In this Case study I aim to produce a report to identify ways to improve/enhance or change the learning style of the chosen learner. I will be using Joe’s case study to explore ways that I can develop and support his learning in school and to implement the use of this source in home life. I also aim to demonstrate how Children’s learning development varies, the different types of learning and how they can be linked to theory of practice. Bloom (1956) Categorized learning objectives adjoining three major domain of cognitive, affective and psychomotor development.

Assigning Joe to group work with other peers is to motivate him to actively involve in learning. This strategy gives opportunity for Joe to learn from other children’s experiences and offers support to conjure ideas. As (Ruel and
