“…By examining the Dale's Cone of Experience, it can be observed, that Dale has used all the primary biological factors that have effects on individual's knowledge acquisition process (Fatt 2000). According to (Auer,2008) the five senses approach endeavors to awaken long dormant sensory experiences of nature and use those experiences to learn and is a useful biological advantage that helps reinforcing conventional learning.…”

Over the years, technology has revolutionized our world and the utilization of advanced technologies in any industry has recorded better results. The usability of cutting-edge technologies in the teachinglearning process is redefining the role of educators and reshaping learning experiences. Augmented Reality (AR), a technology that augments the real world with realistic virtual information, in various form of multimedia content, provides new possibilities for the educational domain. The information delivery with Augmented Reality (AR) engages most of the sensory channels that intensifies the effectiveness of teaching-learning process and creates a more appealing learning environment. This paper, with the discussion of the AR Globe project, aims to provide an introduction to the Augmented Reality (AR) technology's implementation into real-life environment, to assess the potential of the technology in educational settings by outlining the attitude of learners towards the use of immersive multimedia content in their learning mediums.

“…They tend to memorize in picture format. They prefer to take extensive notes and like to have supplementary visual information such as hand-outs, videos and micro film (Poon Teng Fatt, 2000). In a music lesson, these students tend to grasp the lesson when the teacher demonstrates the specific technique.…”

“…The auditory learner gains and retains their information after hearing it. They learn best through verbal lectures, discussions, talking things through and/or listening to what others have to say (Poon Teng Fatt, 2000). Auditory learners interpret the underlying meanings of music through listening to tone, pitch, speed and other nuances (Gardner, 1983).…”

Improving studio music teaching through understanding learning styles

The role of a studio music teacher is a delicate balance of creativity and organization. In a one-on-one setting a teacher must guide a student through the physical challenges of playing an instrument as well as conveying the abstract notions of music and aesthetics. The goal of guiding a student into becoming a fine musician is universal, but teaching approaches differ. In this article I propose using learning style models as a teaching framework. The use of learning style models in the classroom is not a new idea, but the music lesson provides a unique setting for the assessment and implementation of these models. By identifying a student's dominant learning style, a teacher can more effectively develop an individualized pedagogical approach for each student. The models can be used to organize a teacher's curriculum as well as provide a framework for new and creative teaching ideas.

“…Nowadays, the concept of learning style in the learning environments is at the foreground. The learning style is a concept that arises from the view that each individual may have different ways of accessing information (Pashler, McDaniel, Rohrer, & Bjork, 2009) and this term has recently entered into the terminology of learning as an extension of David A. Kolb's "experiential learning theory" (Peker, 2003;Poon Teng Fatt, 2000). Kolb (1984) refers to learning styles as generalized differences in learning orientations.…”

Öz Öğrenme stillerini önceden belirlemek, öğrenme ortamının tasarımında, öğretim üyesinin ders içeriğini hazırlamasında ve özellikle öğrencinin öğrenme sürecinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Kolb Öğrenme Stilleri Envanteri (KÖSE), öğrenme stillerini belirlemede en yaygın kullanılan araçlardan birisidir; ancak diğer araştırmalar, ölçekler veya psikolojik testlerde olduğu gibi KÖSE'nin de uygulama ve değerlendirme aşamalarında, soruların yanlış anlaşılması veya boş geçilmesi gibi bazı problemlerle karşılaşılabilir. Bu çalışmada; makine öğrenmesi teknikleri ve KÖSE Versiyon III (KÖSE-III) kullanılarak öğrencilerin öğrenme stillerini belirlemeye yönelik bir model önerisi geliştirmek ve bu modeli temel alan, web ve mobilden erişilebilen bir uygulama geliştirmek amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaçla, KÖ-SE-III'te verilen durumlara yönelik Kolb'un orijinal değerlendirme yönteminden farklı olarak öğrencilerden kendilerine en uygun gelen seçeneği seçmeleri istenmiş ve öğrencilerin yaş ve cinsiyet bilgileri de alınarak araştırmanın veri seti oluşturulmuştur. Makine öğrenmesi tekniklerinden k-En Yakın Komşu Algoritması, C4.5 Karar Ağacı Algoritması ve Naive Bayes Sınıflandırıcısı kullanılarak en iyi performansı gösteren model seçilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında geliştirilen uygulama e-öğrenme sistemlerine kolaylıkla entegre edilebileceğinden; öğreticilerin, öğrencilerin öğrenme stillerini belirleme süreçlerini kolaylaştırması, buna bağlı olarak eğitim etkinliklerinin öğrenci merkezli tasarlanmasına imkân tanıması ve daha çok öğrenciye ulaşılan bilimsel çalışmaların yapılabilmesi açısından bu çalışmanın önemli olduğu düşünülmektedir.
