Boone defined eight learning styles and listed ways people who fall into each category learn best. These people are highly social, make friends easily and are good talkers. They recognize how others feel and are drawn to activities that involve other people. Relational people learn best in small groups, with personal sharing or testimony, through discussion, dialog, role play, question and answer, skits, brainstorming, videos, illustrations and problem solving work that depends on working with others. A biblical character who was relational was Barnabas, Boone said.
Reflective learners understand who they are and how they feel.
They may prefer to work alone and they seek ways of self-expression. They are comfortable with solitude. Reflective people learn best through lecture, question and answer, discussion, worksheets and study guides, open-ended sentences, creative writing, listening to music or listen guides. Some characteristics of physical learners are that they are active, often well coordinated and like to act out stories they hear. They like mission projects, sports and drama activities.
