Characteristics Of Being A Sensing Learner

Decent Essays
According to my assessment results I am a Sensing Learner. Which means I love facts, I don’t like surprises and complications, I’m patient with details and good at memorizing. It also states that I don’t like courses that have nothing to do with the real world and that I also tend to be more practical and careful. My assessment results are remarkably amazing seeing that all of the traits of being a Sensing Learning match up to how I learn and view things. Over the four years of my high school career I really came familiar with what helps me learn and what distracts me. What has helped me the most is being able to relax at my own house in the presence of my family, and being able to have all the flashcards and different colored pens in the world.

    In a guided self-assessment of study habits and strategies, ED 3100 students have been challenged to embark on a journey of self-exploration in an effort to better understand our own learning processes, as well as determine how different methods of studying and learning may affect our overall success. Dr. Demars (2015) explains that exploration and knowledge of our own techniques and learning strategies will then empower us, as future educators, to facilitate the same attributes in our students. She emphasizes that the better we (as teachers) understand our own learning processes, the better we can understand those of our students, and consequently help them self-assess to achieve a better understanding of their own learning. Although this exploration has raised many questions for me, there were key themes that stood out amongst others. By constructing an unbiased system of measurement, I am experimenting with deliberate and strategic changes to my study habits that are explicitly designed to address and correct weaknesses in my current study habits that I will track over a period of four weeks.…

    My parents have always challenged me to strive to do my best since I was a child. From pushing me to learn how to ride a bike at age five, to striving me to achieve a higher ACT score to attend the college I love, I learned how to become very independent and credible. As I approached my high school years, I changed mentally by creating a positive mindset after my freshman year. As to this day, getting a 3.11-grade point average has affected me in both positive and negative ways. One characteristic that I figured out about myself is that I am a person who learns from mistakes due to the fact that I am a tactile learner.…

    The strongest person in the world might be able to tackle any physical obstacle, but mental stress can be much more difficult. The nuance with mental stress is that different environments affect people in different ways, and in different magnitudes. Cathy Davidson’s “Project Classroom Makeover”, Susan Faludi’s “The Naked Citadel”, and Malcolm Gladwell’s “The Power of Context”, all describe scenarios with environments that are either stressful and negative, or relaxed and positive. An individual’s identity is minimally impacted in positive environments and drastically affected in negative environments.…

    In addition, I realized that I need to be able to make logical connections in order to learn in a way that promotes real understanding and long term memory. Furthermore, I discovered that setting goals and creating a plan that incorporates a checklist is profitable for me. When comparing the computer assessment and the self-assessment, the results were somewhat similar but after much self-examination and reflection, I believe the self-assessment is a more accurate representation of my working and learning styles. I believe that I strongly exhibit several of the traits in the excite dynamic group that I feel would classify me as deliberate rather than stress…
