Learning/Study Preferences
for (E)xtraverted Law Students
Adapted from Gordon Lawrence, People Types and Tiger Stripes 43
(1992).
Cognitive Style:
The extraverted law student favors a cognitive style that involves: |
 | learning by talking and physically engaging the environment, |
| letting attention flow outward toward objective events, |
| talking to help thoughts form and become clear, and |
| learning through interactions, verbal and non-verbal. |
|
Study Style:
The extraverted law student favors a study style that involves: |
| acting first and reflecting after, |
| plunging into a new material, |
| starting interactions needed to stimulate reflection and concentration, |
| having a strong, interesting, external-extraverted reason for
studying beyond learning for its own sake, |
| avoiding distractions that will cut into their concentration, |
| studying with a friend, and |
| studying to prepare to teach someone. |
|
Instruction that fits E's
Extraverted law students do their best work when: |
| there are opportunities to "think out loud" for example,
one-to one with the teacher, classroom discussions, working with another
student on projects, |
| learning activities that have an effect outside the learner,
such as visible results from a project, |
| teachers who manage classroom dialogue so that extraverts have
ways to clarify their ideas before they add them to class discussion, and |
| assignments that let them see what other people are doing and
what they regard as important. |
