According to The Vark learning styles questionnaire the two learning styles that I learn best with best are aural and kinesthetic. Aural means I learn best when hearing the information spoken and by asking questions about the concept I am learning. The other way I learn best is being kinesthetic which means I use my five senses and hands on experiences to help me learn. The Aural side of me likes to remember stories, examples, and jokes, to be to relate them to the concept I am learning. I have found that I when attended class and really focus on what the instructor or professor is teaching I am able to grasp the concept that is being taught.…
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…
Also learn different styles of learning, which include: cognitive, meta-cognitive, and socio-effective. I now know what that I am a visual, nonverbal type of learner. This will help me in my other classes, as well as my future education. At the beginning I discussed having problems with my papers. However, this class has forced me into working at a faster pace and made me realize that it was my procrastination that was holding me back.…
Learning Techniques (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Tactile) Neil Fleming had ample recognition for his research and teaching. He developed a popular and widely used learning style called VARK. It identifies the student preference for auditory, visual or kinesthetic. This method is also known as VAKT (Visual, Auditory, Kinesthetic, and Tactile) and is available online to determine a child's learning style.…
The Kolb Learning Styles Inventory is something new to me. I have never seen anything like this until I took this class. When they had us take the test to find out our learning patterns, I was excited to learn what my patterns consisted of. When first reading my results, I was stunned at how on point I felt it analyzed me. As I continued to review my inventory I found parts that I disagree with.…
The results from the “learning style inventory” test told me a lot about my preferences. For example, I prefer to sit down and not move around to learn. I also prefer doing things on my own. Learning is very important to me and I get satisfaction as a result of a successful learning experience. I have a low tactile which means it is not important for me to touch or feel things in order to learn about them.…
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.…
The learning style assessment, in my opinion was very accurate with how I feel I study. The assessment consisted of a variety of questions that range from our everyday life out of school to the way we do stuff in classes. Some of the questions asked allowed you to choose multiple answers, which I feel they should have allowed this for the entire assessment rather than just a few. Once completing the assessment, it gave you a breakdown out of all three learning styles; audio, hands on, and visual, which one is your most used way of learning and then listed the rest in a different order following. Each individual learning style had a percentage next to it and also an understanding of what exactly it is below the scores.…
Learning style strengths: The learning style assessment tool stated my strengths are tactile, auditory, and visual are the sequence of order, from the learning assessment tool. The strongest point is tactile sensory skills, which I believe is in everyone, which increase learning potential. Even in my work environment I try to involve most of my job duties, with a hands-on approach. The weak point is auditory and visual skill affected because of bright lights and the sun, which affects my vision in order to absorb and learn what 's happening in my environment.…
Upon completion of the Learning Style Inventory, I’ve found that I am predominantly an auditory learner. This was fascinating to me because I have always considered myself a visual learner. This new discovery will serve me well going forward in Bethel University’s online program as well as in my career. I feel like I will able to better approach each assignment and better prepare for each work day. I will continue to rely on visual aids as well because I love to read and absorb information through written instructions.…
Learning is multidimensional. Very seldom will a learner use just one type of learning style. There are four different learning styles: Visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic and multimodal. Multimodal is a combination of two or more of the learning styles. Those who are multimodal in their preferences can be more flexible about how they take in and give out information than those with a VARK profile that emphasizes a single preference.…
The interpretation is that one did well in identifying, perceiving and expressing emotions in myself and others is an area. This aspect of emotional intelligence enables you to read others, understand how they feel, and effectively identify your own emotions. Continually, the personality traits score indicates that one possess characteristics of mildness rather than roughness. It was said that roughness entails contestation, toughness and aggressiveness whereas mildness involves “resignation, smoothness and harmony.” According to the learning style assessment, the result was visual six, aural was nine, read/write was eight, and kinesthetic was six.…
When I first began this class I thought that this would be just another introductory class that is required to orient you to the expectations of the particular college. Now, after completing this class, I know that this is not the case. Personal Dimensions of Learning has been a great help, not only to my school work, but also in my daily life. Before taking this class, I thought that learning, and completing daily tasks, were mostly memorizing the order of the way things are supposed to be done and just completing the task. I never liked this strategy, but it always seemed to be the most convenient way to get things done at school, home, and work.…
