Diversity of learning styles as a teacher's challenge
Paper

Presenter(s): Manca Pezelj Berger
Presentation will be in Slovene language.

In their career, teachers get to know co-workers, many children and their parents. In the process of learning, there are so many people (the most important is the triangle students-teacher-parents) who are different and play an important role in the life of an elementary school student. The differences between them need to be considered and well understood. Conversations about learning and learning styles help to shed light on school problems, understand different views on them better and enrich oneself professionally. Fourth graders already recognize their learning style, which must be considered and encouraged by the teacher. The teacher needs to formulate a concept of styles to adapt teaching to students. Popular learning styles make learning more enjoyable, contribute to more knowledge and better grades, and enrich pedagogical practice. When learning styles match, everyone gains in the process of education, which is best shown at the end of the year in learning success and in the knowledge quality of an individual. When we draw the line under each completed year and add up the good and bad things in the learning process, something is clear: each school year we come up with new experiences together with students and find out how generations of children can be different and how each generation of children, with a respectful attitude towards them and considering their abilities, can constructively shape the process of education. It is a mutual influence that a good and constantly teachable educator must not overlook.
