In my research I chose four students in my math class at the Levine campus at CPCC. I decided to study the relationship between the student’s success and learning style. In a recent video I seeing, it states that there are different way student’s learn. Three learning styles are visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. The students I chose to study are four students and each are from different background, but same gender. Based on grades and class participation I decided to evaluate them and see how these strategies take effect on each one. All female students were sitting in different locations of the classroom. Each student walks in class and sits with their friends to socialize. Most of them sit and discussed previous class lectures or asked other peers for help. The one’s I chose to evaluate would come in class just a few minutes before class began. I studied their routine and the way that they paid attention to the lecture and how many are successful in class. The first student, S1, walks in class before the other three students. She sits in front of the class to the side, takes out her laptop, snack, notebook, calculator, and pencil pouch. During lecture she would be working on other class assignments and writing on her notebook. I noticed that when she heard the instructor go over a particular topic she would take out her second notebook and take notes. Towards the middle of the class, she would close her laptop and eat her snack and just listen to the lecture. The second
Throughout my high school and early college career, the concept of a learning style is far from foreign. I have learned of the three main learning styles: auditory, visual, and kinesthetic. I have taken multiple tests and found out what my learning style is and that it has not changed much throughout my educational career. Earlier in this course, I learned that I need to adapt the way the teacher is teaching to the learning style that best suits me. My learning style is mainly visual and kinesthetic. However, the questionnaire created by Barbara Soloman and Richard Felder has given me a lot more insight to my learning style. I have learned more about my learning style such as what type of learner I am, how I learn best, my preferred way to
My first observation is that the subject fills up their water bottle during the class change. Another one of my observations is that my classmate faces forward during the fifty- two minutes sixth period lasts. The person isn’t late to class. Additionally, the student went to the bathroom at the end of class. This shows the subject is determined not to waste class time.
Building a new good study habit to becoming effective students is process to improve student’s physical and emotional where protect students from serious health problem and managing low mood. First of all, students should change habit to be proactive which provide students a new perfect opportunity to do the things variously to build more positive results go through difficult situations and troubles at university. Do not you think while some students can pass university with minimal efforts, but it is exception. The mostly of successful students achieve their goals by applying and developing effective study habits benefit to students know how to study at university happily. According to Covey (1988), as he was an American author which one of the most popular book named The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People written by him, businessman and keynote speaker state about seven kinds of habit being proactive if the people change their habits to follow his suggest habit to become professional state the first habit : be proactive is about having responsibility to your life by you cannot keep complaining on your parents in everything. Proactive people would recognize that how they are response-able which do not blame environment, genetics or conditions for their behavior they know they choose it by themselves. On the other hand, reactive people (student) are usually affected by their physical environment (Convey, 1988).Between the motivation and response is your strongest
You are in a “classroom” observing and observe the following behaviors from students. You are to respond to each of the questions regarding each student scenario.
The atmosphere was more silent than downstairs. However, unlike the upstairs, the downstairs students looked more freely talked with their friends and received help from them when they were stuck on particular problems. In the Remsen hall, I observed students in my lecture and lab class. Since the lecture is a huge class, many students tried to sit beside their friends. However, the students who sat by themselves tended to have seats in row at the back of the classroom. After the class started, a lot of students typed the important thing on the slides by their laptop. Some of them took pictures of the slides using their phone. In the lab class, students tended to have more interaction with each other even though the experiment was conducted separately since the class is much smaller than the lecture. They easily talked to other students about the experiment and moreover they tried to help each other to complete the lab procedure correctly. After the lab class, I also looked around the chemistry office. There was a person who came to declare her major and another person who submitted the late lab report.
Learning styles can and will reflect personalities and have a substantial impact on your professional developments. Understand which style is needed and best suited for your learning process and the ways you absorb information, it may one particular or a combination of a few.

Visual style include observing in random orders of pictures, diagrams and demonstrations, displays, films
In my school career I have found that there are many different learning styles, and although a person can be more than one, which I happen to think I am, most of us typically are just “one” type of learner. According to the “Learning Style Survey,” my results ended up being a “visual learner,” (Bixler, "Learning Style Inventory"). I found these results to be very accurate. I learned at an early age that I was more of a visual learner, I always needed to look at what I was learning, this gave me a sense of understanding.
Behavior in the classroom: Emily Young is a transfer student from china. She can speak Chinese as well as English but sense she is still learning she is still limited and she can sometimes get mixed up when speaking and writing. Emily sometimes has problems understanding with the language barrier, speaking speed, and learning habits but once she sees it written down on paper she can usually understand the assignment, and most of the other students do their best to help her. Emily needed a little extra time to understand the assignment but that never stopped her she tries her best and never makes below a B.
Before I went to the ILC for the learning styles assessment, I had an idea of what my learning style was, but did not know what it really meant. I knew I was more of a visual or verbal learner, but I did not know how to use that in my everyday life.
Although I have the same percentage for 5 of the 7 learning styles, I’ve selected the two I know are my style. My two styles would be verbal and visual. Verbal because I enjoy re-reading and reading out loud my responses to all of my writings. I feel that way I get more of an understanding as to what the reader will grasp. Visual because in order for me to retain as much information as i can, visual depiction is perfect, that is not to say however, that auditory learning doesn't do this for me as well. When it pertains to challenges, because one of my learning styles is visual, I had to think long and hard about taking college courses online. I was so used to the idea of having an instructor in front of me, directing a class and writing on a dry erase/chalkboard. Although I was used to that idea, I am grateful of the opportunity of having online courses, especially when going to work full-time and having a family. I know that following my heart and going to school online was my the best decision. I actually don't see a challenge of being verbal. I believe everyone uses this tactic daily, based on the fact they pick up what they hear and see. Being visual, I can use the internet to help me understand more clearly, whereas being verbal, I would be able to excel at online
There are many different learning styles which means different people take in and remember information in different ways. I am a visual learner which means I understand and remember things by sight. I learn best when I can see what I am learning so I will picture it in my head or even create some kind of object that I can see, such as a set of flashcards. Important things to me, like school and work, I keep neat and organized. Often I will close my eyes to remember something, and when I become bored I will find something to watch. Visual learners like me have a hard time with spoken directions and would rather see a map. We are also easily distracted by sounds and attracted to color. Some learning strategies that are recommended are
Learning styles are different for everyone. Your learning style may be auditory, mathematical/logical, tactical, or so on, but everyone has their own learning techniques. Someone could even be a mix between tactical, auditory, and visual.
Each person has their very own individuality, while many people share certain characteristics, there are no two people who are the exact replica of one another. Aside from the obvious difference in DNA, we differentiate ourselves from everyone else based on many aspects; one of those aspects being our capability to learn or rather our “Learning Style”. It is believed that by completing a few simple tests we can determine our best method of learning and comprehending the information we require our brains to soak up. In this essay I will discuss my personal results from the three exams that were required to be completed in order to determine my learning style. I will individualize each test that was completed and discuss my results, explain which
I enjoyed reading your analysis of the learning styles article. Comparable to your viewpoint, there are learning styles and information regarding the different concepts that I agree with. What I find interesting is despite the lack of evidence supporting the ideal that learning styles improve learning continues to be widely researched. Personally, I have had the opportunity to complete a learning style inventory from the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) website (http://www.educationplanner.org/) which determined that I am a visual learner. Visual learners attain understanding by reading and seeing pictures. Visual aids that improve understanding include maps, graphs, diagrams, and charts. As a visual learner, information
I haven’t thought about my learning styles recently. Nevertheless, since I enrolled back in school, I had to refocus my life and career to fit the way I learn. I recognize that everyone thinks and learn differently because if everybody was the same the world would be screwed up. More important, I am interested to learn what learning styles work best for me. I always felt that I was a hands-on kind of person. For instance, my first restaurant job some years ago, during a training session I notice I would absorb more info when I prepared the food rather than someone preparing it for me. I guess if more people were taught in an environment where data were presented in a style that complements their learning style it would be beneficial for them.
