Now I get it: Learning Styles

There are a lot of learning types. I asked, which am I? By doing some research, I found my learning types. I’m dominantly a visual learner, but also learn as a active or kinesthetic learner which is through activities, knowing this helps me to realize how to grasp ideas in classes and how to make my understanding stronger . Its interesting to know how people can figure out my learning styles through simple surveys. Through most of the surveys that I took showed that I was most heavily a visual learner.

The same is for Active learning, I want to test the idea. Their was some learning styles that I was more half and half on such as, sensing and global. With sensing, I do like facts but for some classes I like to ponder theories, the ifs, thens. The tests put more towards sensing which was fine, but it felt like it left no room for institutive or the learners who like theories, possibilities, or relationships (Felder). I thought this research will be beneficial to help me learn. There are some things I already do that conform to my learning types like, rewriting the important things in my notes to help me visualize them before a test. It also seems to help to write things over and over to memorize them. I will continue doing these

Likewise, students, who are usually required to recall learning materials, are recommended to view future new materials with strong enthusiasm and determination (Shuilleabhain, 2014), as it is an approach to motivate students. However, students should take care not to practice learning techniques they are not familiar with, especially when nearing the exams; as students who, Lan (cited in Bednall and Kehoe, 2011, pp. 205-226) believes, “engage in unfamiliar strategies may induce a high working memory load, thereby diminishing the effectiveness of their study efforts.” Also, both teachers and parents alike should take the practical and relevant steps in ensuring that their students/children are well schooled in the manner of implementing effective learning techniques in their academic life.
