Gregorc's Learning Style Model


According to Anthony Gregorc, learning styles may be analyzed along two dimensions, namely, perceptual quality(concrete or abstract) and ordering ability (random or sequential).

Along perceptual quality, the concrete type registers information through the five senses, whereas the abstract type tries to understand ideas, qualities, and concepts which cannot be seen.

Along ordering abilities, the sequential type organizes information in a linear, logical way, whereas the random type organizes information in bits and in no specific sequence.

Analyzing learning style along these dimensions results to the following types of learners.










Abstract Sequential
(AS)


Concrete Sequential
(CS)


Abstract Random
(AR)


Concrete Random
(CR)
