My Learning Style Analysis

Improved Essays
I have learned that my learning style is the Diverging style. This means that I am best at viewing concrete situations from multiple points of view. I prefer to observe while learning, rather than taking immediate action. I find thinking of new ideas and gathering information is most suitable for me. I also enjoy hearing other peoples perspectives, as I have an open mind and it allows for me to learn new things. I also benefit from hearing feedback on my ideas and work, as it will teach me ways to improve my current skills and build new ones. As an individual who is both a student and an employee, the LSI has given me insight in the way I tend to prefer to learn. When I am learning at school, I prefer focusing on lectures and taking notes to get a better understanding of the material before jumping in and working on questions and equations. During training in my past and present jobs, I always liked to have my trainer explain to me how to do the job, and watch them perform tasks, before I give it a try myself. For example, I am currently employed as a receptionist for a real estate company, and during my training, I had my notebook out took notes on how to use the appointment booking system, and wrote a script for what to say to clients and agents on the phone.

I now understand that I learn best from watching, rather than doing. This means I need to focus on lectures and take good notes, and review the material before and/or after each class so that I can fully comprehend the material. I also think having a study group for each class would be very helpful, as hearing other peoples perspective and exchanging ideas is highly beneficial for me. If I am struggling, I should reach out to others and ask questions, rather than attempting to do the work on my own as that probably wont contribute to my

    According to the Learning Styles Inventory. My most developed and strongest learning styles are bodily-kinesthetic, verbal-linguistic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal. The test reveals that I am not highly developed in any particular type of intelligence and I am weak and underdeveloped in visual-spatial, logical-mathematical, and naturalist intelligences. The book suggests that as a person with stronger interpersonal strengths, study strategies such as going over notes with fellow students are helpful. Based on my results as a strong verbal-linguistic individual, rewriting my notes in order to eliminate excess information and to hone into the important ideas, would be beneficial to my success in this course.…

    By competing the Honey and Mumford learning style questionnaire (2006), I have been able to understand a reflector is my dominant style of learning and activists to be my weakest style of learning. As a reflector, my learning normally begins at reflective observation stage (Fee, 2011). Fleming (2011) states that I observe, gather and evaluate information from a range of perspectives before acting. This learning style enables me to capitalise on reflective learning; through the evaluation of my work activities, I can identify which areas need to be improved as far as my clinical knowledge and skills are concerned. Moreover, this style supports collaborative learning and critical debate skills which are essential for palliative care practice…

    My personal learning style is kinesthetic. I like to have a feel for the particular assignment. For example, when I was in elementary school, I remember one of my teacher was explaining math and for some reason I was not getting it. My teacher pulled me aside and told me, “How about you use some blocks to explain the problem?” When I was a little girl, I used to build large towers in my room.…

    The way I have always studied for a class has been to read all the material given by the professor, memorize the things that I believe to be most important and then write everything down from my memory while saying it out loud. When I get confused or I make a mistake I go back to that lecture or chapter and I review again, writing down things that I forgot as I go. After I have written down everything I need, I go back to the beginning of my notes and read them chunk by chunk. As I finish reading a chunk, I stand in front of a mirror and teach myself everything I have written down and try to make sure that I understand what I am teaching myself. This has helped me very much during the course of my previous semesters but sometimes I believe that I am just memorizing concepts and cheats instead of critically thinking and understanding the information.…
