information exploring the art of learning new material, as well as techniques to help anyone out on their academic journey. We will discuss different learning styles and how they may affect your performance. We will also cover how teachers present information and their unique teaching styles.

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…
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…
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.

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…
an effective online resource that encourages student participation by engaging them in online quizzes, discussion forums, and or online surveys.

Kahoot is easy to use, does not require users to download special applications, and is compatible with electronic device that have access to the internet: iPhone, android phones, personal computers,…
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…
learner and presenter is an important component of the behavior change process, because there is a moderate but consistent positive relationship between learner ratings of the therapeutic alliance and outcome (Connors et al., 2016). To maximize learning outcomes in this educational project, the educator implemented the element of the learner satisfaction by paying extra attention to every single member of the group. Each participant received positive reinforcement in response to the learned…
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…
personal learning style is the beginning step to a successful education. Once you uncover how you learn, you will find that you are able to learn much better.

In simpler terms, it means that my learning preferences include visual, aural, reading/writing, and…
