Being A Dynamic Learner

How can I use my preferred learning style to my advantage at school (especially in subjects I find challenging)?

Whether you believe learning styles are a myth or fact they still can help you learn the material for class. Just because you take this test online and it says that you are one hundred percent auditory learner doesn’t mean you can’t learn other ways. Learning styles can help you discover more creative ways for you to remember a topic or specific details. How Amy made a poster it helped her present her topic but also helped her learn and remember her topic. By writing it down and being creative you will remember the topic a lot better. I’m not a firm believer in learning styles but I do think that they can help. I am an auditory learner so listening helps me learn although it isn’t the only way I can learn.

Behaviour for learning refers to the pressure on schools to constantly attempt to raise attainments (Department for Children, Schools and Families 2009). This has come about because of schools trying to raise standards for their students that can be identified in the teaching standards which promotes the raising of standard for students. Adams (2009) says 97 percent of new qualified teachers believe managing student behaviour is one of the most important issues for them in the teaching field. Behaviour cannot be separated from learning as they are intrinsically linked together (Ellis and Tod, 2009). Behaviour for learning therefore becomes one of the most important issue for newly qualified teachers and trainee teachers. This reflective writing will look at how the trainee teacher will building relationships in the classrooms as a means of promoting behaviour for learning.

Some future college students are born with a natural talent in the subject English. Which includes critical thinking, writing, and reading. While for others, possibly being mathematicians, English is and probably will never be their keen subject in life. Students find more passions in sciences, arts, and medical teachings which is not something to look down upon. Although, many students forget that English is still a huge part of all these subjects. Where ever these students go they will find the necessity to read something or to write something. That’s where college English comes in handy. College English prepares students for academic writing at a university level, and also for their careers when formal writing is required. Many students fear college English classes, but there are many ways to succeed in these college English classes. Looking over the articles Becoming an Active Learner by Skip Downing, Brianology by Carol S. Dweck, and The Right to Fail by Willliam Zinsser, these authors express their feelings on being able to succeed in life in a general view. Mainly taking education into consideration. Students should not be afraid of college English classes because their are many ways to succeed in them by establishing a growth mindset, creating an active learning pattern, and having a positive and mature attitude.

I chose to do my analysis on my fiancé Kentrall. Anyone that knows him can easily point out his learning pattern. According to the LCI test he is a strong-willed learner. His use first learning patterns are confluence, Technical reasoning, and precision. He uses sequence as needed. We are definitely opposites, he thinks that he can fix anything without reading the instructions. Sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

When giving emotional support, I have seen many individuals feeling emotionally barricaded and stifled after a tragic occurrence. Wherever they are in the healing process, the simple act of letting people express how they are feeling without prejudice and acknowledging their feelings can help relieve a victim's interpretation of their situation and help change their own self-talk.

When doing a task I need to know what is expected of me. I don’t like going into the unknown. I need to have a clear explanation so I can organize my steps in order to complete the task. I always have to have a plan without a plan I’m stuck, so having one helps me process and fully understand the information that I am retrieving and make completing the task easy and smooth going. Also, having the sense of accomplishment and I can cross the task of my to-do list. At work, I always go and check the books and see if the manager left me any notes on what I’m supposed to do for that day and I write them down and start on my task(s) until a customer comes needing assistance.

The learning strategy developed and taught to a class of students with learning disabilities was how to ask for help. The acquisition of students learning to ask for help is important to obtain current knowledge of this strategy through a pretest. The pretest in this case includes questions. Examples of the questions being asked to the students with learning disabilities are; How many students ask for help when they need it? Yes or No?,How many know what asking for help means? Yes or No?,Are you comfortable asking for help? Yes or No?. By answering these questions it allows me as the teacher to get an understanding of if the students fully understand what asking for help is and if there are reasons they are not taking advantage of this.

If I could say who I am as a learner, I would say that I am a risk-taker, and am very knowledgeable. I like this because I am not afraid to try new things, but I still know what I am doing. If you don’t be a risk taker and try new things, you can never learn anything. These are two very good traits to have, but I still have goals. I want to be more reflective and look back on my mistakes so I can learn better. My goals for behavior are to talk less and get more work done. The best way for me to work is to get a lot done and then take a lot of little breaks, sometimes I get carried away and start to talk and it gets crazy. I learned about this trait when I was a lot younger when I would clean my room. I would get distracted and start playing around, and then I would stop and clean really fast so I could take a little break again. I think this is a result of what type of learner I am. My color quiz results said I am yellow. That means I am very enthusiastic and try to change things where I can. I like to change things to make them more fun. So when I work, I take

What is a learning style? Well a learning style is the way a person tends to learn best. It involves your preferred method of taking in, organizing, and making sense of information, Lake Washington Institute of Technology (2012). Some people prefer to learn by doing and touching, others prefer to learn by seeing, or by hearing the information. Still others learn using more than one learning style. If a person was interested in finding out what their particular learning style is would be to take the VARK questionnaire for learning styles. The most common learning style is the multimodal, but the learner

"…reflection in a mirror is an exact replica of what is in front of it. Reflection in professional practice… gives back not what it is, but what might be, an improvement on the original…" Biggs (1999).

The phrase taking ownership of my learning is a personal statement reminding me to take responsibility of my time. First, I need to be honest with myself on how much I can get done on a daily basis and therefore commit to a steady homework schedule. Consequently, If I do not create a reasonable homework schedule, then I run the risk of becoming overly stressed out, causing problems for those around me. The ones immediately affected are people close to me. My family and those that I have other commitments to are most affected by my choices. Therefore, by accepting that I have committed to taking this class, or any class through the University of the People, I am obligated to hold up my end of the bargain, or accept the repercussions of my actions which may be minor initially, over a long period of time can cause significant damage to relationships. As stated in the article Course Overload; Students Stressed by Too Many Classes by The Pauw Wow. Velda Goldberg, the Academic Dean of Saint Peter’s said, “I see students overextending themselves on a regular basis,” she said. “In the process, not only do they become stressed out, but their studies suffer as well.” I realize that the University of the People has a different academic plan than most Universities. .Because of the nature of the University of the People course load recommendations are only two classes, whereas at other universities

My mom is a wonderful listener, if I tell her that I have a big test coming up or that I got into trouble at school she will remind me each day to study for the test coming up. She will then sit down with me to discuss what had happened that day at school. It's like my mom has a daily agenda in her mind. She always knows what's going on the day being like if I have a soccer game or if my sisters going out with friend etc, she
