Reflection Of My Personal Solitary Learning Style

Improved Essays
There are approximately 7 billion individuals on this planet—7 billion different identities, all of us with a unique personality that is reflective of our own life experiences. Every human being in this world is unique and each individual has different ways in which they learn. There are seven specific learning styles that we as society are meant to fit into: visual, aural, verbal, physical, logical, social and solitary. And although it 's to be believed that we should fit into one particular category, I believe that every individual likely falls into each learning style listed above, some categories more than others. This is what makes me, me and makes you, you, which in turn allows us to be our own person, slightly differing from everyone else. To be successful in both the academic environment and the working environment, we must utilize all the …show more content…
My learning style involves collecting information before making any comments. I suppose if you wanted to fit me into one specific category it would probably be a solitary (intrapersonal) learning style. With a solitary learning style, I 'm considered “more private, introspective and independent. You can concentrate well, focusing your thoughts and feelings on your current topic. You are aware of your own thinking, and you may analyze the different ways you think and feel” (Solitary [intrapersonal] learning style). By being able to to understand how I feel and think, I believe these aspects will aid in my nursing career and how I care for my patients in a clinical setting, I wouldn 't imagine that this would hinder my ability to do my job to the best of my ability. There are many aspects that make my quietness a benefit: I know how to really listen, my observational skills are superb, and I have the ability to think before I speak—my quietness may even become one of my

    One of my personal heroes who displays naturalist intelligence is Steve Irwin (1962-2006). As a kid, I grew up watching Steve’s television series, “The Crocodile Hunter”, a wildlife documentary show which followed Steve as he went out into the wild in various countries around the world to interact with animals. His show went on to become the highest ever rated on the Animal Planet channel. Steve was a strong supporter of environmentalism and the conservation of endangered species. One of his accomplishments was the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation, which is now known as Wildlife Warriors Worldwide, an organization established with the intention to educate people in the protection of injured, threatened, or endangered wildlife, and some of…

    Being unique is what makes everything diverse and more functioning. That is why sometimes our personal identity is a positive thing. People should be true to their identity, but this is not so easy when society and roles are changed all the time. Another theory that is a part of a person’s personal identity is the looking- glass self. It describes how people develop their identity through their interactions and relationships they form from the context of society (Noonan 112).…

    Theory of Change Management Peter Senge promotes the idea of a Learning Organization as a theory of change management in his book ‘The Fifth Discipline’. Senge (2006) encourages the “rethinking of corporate philosophy” and a commitment to individual learning to establish a learning organization. Individual learning, according to Senge (2006), does not guarantee a learning organization, but without it, learning organization is impossible. Individual learning, therefore, is key to the establishment of a learning organization. Encouragement for individual learning requires “tapping the potential of people” according to Senge (2006).…

    The relationship between academic achievement and self-efficacy beliefs in adult learners Introduction Self and identity researchers have long held that beliefs about the self are both a product of situations and a shaper of behaviour in situations (). The relationship of self-beliefs to motivation and performance in academic settings is well documented (). In addition, a growing body of research has evidenced the role of adult learning in contributing to changes in academic and global self-efficacy (). If we accept the precept of Bandura’s () reciprocal determinism, a review into the relationship between academic achievement and self-efficacy beliefs in adult learners is meaningful because global self-efficacy has been shown to mediate…

    Personal identity is a common philosophical struggle that humans face. What makes us who we are, and why are we here are two crucial questions we have debated over since the dawn of civilization. From birth, we are constantly gaining experience and knowledge not only to survive but also to create our own world-view. Even though we are complex creatures, we have a tendency to categorize the world around us into simple boxes. When a new topic is introduced which doesn’t already fit in one of our boxes, we are offset by this idea.…

    There are so many reasons people are pro homework. People say “it helps them become smarter or helps them on test,” But there is a lack of evidence where it actually supports their claims, that it helps students at all especially at such a young age. with Alfie Khon “The positive effects of homework are largely mythical.”(Khon). It also seems that homework is being forced onto younger students more often than the older ones. I remember getting tons of homework in Elementary school, and not having the time to play outside, the stress, and my parents struggling to help me on problems I didn’t know.…
