How We Learn and Why We Don't: The Cognitive Profile Model: A Workshop In Teaching To Reach Your Students

Abstract

Research at Clemson University has established the validity of the Cognitive Profile Model for individual differences in learning. Students who take the inventory and use the recommended study techniques show a statistically significant improvement in grades. Application of the model to teaching strategies is a natural following. The author has used teaching strategies based on the Cognitive Profile Model for many years with success, and regularly shares the model and teaching strategies in workshops for faculty at colleges and high schools.
