Learning & Teaching Styles LO26142

Replying to LO26139 --

Steve,

When I was an Army OD consultant, one of the exercises we went through was
to identify our learning styles as a self-knowledge approach designed to
increase our awareness thus become better consultants (okay, so that was
the intent!) . . . and we did our MBTI's and Firo B's as well. I
naturally took that approach as I have trained facilitators so they could
have more awareness of their particular preferences and how it impacted
the way they worked.

Given the preponderance of MBTI knowledge, I assume that there are
probably many undergrad and graduate level courses that produce "teachers"
that at least do an MBTI, perhaps as an Ed Psych course exercise. There is
a good deal of research on typology--chances there are some studies on
this that you can explore via a good lit review search.

Best,
Sandy Wells
