than me doesn’t necessarily mean that I can’t learn something from them or develop new ideas (Multiple Intelligences – Assessment). Developing an interpersonal strength has made it easier for me to interact in groups such as: group projects and team learning, which is a skill that I lacked throughout high school. I was always one to enjoy doing projects on my own rather than working together and this was a result of selfishness. I wanted to be the one that was rewarded for a job well done…
It is also said that people do not necessarily have only one modality. Some might have auditory and kinesthetic perception. Others might have multiple sensory preferences. 2 What Kind of Learning Styles Do ESL Learners Prefer? Reid (1987) conducted survey on the learning style preferences of ESL learners. He analyzed the data based on various categories: age, mother language, TOEFL score, length of time in U.S., major fields, etc. Among them, we will discuss three background differences…
even a standard. The presentation is presenting a problem that was around for centuries, but the digital age has made it more apparent that visual learning works so much better for more people that they may have realized. I did not know about the various learning styles until long after I attended a tech school that was based on Kinesthetic learning where after a 4-hour class, a 4-hour lab followed within 8 hours or less of that day 's lecture. We learn by doing after hearing and seeing…
Multiple Learning Styles A learning style is a consistent preference over time and subject matter for perceiving, thinking about, and organizing information in particular way. It is a different approach to ways of learning. Each student will have a preferred learning style rather they can recognize it or not. Some students may prefer visual or verbal instruction and then there are kinesthetic and reading learners. Learning styles are not fixed behaviors that we can get locked into. They are a…
GOAL SETTING Learning styles Learning styles is different ways to look at learning and it is usually based on your strengths, weaknesses and preferences. There are three styles of learning: Auditory, which is relating to hearing, visual, which is relating to seeing or sight and tactile, which is the connection of senses of touch. My learning style that got the highest for the quiz was tactile with 40% and the others, auditory and visual both 30%. This means it is easier for me to learn in hands…
specific learning style. Styles of learning are theories which suggest differences in individual learning styles and also suggest teachers adapt to suit the learning style of students, there are studies which contradict this theory. (Wikipedia 2014). The instrument we will use for the purpose of this essay is the Vark assessment method as designed by Neil Fleming. This questionnaire is instrumental in letting people know there are different ways of learning. Gathering of information or learning…
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…
The auditory brainstem response (ABR) test is frequently used to measure hearing sensitivity and to evaluate the auditory system. The test involved a computer measuring the way a child’s hearing nerve responds to different sounds. Audiologists performed the ABR recordings during both the study and control group. The process involved electrodes being placed typically on a child’s forehead and in front or in back of the ears. The electrodes are connected to the computer, and earphones are placed…
I want to first start off by saying this was a hearing person that talked about the functions of what an audiogram does. I observed a guested speaker who talked about the audiogram. She gave us information about what audiogram and what she does. An audiogram is a graph that shows the audible threshold for standardized frequencies as measured by an audiometer which as a Y and X axis. The Y axis represents intensity measured by decibels and the X represents the frequency by hertz. The threshold of…
The Case Study Scenario This scenario will revolve around Pete Parkson, a young 2nd grader that has transferred to Hope Primary Elementary School with his parent’s relocation to the area for personal reasons. Pete has Auditory Processing Disorder, or APD, and will need to have an IEP made for him. Luckily, his parents had managed to slide their move into the school semester and they have arrived in the middle of summer vacation to make the initial transition easier for Pete. The school staff,…
