Tactile Kinesthetic Learner

Before taking the Learning Style Inventory, I always felt I was mostly a tactile learner. I would be able to learn in a visual fashion if need be, but I would rather learn and by doing and making mistakes. After taking the Learning Style Inventory, the results definitely supported my initial thoughts. My tactile preference was 14 points higher than my auditory score, but only 2 points higher than my visual. Although I believe I will always will be a stronger tactile learner, my visual learner skills have been improving throughout my college learning experience. Plus, it’s important to note that many tactile learning situations are dependent on visual learning. This means that tactilely learning has been strengthening my visual learning skills.

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

Learning style: My learning style is considered to be auditory and kinesthetic. Yes, I prefer learning through listening and making notes at the same time. Being an auditory learner I depend on hearing and speaking as a main way of learning. I also learn from experiments or activity related to what I study in class.

After answering questions from Learning Style Inventory I found out that I am a visual learner. Which means I like to organize work to avoid distractions. Makes sense to me I hate to work where all paperwork is all over the place, I actually have to organize it so I won’t be distracted. I like as well to use flash card, visual strategies to improve memory. I also like to do list, to make sure I did everything I was supposed to do today. I also learned that as teacher we have to learn what type of learner our students are so we can use appropriate strategies that will help them in their learning

After taking the learning styles assessment it was found that I am a visual learner most of all followed by tactile and auditory. This meaning that I like to see what I am learning, I am able to understand things and later recall what I have seen. I honestly have to say that I do not agree with these results; I say that because after reading and just knowing how I am, I believe my best type of learning is through tactile, I have been this way since elementary school. When you are a tactile person you like to learn and pick up the information best through touching and doing things, you are very hands-on. Versus someone who is a visual learner just needs to see it or read it. Some of the characteristics a tactile person has is completely me; such as I am always doing something, I like to be hands on, when I talk I move my hands sort of like I am trying to act out what I am saying, I always have my legs going or am swaying side to side, like flashcards to study with, and am always chewing gum.

I am a great learner as a student, I love to sometimes see if I can be moving around to learn better. I'm a kinesthetic learner and I love to move I'm a left side brain person I love to be careful and pay attention I'm deadline driven I always pay attention to all The details.Just to have a great grade with my teachers I love to make sure that I'm getting notes down. So I can study I love to have a great teacher that knows how to make a school. I'm red ,because I’m super aggressive. I do well in aggressive areas and, I Need to be paying attention ,because I need to be highly aggressive . the best that I can have great grades and succeed in the next grade, because I want to succeed in the world. To go into college, I Want go to C.U where

Once a visual learner sees and understands what is being expected of them to understand, they sometimes will have to write or draw it. If they are writing or taking

“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.

From doing the Learning Style Inventory, I learned that I learn better when I write things down and when I have a visual of the information I am learning. For my writing style way of learning, I found I should take notes. When the professors give us notes I should write them in my hand writing. I just need to be able to read my notes because I write so fast some times.

writing a paper, I like to bounce off my ideas with someone. Math if you show

Based on my personal inventory evaluation check list I have a combination of learning styles. I am a visual and kinesthetic learner. I definitely learn best when I am taught new information with some type of picture or visual. Also, having the hands on experience I feel helps me to retain information better. I tend to watch a lot of educational videos online because I feel it helps me to process the information and prepare for exams better. During exams I try visualize the

I am a mixed learner and surprised about it too, my scores on the test were 50% auditory, 10% visual, and 40% tactile. To be an auditory learner I use sounds and have a hard time remembering things if they were not spoken aloud in some way. I am a talker that sings and hums to myself when I get bored or nervous, though I am paying attention or understanding what is being said, it does not seems as I am. There are many ways in helping bring out my learning style. These include sitting where I can hear, read out loud and have things read out loud to me such as tests and questions I do not understand or use flashcards to practice new words or the questions, also being read aloud. Being

The learning style I identified with is read/write. I basically learn things better by reading and writing things down. As you read and write things down it makes it easier for me to remember things better. If I continuously re-read things, I would remember them for a long time. And if I re-write things I’d be ably to remember it for a long time as well. Because I remember better if I read I always keep a highlighter near by because if I highlight something I know it’ll be important and it will make it easier for studying for test. Not only that, because I use different colored highlighters it makes me remember things more also. Yes, I did know that this was my preferred learning style before completing this assessment because,

There are four main types of learning styles: auditory, kinaesthetic, reading and writing, and visual. Each of these theories describes how learning occurs and has its own terminology, perceptions on learning and generalities about teaching and learning. My personal learning style uses a combination of visual, reading, writing and auditory. I prefer using pictures,

As I progress with my studies at UoPeople, I can apply all the strategies depending on the subject or course. I prefer the read/write and kinesthetic learning styles because that is what I am comfortable using at this time. I learn best when I read and write things down on paper or on a computer. When I read an article or textbook I tend to highlight and underline text in order to retain the information and go back to it and review it. When necessary, I create an outline in order to study for an exam. It helps me organize my notes. Also, I like watching the video presentations that the Instructor assigns to our class in order to supplement our reading assignments. I replay the video a couple of times in order to understand the material and
