My Learning Styles Assessment

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.

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.

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

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

As I was growing up, my parents would make me practice over and over again a certain material I would be struggling with in school or anything they thought I needed to improve on. They would always tell me that practice improves, they are strong believers that we (or at least me) learn best by practicing and doing. Therefore, I have learned that I personally gain better knowledge of concepts or a specific thing by practicing it. I also, consider myself an auditory learner. Seeing stuff clears my thoughts and directly seeing it really helps organize my mind. I specifically like when stuff have a representation that I specifically see and gain knowledge from. I consider myself a strong visual learner rather than auditory because

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. Effective learning and effective thinking will help increase the speed of success and is necessary to continue learning to have a greater understanding of the work we do to be competent and influential to you and the organisation's wealth and have a competitive edge on the rest of industry in this fluctuating market and all styles are just as important as the other. Visual style include observing in random orders of pictures, diagrams and demonstrations, displays, films

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,

In this chapter I discovered many new things about myself, it has been very benifical to have taken the tests in this chapter and learn how to better study and learn. I thourougly loved this chapter because of the things I have discovered and learned. This chapter was very helpful and relevant for every day life and practical. In the first test, I learned that I am a visual and interpersonal learner. I plan to use this information to the fullest by studying taking notes and using colored pencils and highlighters. Utilizing charts, graphs and timelines is also a great resource. Vizulaization is key in this learning style. But also, to study in groups and discuss this information with people. It is highly

Being knowledgeable about learning styles can be very useful for your academic and professional career. We communicate with our peers and colleagues on a daily basis, so it’s important to understand how each party does so. Just recently, I completed the online “Learning Styles Inventory” evaluation provided by the Baker College Academic Office. The results showed that my primary learning style is “auditory”, followed closely by “tactile-kinesthetic” which I believe is a fairly accurate assessment. For simplicity, the focus of this paper will be auditory learning.

One of the most common learning styles is auditory, which benefits one’s learning with hearing, listening, and speaking. When anyone first receives a piece of information, they use their sensory perception to encode the information. The effectiveness of using different senses for encoding information varies for each individuals, but for auditory learners, they react to auditory stimuli the fastest, which enables them to learn and store knowledge most efficiently through methods like reading the material out loud or listening

Learning styles is a way of identifying the learner’s preference in how they work such as visual, auditory and kinaesthetic. There are many ways in which learning styles has been presented and developed into showing how each individual processes information to learn.

Upon completion of the learning styles module, I have confirmed that I am a multimodal learner, meaning that I use multiple learning styles and strategies. The main learning styles are visual, kinesthetic, and auditory. In addition, each style has subgroups. For example, a person with visual- nonverbal style can learn by simply looking at an image, and not find it necessary to be told the meaning of the image. Such learners may find color-coding to be a useful tool to retain information (studentlingo.com).

I began the learning style inventory with reasonable understanding of how I learn due to my professional requirements. As I studied each answer, it wasn’t as straightforward as I had originally suspected. I found it, at times difficult to pick one answer over the other in part because of many diverse prior personal experiences. This unit has taught me a lot about learning styles and how they can possibly overlap. Even though there’s a lot of overlapping, I could tell that my preference of learning style was analytical. I’ve always valued hands on experience, but I can now see how my learning styles play off one another. Once I obtain the hands on experience I can analyze each step to improve my performance in the future. Even though I enjoy

The learning styles quiz was very helpful and will probably prove to be helpful for the rest of my college career. Understanding how you learn and the best way for you to retain the information you are given is key to being learning the material and being a successful student. Especially as a freshman in college everything is taken to such a higher level and there are much higher expectations than in high school. This quiz allowed me to realize in which ways I will be the most successful when it comes to learning and retaining information, especially as an engineering student.

Let’s begin with my Psychology class. In my psychology class, the teacher, Mr. Adkison uses a variety of teaching styles depending on the material. I would have to say out of all of them the one that is most used is a lecture or verbal with group discussions. This is also one of my strongest teaching styles due to the fact that it is more interactive and allows the class as a whole to discuss what we went over that day. My style of learning lines up with his method of teaching. When listening to his lectures, and looking at the pictures, graphs, etc. it allows me to make connections
