Kinesthetic Learning Style Analysis

Improved Essays
Everyone is a different type of learner. I am a visual learner according to the surveys. They showed that Ilearn best when Isee people demonstrate something before Ido it. Ipersonally disagree with that for the following reasons: Idon't learn best when Isee something done first, Ilearn best when I do something first unaided and uninstructed. Kinesthetic learners do that. Ialso don't fall under any of those categories so I believe Iam a kinesthetic. That makes me doubt the accuracy of the surveys.
Just because the surveys said so, Ibelieve otherwise. A kinesthetic learner likes physical rewards, is in motion most of the time, and taps his/ her foot or pencil while learning.All of those attributes describe me well. A kinesthetic learner also

It was my weakest point out of the three areas. Iwould agree that my learning behaviours do not match that type of learning, it is my weakest point. Ido not match certain aspects corresponding with how the average auditor learner works. Ido however talk, sing, hum, or get distracted by those things easily.Yet Idon't have trouble with written criteria, whisper to myself while reading, or like to be read to.
This essay will make more sense once you have a goc;,d understanding as to what a survey is. It is basically a series of questions that once you are done, categorizes your results. This particular one gives points in each three categories, auditory,visual, or kinesthetic. For example, after completion, it will say that eac.h question is worth a certain amount of points in a certain category. One question might be worth 2 points in the visual category. Say this was my score: Visual=1, Auditory=2, and kinesthetic=3.
That would mean the surveys say I'm a kinesthetic learner. The survey can say you are a auditory learner, or a visual learner, but it is up to you to know who u are. I think it is important to be open to what the surveys suggest, and perhaps you may learn that there is some truth to it. But maybe it is you who who knows best for you all

    When I took the learning styles assessment it concluded that I am a tactile learner, which indicates that I comprehend by doing or touching. It is difficult for me to process information just by listening or reading, I would have to physically write it down over and over for it be imprinted into my brain. I use a lot of hand gesture while speaking because it helps me remember what the situation was about, and if I need to spell out a word I have to fingerspell it out in the air. Or if I’m trying to solve a math problem in my head, I would sometimes use my finger as a pen on my desk and solve it with my imagination. The assessment states that tactile learners use flashcards and arrange them into groups by relationship in order to absorb the…

In fact, there are visual, aural, verbal (reading/writing), and kinesthetic learners that can be combined to for the acronym VARK (Chick, 2016). These various learning styles are somewhat self-explanatory; however, it is important to understand the learning style that works best for an individual to be a successful learner and trainer.

    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.…

    Not all learning styles can fit into a specific situation, there are times when a kinesthetic style is better than an aural. By becoming proficient in all learning styles, I would become flexible in all learning situations. The student should be able to shift towards the professors teaching styles in addition to exceling in their learning environment. Now, I work the best with the aural, kinesthetic, and read/write learning styles, with the weakest like being the visual learning style. By taking the content learned to the next level by shifting it across learning styles, I would gain a greater understanding towards it.…

    My finding from the self-assessment comes as no surprise. I have a kinesthetic learning style, but both visual and auditory styles are close behind, I have become flexible in learning styles, depending on the subject I am studying will determine the type of style works best to obtain the most of the information, for example, I will gain more on new work instruction at work by practicing the process several times before I am comfortable; although, when learning stories from the bible, I pick up more by discussing the topic with other church members during bible study. I am a visual learner for standardized information, I absorb best by reading the information. My temperament is a director, again, this comes at no surprise. I am a result-driven…

    Self-Assessment Analysis For the purpose of this exercise, I performed the VARK (Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, Kinesthetic) Self-Assessment. Upon completion of the self-assessment, I was presented with the results, which were Visual 2, Aural 3, Read/Write 4, and Kinesthetic 7. This translates into a slight preference for Kinesthetic learning, in which I am more apt to learn from actually performing a task than attempting to simply hear about how it is performed, watching it be performed, or reading and writing about the item in question. Personally, I find that the results are not completely accurate, as I feel that I learn more from listening to someone explain a topic than reading and writing about that topic.…
