I found learning about the different learning styles insightful in that I never
considered my own learning style in much depth until now. Becoming aware of my
Style (Kiser, 2017) which likes to work with ideas. I agree that this style describes me
because this type of learner is said to like to analyze their experiences, make
observations, and conceptualize them and come up with abstract conclusions with value
placed on logic, and precision of ideas rather than practical application (Kiser, 2017).
This perhaps explains why I can never put two and two together until way later. I am
In working with Integrative Processing Model (IPM), which steps in the process
Gathering data from concrete experience comes natural for me in that I like to
having driven there once. The steps that I find to be the most difficult are examining
situation in order to correct response. I have to be aware of my personal views and not
allow them to guide my decisions if they conflict with what I should do. My learning style
is connected to the steps in the IPM in that I usually gather information before I make
decisions. Using the IPM on a daily basis may cause me to gain greater cognitive
flexibility in that I will allow for the ideas of others and for the views of others to be
considered.
The IPM involves students in thinking about their experiences in both abstract
and concrete ways. What parallels do you see between the steps of the IPM and
the steps in KOLB’s Experimental Learning Cycle? How are the two similar to
The IPM and Kolb’s Experimental Learning Cycle parallel each other in that they
both provide a model that can be used to help you with some structure for reflexing and
critical thinking. Kolb’s experimental learning style helps us understand our thinking
process while the IPM allows us to use our learning style along with other ways of
In what other areas of your life might the IPM provide a useful framework for
