The term “learning styles” is a description of the attitudes, behaviors and actions that define us in ways that are best suited for learning. Many of us would really have to push on to determine which learning style suits them exactly. Although each of us can answer basic questions such as whether their picture speaks more than words or texts are the ones who enable them are well organized thoughts, or even need to hear what you have to learn how to make the information was permanently adopted. Often happens to combine two different types of learning to get the most from both. Learning styles, the survey based on David Kolb on experiential learning cycle, they say that people, on this basis, can be divided into: the activists, thinkers (reflectors), theorists and pragmatists. This model is based on a four-step learning process in which:
- immediate and concrete experiences become the basis for…
- … observation and opinion, which is distilled in…
- … abstract concepts that enable connectivity with existing and which may be…
- … actively tested, producing a new experience.
Simply, the first stage of learning is gaining concrete experience, the second is observation of others present and reflect on this experience, the third linking these experiences with existing knowledge at our disposal, while the fourth phase of implementation of these experiences and acquiring new ones.

For years, home education was considered as caprice of radical parents. Today in America more and more parents withdraw their children from outdated traditional systems of education and opt for home education. 15% is the rate of increase in home education on an annual basis.
Parents take responsibility for their children’s education. It was formerly an exclusive task of the state. Children were first realized that their state school is not responsible and that they are denying that a lot. The traditional system of education was made for less than 1/3 children, and to others 2/3 pupils is not responding. And they are forced to follow the legacy of teaching from the industrial era.
In America, children who are educated in “home industries” wins the competitions in the native language.
Why parents resort to alternative systems of education? They realized that children are taught mighty memorizing useless information, which is very quickly forgotten. Thus, learning is directing on forgetting. Children are denied education. Do not need the economy, they realize when they have a diploma in hand, all this “knowledge” as useless because they are archaic.
The world is rapidly changing. The greatest skill is just quickly learning skills new things and immediate application of knowledge. In the 21st century every man will be the poor who do not know how to learn quickly and learned to apply NOW! Diploma in any faculty will be able to compensate for this skill. The accelerated learning skills to be learned, like everything else in life.
The question is who do not respond on childen who think quickly and creatively?
We’d like to thank Miss Sue Lang on this great article.
