Three Characteristics Assessed with Berry’s Learning Style
What is a learning style?
A learning style is a combination of characteristics which helps
describe the preferred way for a person to learn something new.
Because there are different degrees of each characteristic, they
are as many different combinations of styles as there are different
people. The categories described by Berry’s Learning Styles
Assessment are merely general descriptions about individuals.
A person is not confined to certain behavior and can change their
style if they so choose or their style may alter as they age.
Why use a learning style assessment?
The more we know about ourselves, the better we can adapt to
the things we want to do in our lives. Having some idea about
how we learn helps us choose tools and environments that will
make the learning process as natural for us as possible. For students,
it gives them greater success with and control over their study
environment. For educators, it provides insight for being more
effective and helping students help themselves.
