THE DUNN and DUNN LEARNING STYLE MODEL
This model was developed by Dr. Kenneth and Rita Dunn. They defined
learning style as “the way in which each individual learner begins to
concentrate on, process, absorb and retain new and different information ”.
According to this model, there are at least 22 items in the learning
preferences menu and these are grouped under five major categories:
environmental, physiological, social, emotional and psychological. It defines
learning style as the sum of an individual learning preferences in all those
categories.
A. ENVIRONMENTAL surroundings * Sound : quiet, loud * Light : low, bright * Temperature : cool, warm * Design : formal, informal B. EMOTIONAL needs * Motivation : intrinsic, extrinsic * Responsibility: conforming, noncomforming * Persistence : stable, unstable * Structure: have to, must C. SOCIOLOGICAL needs * Self: individualist * Pair: working in pairs * Peer: learn with a group * Team: colleagues * Adult: authority * Varied: in any combination D. PHYSICAL needs * Perceptual : visual, auditory, tactile, kinaesthetic * Intake * Time of Day * Mobility E. PSYCHOLOGICAL abilities * Analytic * Global * Impulsive * Reflective
