Learning Styles:

Kolb developed one of the most popular theories of learning styles with four learning types:

Divergers: concrete/reflexive learners that want to know why something happens, they prefer detailed, systematic reasoning, and they prefer lectures or hands-on experience

Convergers: abstract conceptualization/active experimenters that want to know how it works, they find detailed operational information useful, and they prefer to be interactive as with computer programs, problem-based learning, or workbooks

Assimilators: abstract conceptualization/reflective observers that want to know exactly what there is to know about the topic, they prefer organized information and respect the knowledge of the delivering source, and they prefer lectures or labs with definitive guidebooks and answers

Accommodators: concrete experience/active experimenters that can work well with complexity and relating concepts, they prefer to be independent and active in their learning process
