Learning style quadrants -continued
Teaching Around the 4MAT Cycle is a fascinating book describing different learning styles. I posted a blog article describing the Learning Cycle.
The 4MAT Learning Cycle can be seen like a clock with 4 quadrants.
After Quadrant Two at 3:00, we continue moving around the cycle to the bottom at 6:00 where we have Quadrant Three, the “It” quadrant (page 18 of the above book). The “It” is concrete. It is an action, something the student must do. It is something to be practiced, multiple and structured practices. The student must follow steps leading them to expertise in the future.
Finally, we move back towards the top of the learning cycle, back towards 12:00. This is Quadrant Four, the “We” quadrant. Students adapt learning to their world and use that learning to influence their future (page 19). Students extend themselves with their new learning into a wider dialogue.
