Now that I know I am a visual learner, I can be a better student. I can do better in school, because I know how I should do things. To start, I need to utilize flashcards, which I already do. Using flashcards helps me visualize what I need to know and helps me understand it. Additionally, advice from the learning styles assessment would be to write down ideas, key words, and directions so I can see it visually. Visually seeing these will help me understand it. Furthermore, I can study in quiet places so I don't get distracted because I need to stay focused. Staying focused helps me have higher quality work. Since I am a visual learner, I can do things that help me. All in all, with all of these things, I can become a better learner.
As for my Visual Analysis Task, I have chosen to write about this image on the left. This piece was recently created by Shepard Fairey a street artist. This was made in response to the election of Donald Trump- known as the President of the United States. ‘We the People’ features portraits of Native Americans, African Americas, Muslims, and Latinas portrays in Fairey’s trademark style with slogans such as “Women are Perfect” and “Defend Dignity”.
Secondly, the teacher gave us a test for my learning style. The results show, my learning style is visual. I was not surprising in the result because I know myself very well. I love to watch the video and we read books to help me on study. There are unique characteristics of Visual personality As Spanella T (for studay.com
In this portion of Sanders’s Becoming a Learner, he describes the outcomes of becoming a learner. Sanders states four outcomes of becoming a learner: creativity, critical thinking, communication skills, and better character. I consider both communication skills and depth of character to be of equal importance, but for the sake of this journal, I believe the development of communication skills is most important and will have a critical impact on my career and my life. First off, let me state that I would like to pursue a career in editing, and to have any business at all, I will need to have good communication skills so I can form a trusting relationship with my clients, otherwise they may take their business elsewhere. More importantly, I intend to become a wife and a mother, and strong relationships are
The main characteristics of a visual learner are that they remember what they see, instead of what they hear. They also prefer diagrams, pictures and to read and write rather than listening. This learner is usually good at spelling, but forgets names, and needs to study in quite. Also, they would tune out when they try to pay attention and they would need an overall new and purpose beginning a project.
I also find that I learn well from visuals. I like to see skills being done and then practice it myself. As a visual learner I learn well from demonstration, videos and diagrams. This is true when I practice skilled sports specific movements. I tend to record myself and watch it back in slow motion for feed back.
In the first journal entry it was revealed that I am a visual learner, thus in order to further improve the quality of my learning abilities new strategies have been established. As a result, I include illustrations in some of my notes, pay attention to body language, utilize flashcards while reviewing information and make sure to study where there are no distractions. It is for this reason that I have been able to understand most of the lectures and recitation packets without any issues. However, there is still room for improvement, as I still require a visual aid in order to fully understand a concept, thus I plan on paying special attention to graphs, charts, and diagrams during class. In addition to this, over the years I have learned that
I am strongly Visual Learner. I would incorporate my visual learning techniques using flash cards to memories some important study materials. I can also use the outline methods to draws important points while reading my textbooks.
When I was young, learning new things was a delight. I remember one teacher in particular who used a flannel board with pictures when she told us a story. To this day, more than 50 years later, I can still see those pictures and remember the story she told. That simple remembrance indicates to me that I am a visual learner. Perhaps that is why I am hopeless when given a direction to go north on a particular route. Spatial directions mean nothing to me. A better way to navigate is to look for landmarks such as a store, or service station, or even a billboard sign. I need to see something I recognize to help me navigate. The same is true when I am learning something new. I need to mark up a text to learn from it. Videos and demonstration, are more helpful to me, than a lecture. McGrath (2009) notes that there may be similarities between adults and children in how they learn, but adult learners need to know why they are learning new knowledge before they are willing to participate. When I can see a reason for learning something, I am more invested in the outcome of the process. For example, learning how a combustion engine
In the learning styles test, it resulted that I am a visual learner. I believe that this is true because I would rather to see a demonstration of what I am supposed to do so I can be able to do it by myself later on. It is effective for me when I am studying because I can remember what I saw as opposed to what I heard. Also, I get distracted easily therefore if a class session tends to be long and only involves discussions and talking, I tend to space out a lot. The results says that visual learners should always be sure to look at the study materials and make use of flash cards, which I tend to do all the time. In the value assessment section, I did the Rokeach Value Survey and this was a great one. It helped to prioritize terminal and instrumental
The first chapter of Becoming a Learner had scared me honestly. We are going to school to further our education and some job titles don't even want what you had specialized in college. It scared me because I came to college to find a good job when I am done with and if doesn't all work out in the end you will be with no job and in college debt. You need skills to make someone want to hire which scares me because I sometimes lack of skills. “ The primary purpose of college isn't learning a specific set of professional skills; the primary purpose of college is to become a learner” most college students don't know where they are going yet or know what to study so they should take advantage of learning outside of the box the more you learn during
As an upcoming junior, I've had some time to reflect back on what my first year of college taught me. You definitely learn a lot of things during your freshman year, but here are the 9 most important things that I learned!
The image “Bench” is laid out like a common advertisement. The image’s focal point is a park bench set front and center. The snow overwhelms the photo which covers much of the ground and is used as a tool to separate and isolate the bench from the background of trees. The background, filled with trees and a light post appears be some sort of park. The lack of footprints in the snowy tundra suggests recently a fresh blanket of snow has been laid.
The theme of my painting is the feeling of being lost in thoughts. I choose to paint the image because it describe a girl being confused or lost without showing her face. When people imagine a girl setting in front of a beautiful view like the sunset behind a mountains, they imagine her face relaxed or smiling. However, I wanted the audience to think differently when looking at the painting. The position of the girl with her shoulder crouched down to give the hint that she could be thinking or looking at the water. Adding the ocean with the waves could describe the girl thoughts or it could simply show that the ocean makes the girl think clearly. I choose the ocean because it’s my favorite view to go when I’m feeling down. I added the view
The results that I received after taking What’s Your Learning Style stated that I’m a visual learning. After seeing the result, I now know how I learn best. As stated on results that I have to picture things in my head and look, and write things done to get the understanding of what I am working on. There are many things that I can do to learn better is make sure that I have more time in doing my homework, because being a visual learning I have to picture, write important things to make sure that I can remember them. I already try to color code things especially when I’m at work because I need to be very organize. What I can add to the suggestions is that the more that I write then the more that I will remember, because I know that I have to
Being able to take in the information that is presented and being able to apply it is a crucial tool that is needed in order to be successful. One of the assignments that we were given in ENGR 1000 was that we were tasked to see what type of learner we were. Everyone has their own unique way of learning and I myself feel that I am more of a visual learner than verbal. There are eight different characteristics on a scale from one to ten which means there can be fifty thousand and four hundred different possibilities. This is why it is important to know and understand what type of learner you are because you are only one of that fifty thousand and four hundred. You could and are very likely spinning your wheels trying to learn things the wrong way if you truly don’t understand how you learn. I can read a book cover to cover and at the end, sometimes I could not tell you what I have just read. After taking that survey I was surprised at how much I was heavily leaning only on visual and not verbal. Just this one alone was putting me at a disadvantage in my education because I was only really taking in half of what I could be. I have started to rely different learning styles so that I can be more we
