There are two styles of learners: analytical and global. Here’s a look at the global learner’s traits.
1. Sees the big picture. Global learners look for the main ideas and relationships.
2. Appreciates quiet time.
3. Wants to know the expectations on tasks and projects.
4. Sensitive to criticism.
5. Performs as a team player rather than a competitor; readily shares ideas.
6. Ideas grow randomly.
7. Appreciates praise.
8. Prefers tests with essays and requests for sharing opinions rather than true-false and multiple choice options.
9. Detests timed tests.
10. Math is an impersonal subject; in reading the global often skims and goes back for details.
11. Procrastinates.
The next blog will address how to merge the two. Is that even possible?
