective learning follows a natural four-step process that answers these four and #149; WHY DO I NEED THIS?and #149; WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT MY NEED?and #149; HOW DOES WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ACTUALLY WORK?and #149; HOW WILL I USE WHAT I HAVE LEARNED?By answering each of these questions, we will appeal to the four learning Imaginative, Analytic, Common Sense, and Dynamic. A learning style is the way in which a person sees or perceives things best and then uses that knowledge. When we understand learning styles and adjust our teaching or parenting to those styles, we begin reaching everyone God gives us to teach.A wonderful book capable of teaching us how we learn . . . and what to do with all that knowledge once we've learned it. Practical, helpful, and an eye-opening book for all of us in the teaching trade and #151;from mothers to professors! I heartily recommend this be a must for your bookshelf.JILL BRISCOE, AUTHOR, SPEAKERLearning Styles displays Marlene LeFever at her best. Few people see others in terms of their learning capability. Fewer still dedicate themselves to the study of how understanding occurs. Marlene long ago grabbed my attention and admiration with her teaching skills. Her insights deserve thoughtful reading by every teacher and meaningful discussion in every teacher training meeting. Learning should stir up pleasure and she shows us how.HOWARD G. HENDRICKS, CHAIRMANCENTER FOR CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP DALLAS THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. . . great teachers and preachers throughout the history of the church have realized the importance of answering the why, what, so what, and how questions.... The author has isolated and tied these elements to the teaching context so that their incorporation will be purposeful. Anyone involved in the communication process will be benefitted by Learning Styles....DR. TONY EVANS, PASTOROAK CLIFF BIBLE FELLOWSHIP DALLAS, TEXASEasy reading, but not simplistic. Many authors ask hard questions; Marlene dares to suggest answers.... We now have no excuse for careless teaching.MICHAEL S. LAWSON, PH D., PRESIDENTPROFESSIONAL ASSOC. OF CHRISTIAN EDUCATORS (PACE)
