Trainee Sara is unhappy in her current training programme, because it is too 'hands on'： she is required to attempt techniques before she has had a chance to study the underlying principles first. She spends the evenings trying to read ahead in the course textbook.Which of Honey and Mumford's learning styles is probably Sara's preferred style?
A、Reflector
B、Pragmatist
C、Theorist
A、Reflector
B、Pragmatist
C、Theorist
【参考答案及解析】
Rationale: The Theorist seeks to understand basic principles and to take an intellectual, 'handsoff' approach prior to trying things. Pragmatists are the opposite. You may have hesitated over option A, but Reflectors learn by thinking things through, rather than necessarily by applying theoretical concepts.Pitfalls: This is an area ripe for exam questions, because of the clarity of the style classifications. Make sure you can identify the label to go with a description and vice versa.Ways in: You could probably rule out Pragmatist quite quickly, because of Sara's dislike of 'hands on' methods.
