Learning/Study Preferences
for (E)xtraverted Law Students
Adapted from Gordon Lawrence, People Types and Tiger Stripes 43
(1992).
Cognitive Style:
The extraverted law student favors a cognitive style that involves: |
- learning by talking and physically engaging the environment,
- letting attention flow outward toward objective events,
- talking to help thoughts form and become clear, and
- learning through interactions, verbal and non-verbal.
|
Study Style:
The extraverted law student favors a study style that involves: |
- acting first and reflecting after,
- plunging into a new material,
- starting interactions needed to stimulate reflection and concentration,
- having a strong, interesting, external-extraverted reason for
studying beyond learning for its own sake,
- avoiding distractions that will cut into their concentration,
- studying with a friend, and
- studying to prepare to teach someone.
|
Instruction that fits E's
Extraverted law students do their best work when: |
- there are opportunities to "think out loud" for example,
one-to one with the teacher, classroom discussions, working with another
student on projects,
- learning activities that have an effect outside the learner,
such as visible results from a project,
- teachers who manage classroom dialogue so that extraverts have
ways to clarify their ideas before they add them to class discussion, and
- assignments that let them see what other people are doing and
what they regard as important.
