Evaluating My Learning Style

According to my learning style assessment, it says, that I am a visual learner. I agree with this assessment because I am a person who likes to study alone rather than study in group, and see things face to face. But, I also like to do group projects, I am outgoing and not have trouble with spoken directions, like it says visual learners have. A visual learner likes to learn by using poster, worksheets and flashcards. They also are distracted by sounds and will have trouble following lectures for more than 10 to 15 minutes. Three strategies I will use to help enhance/ improve my learning style are; “Taking classes that offer more lecture-based learning than written study materials,record your notes verbally and play them back to learn them

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

My learning style remains to be a tactile-kinesthetic learner. I’ve taken numerous learning style tests before and I always have the same results. This implies that I learn best when physically doing a project or activity. It does not mean that if I write items down I will not remember them, I will. My photographic memory is not off, but, it would stick better if I did projects hands-on. It helps to visualize the points I have read or are hearing about to get a better understanding of its background. Therefore, I enjoy creating ideas that will help learn by making displays as well as posters. I even play games to assist myself. While reading or listening to an instructor, I often shuffle my feet around or click my writing utensil. This helps

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. One of the ken talks we had watched

This student’s preferred learning strategy compared to the learning strategy provided by V.A.R.K. is almost identical. The learning strategies that have been used throughout her education have always netted good results, which is evident by her grades. In the past other students have commented about her learning style and the amount of time spent on note taking, outlines, and writing out note cards, but she has perfected this process for her learning style.

“Just as students have different personalities, they also have different ways of learing (Slavin, 107).” Learning styles are another important factor to incorporate when implementing the best learning environment. Learning styles are defined as an individual's mode of gaining knowledge. The most common learning styles addressed are auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. Auditory leaners understand information through hearing. Visual learners need more visual aids in the learning process, such as diagrams, webs, or pictures. Kinesthetic learners learn better by using manipulatives or by being physically involved in the learning process. Learning styles is a piece of the “backbone” of differentiated learning. Both are used to individualize instruction to help students achieve the most success.

Education benefits individual mentally, emotionally and physically by placing them in better place than they were previously before. Everybody would agree that learning something new would take place throughout the life. Learning style defined as "A term that describes the variations among learners in using one or more senses to understand, organize, and retain experience" (Reid, 1987, p. 89). Furthermore, Felder and Henriques (1995, p. 21) explained learning styles as "the ways in which an individual characteristically acquires, retains and retrieves information". However, different learners possess different characteristics and different preferred learning styles to perceive, process, take in and understand information.

According to my Learning Style Inventory (LSI) graph, my learning style profile is located mostly in the lower right-hand corner of the graph. This means that my preferred mode for learning is in Mode 2. I believe it is accurate because I like watching and thinking when learning new concepts. For example, when learning new theories and formulas in Calculus, I need to see how the professor tackles a question using the formulas. This helps me analyze and master the concepts within the new lesson. Another example of mode 2 is I like watching Youtube videos that give more details and facts about a concept, especially in Science. This is because my mind quickly processes the information that are very visual and important about a topic. Furthermore,

The results of the learning styles inventory said that I was an auditory learning, which means that I learn through listening. Being an auditory learning I would tape lectures, or listen to the news on the TV or the radio rather than sitting down and reading the paper. I find these results to be for the most part accurate, I have always thought of myself as a visual learner. I have never learned well from reading a textbook over and over, I usually have to use diagrams or photos to help me with studying, and learning new material. The study tips listed for an auditory learner are some that I do in my usual study routine such as reading my notes a few times I summarize them, and then recite them out loud. The other tips listed I have not tired

Since starting school at the University of Memphis, I have begun to learn who I am as a person. In my Academic Strategies class on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have learned about my strengths as an undergraduate student, areas that I would like to improve, and my preferred learning style. Mr. Bailey gave me an assignment called the “Learning Style Inventory” where it indicates your strongest points and the sections that need refining. After completing LS1-8 on the Learning Style Graph my strengths for my preferred learning mode blue is planning, creating models, defining problems, and developing problems. I can become a more balanced learner through all four modes if I practice characteristics of each one. For example,

I am a caring student. When I see someone who is sad or crying I try and walk over to help even when they may not want it. If they are good enough I will leave them alone and respect their wishes but if they need serious help I will find it for them.

There are three learning styles: auditory, Visual, and Tactile.l. I tested out as a Visual style learner so they say I should write out the information I want to learn, use flash cards for memorization and explain diagrams and concepts in writing. I do some of this now but I plan to do this in a more organized and deliberate way and start with my first reading of the text. The article on learning also suggests that we verbilize and work with other students. I have not done this much before but I will try it this semester. I could be more efficient with my time and be more dedicated to education. I seem to be very busy, so I will have to re-think my approach to some

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

Learning styles describe the way in which an individual or student uses different methods in the way they acquire, scrutinize, understand and remember knowledge or information (Kharb, 2013). The VARK questionnaire is a tool through which one can identify his/her learning style and is based on how individuals interact and respond to their learning environment. After undertaking the questionnaire, the scores for visual learning was 10, kinesthetic was 12, Aural was 10 and read/write was 16. The preferred learning style was, therefore, determined to be Multimodal which means that multiple strategies can be in cooperated to enable sufficient learning. Read/Write had the highest score followed closely by kinesthetic, aural and visual. This implies that the adequate strategy to acquire and convey information or knowledge is through printed or written words. With Kinesthetic having the second highest score, it shows that learning is also adequate through gaining experience and engaging in practical activities or processes that give real-life examples. Visual and Aural strategies had the same score meaning that learning can also be achieved through presentations in visual formats, drawings or diagrams as well as observations and taking of verbal instructions or listening.

Learning can be very challenging for some, everyone has a different way of learning. I would explain learning as something you want to do, not something you have to do. It’s much easier to learn when it’s a choice instead of a chore. My views on learning have changed dramatically from when I have first started the online college. Before I started online college, I was afraid to go back to school because, I didn’t do well in high school. I thought I was just not smart enough to every continue my education. With EXP 105, I have found what my strength and weaknesses are when it comes to my learning abilities. I also now feel more confident that I can do this, and it’s just going to take time to develop my mind to be in a growth mind set.
