Learner Question

Extraverts, while learning, address the question, “Will be able to actively participate in my learning experience?”

Learning Style

Extraverts (E) are energized through interactions with other people. They love to talk, participate and socialize in nearly all situations. They are active and interactive. They think quickly while talking. Talking provides the ability for them to think through things, enhancing clarity and process information.

Extraverts jump into material quickly with little thought, preferring a trial and error methodology in learning. Quickly changing topics and activities helps to engage this type of learner as well as doing something active. They prefer to demonstrate their knowledge rather than write about their knowledge.

Extraverts prefer to focus on the general concepts, finding details tedious and overwhelming.

Extraverts prefer to learn in a fast-paced, interactive environment. Frequent breaks are preferred. Group work, partner work and classroom discussions invigorate extraverts and inspire them to learn.

  • Knowing the expectations required of their work
  • Participating and socializing
