Document Summary
Assignment details: think about what to say, first person. Brown talks about styles and strategies under the heading individual differences . Note the difference between the two concepts in the chapter. Styles are general characteristics of intellectual functioning they are consistent and rather enduring tendencies or preferences within an individual. We as teachers most often fall down on. One size fits all because its more convenient: however it is a problem because its not the same for all students. Strategies are specific methods of approaching a problem or task, techniques for achieving a particular end, or designs for controlling and manipulating certain information. Because they are contextualized battle plans that might vary from moment to moment, or from one context to another, or even from one culture to another, they vary within an individual. Each of us has a number of possible options for solving a particular problem, from which we choose a particular line of attack . (p. 112).
