Adapting Learners’ Styles for Effective Learning of Difficult Concepts in Biology

Umar Yabo Aminu, Mahmud Abdurrahman

Abstract


In diverse, fast-pace, and hyper-stimulated environment, searching for preferred portal to effectively communicate information is essential. The evolutionary history is changing the way modern man prefers to interact with new and challenging information. This paper discuss how distraction and changes in learning behaviour from over-whelming information from media affect ability to pay attention in the classroom and offers possible solution through adaptation of learning preferences in Biology education. A conceptual and theoretical basis was highlighted for instructors to consider. The paper also suggested learning sequence that could be adopted to effectively educate the diverse preferences for effective teaching of Biology. The paper recommends that teachers and learners should be made to be aware of their learning preferences to be able to face challenging and distractive learning situation.
