The Hands-On Explorer

Learns by doing, and understands a thing once they try it.

What they're good at

  • Learning by doing
  • Getting started quickly
  • Solving practical problems

How they learn best

Through experiments, demonstrations and practice: seeing how an idea solves a real problem.

What wears them out

Sitting still for long, and reading with nothing to try.

At home

Turn study into something to make: flashcards, a small experiment, an example from home.

In class

Say
“Let's try it and see what happens.”
Avoid
“Read the whole chapter first before we start.”

This style describes a way, not an ability. Every style can excel, and what changes is the fuel and the manual.
