The College of Education for Pure Sciences organizes a training course on identifying learning styles according to the 4MAT learning model.
The Mathematics Department at the College of Education for Pure Sciences organized a training course entitled “Identifying Learning Styles According to the 4MAT Learning Model.”
The course was presented by:
Assistant Lecturer Farah Aboud
Assistant Lecturer Hala Khudair
Assistant Lecturer Fatima Salim
This course aimed to focus on learning styles and how to accommodate them in the classroom. The 4MAT model categorizes learners into four main styles, each with a preferred method of learning and understanding.
The course covered several topics related to learning styles. The first style is the imaginative learner, who prefers learning through experience, discussion, and asking “why?” questions. The second style is the analytical learner, who relies on logical thinking and understanding concepts and theories, and asks “what?” questions. The third style is the practical or applied learner, who focuses on experimentation and practical application and asks “how?” questions. The fourth learning style is that of the dynamic learner, who tends to innovate, explore, and learn through experience, and is interested in the “what if?” question.
The researchers recommended focusing on such topics to integrate the 4MAT learning model into mathematics curricula. They also recommended training teachers to implement the four learning styles in a balanced way within the classroom and diversifying teaching methods and approaches to accommodate individual student differences.
