− | <div class=teaser-text>Learning styles are different and when using methods, that address different senses or ways of expression we may have a bigger impact on the learning outcome of our participants. The challenge is that everybody feels attracted, although not all share the same bias concerning methods. Therefore we advocate for a mix of different methods. Beyond personal preferences creative and diversified learning arrangements that address different senses stimulate participants' motivation. </div> | + | <div class=teaser-text>Learning preferences vary. Methods that offer variety and provide opportunities for all in the way they are delivered support inspiring and rewarding learning experiences. A good mix and variety also responds to the different phases and dynamics of a learning process.</div> |

| ==Balancing Diverse Needs== | | ==Balancing Diverse Needs== |
− | A variety of methods in your training can correspond to the diverse needs of your target group. The challenge is to get the attention of all your participants, despite their differing needs and preferences concerning the methods. This is less a question of what kind of competencies are being addressed than of preferred learning styles and ways of incorporating knowledge. Recognizing people’s diversity we advocate for a balance - creative and diversified learning arrangements that address different senses and stimulate participants’ motivation. For example: | + | A variety of methods in your training can correspond to the diverse needs of your target group.

| So after a phase of playfulness, seriousness helps us to refocus.

| Learning is a balanced circle of a learners activity ("breath out") and a more passive observing/reflecting role ("breath in"). Both need to be balanced and you might mix methods that address active experimentation with those that allow observation and reflection. After active involvement participants need a relaxation phase. After input participants wish often to become active again. | | Learning is a balanced circle of a learners activity ("breath out") and a more passive observing/reflecting role ("breath in").
