Having completed my learning and teaching style inventory, I realized that there are comparisons between the two aspects. It is clear that the teaching style inventory is focused on the relationship between the tutor’s personalities, learning strategies, and cognitive styles (Billings & Halstead, 2015). Learning style inventory are usually geared towards modeling desirable behaviors among learners. This is because as a tutor, I will always tend to show learners how best they can observe and emulate different approaches to the nursing course or medicine-related courses. Indeed my teaching style inventory employs various strategies that will ensure that the learners grasp the required content. It explores various alternatives with learners, asks different questions, and focus on the responsibility of learners and their initiatives. In this case, I act as a resource person but not an authoritative facilitator.
It should be pointed that teaching style inventory is complementary to learning style inventory in that it consider the learning styles of learners, content, interpersonal relationship as well as the time available for learning the process. In this light, I, therefore, say that there is a close relationship between my learning and teaching inventory styles (Gaberson & Oermann, 2010). My Teaching and learning inventory style explores different instruction methods to use in teaching and learning processes. Additionally, my learning inventory style focuses on aspects of learning, thinking, cognition, and the learning environment. On the other hand, the teaching inventory approach tends to depict the learning variation among different individuals and the manner in which they approach tasks. Therefore, I tend to argue that to some extent they demonstrate similar purpose among my learners as stipulated in the course objectives and goals.
