Auditory learning

to consider your audience, their age, and technical comfort level. Starting first with the different types of learning theories, it is essential to look at which learning theories apply best to the eLearning environment. Another significant factor that would apply to eLearning is how the different generations, from the 1960s to present day, feel about technology.…

The Myth of Learning Styles “If a child can’t learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn.” This quote, by Ignacio Estrada, encapsulates the current American view of the learning styles theory. What learning style do you prefer to learn by? Some styles are more dominantly taught by educators than others. Is this fair? From the eyes of many, this would give some people a privilege that other people might not have based on their individual learning style. What is the truth…

actual research reasoning behind something as simple as staring at a picture. But, after reading many articles about learning theories, learning styles, andragogy/pedagogy and multiple intelligences, it was clear that there was more than meets the eye. The five learning theories, Behaviorist, Social, Cognitive, Psychodynamic and Humanistic learning is where it all begins. Although a learning theory is just how information is absorbed, processed, and retained, philosophers spent hundreds of years…

have our own learning style. There are three different learning styles, visual, auditory and kinesthetic/tactile learners, these 3 elements determine how well you learn and they are important factors in determining what study methods you should use and assimilate as you grow. After taking two different learning style tests I discovered that I am not only a visual learner but also a tactile learner. For the first test I received 35% compatibility for both tactile and visual learning styles. These…

Growing up I never really had a problem when it came to learning. It did not matter what the subject was, I always found a way to learn it. You know at that time of my life, caring about ‘how’ I learned was of no care to me just as long as I received no less than high B as my grade. I recently taken a self-assessment to see what my primary learning style is and the results were unsurprising. At 30% auditory, 35% visual, and 35% for tactile, the self-assessment reveals that I am a…

Everyone has their own style they prefer, there are several different learning styles that you can choice from. Visual, verbal and audio are a couple to just name a few. I will go over each one and explain what each one means. The Visual (Spatial) Learning Style First we will talk about the visual learning style. If you use the visual style, you prefer using images, pictures, colors, and maps to organize information and communicate with others. You visualize…

Self-Assessment Analysis For the purpose of this exercise, I performed the VARK (Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, Kinesthetic) Self-Assessment. Upon completion of the self-assessment, I was presented with the results, which were Visual 2, Aural 3, Read/Write 4, and Kinesthetic 7. This translates into a slight preference for Kinesthetic learning, in which I am more apt to learn from actually performing a task than attempting to simply hear about how it is performed, watching it be performed, or…

A broad knowledge of the theories relating to these areas assists teachers in understanding these complex processes. There are six focus areas of the Standard. The first two relate to students’: (i) inherent developmental and (ii) learning predispositions. A child’s physical, intellectual and social development are influenced by biological and environment factors, are interrelated and are all equally important (Kearns, 2010). Developmental stages for each of these areas can be explained…

alarms. A reduction in the number of false non-actionable alarms is associated with lessening the effect of alarm fatigue therefore increasing patient safety. The study further suggests that continuing nursing education and a commitment to life-long learning impacts patent…

require them to engage in the learning process. For instance, when I teach Social Studies, I do not simply tell them that the European Explorers invading North America impacted the First Nations. I model the value of understanding another’s way of life which allows them the opportunity to develop an empathy for the challenges and changes that have occurred in our countries past and the issues that we are facing in present day Canada.…
