The world is composed of more than seven billion individuals. With a large number of inhabitants on Earth, people are bound to have differences between each other. An area where diversity can be observed among individuals is in their ability to learn information efficiently and effectively. A publication from North Carolina State University called Learning Styles and Strategies written by Richard Felder and Barbra Soloman, discusses various learning styles and strategies that people use in order to understand material, and how those styles vary with each individual.
In order to apply the results that Felder and Soloman found, a person had to take a quiz to figure out their preferable learning styles. Once completed, the test taker compared …show more content…
Felder and Soloman described a sensing learner as a person who is exceptional at learning facts, completing repetitive tasks, and practical problems. On the other hand, an intuitive learner is an individual who excels not in learning, but discovering. Intuitive learners tend to be very innovative, helping them become more efficient at tasks. From the results of the study, I tend to agree that I am a more sensing learner. I feel this way because I would rather learn how to do something practical and applicable to society than a theoretical …show more content…
The literature not only places an individual into specific learning styles, but it also provides examples for all the learning types listed. This reading is important as it informs people that individuals retain information differently and at different paces. After looking at my results from the quiz, and the information on the article, I feel like the authors did a splendid job connecting the quiz with the learning styles, making the overall study mostly accurate. I tend to agree with most of my findings, which enabled me to enjoy the article and relate more to it on a personal level. After reading the article and taking the quiz, I feel like I have learned more about myself as a student, allowing me to become more effective and efficient at learning information in the
