Learning Styles

Learning Styles Stacey Meister University of Phoenix

The 3 Learning Styles
Visual Learners learn through seeing . They prefer to create pictures in their heads to help them remember information. They like charts, graphs, and hand-outs.
Auditory Learners learn through listening . They like talking things out and listening to what others have to say.
Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners learn through moving, doing and touching. They like hands on activities and don’t like to sit still for long periods of time.

My Personal Learning Style
I am a visual learner.
I like to picture the information as I learn.
It is hard for me to listen to a lecture and not take notes.
I am very organized and like teachers and students to be as well.

My Strengths
I provide my students with very organized notes.
I often use fun charts and diagrams to present my information.
I try to help my students to improve on organization.

My Weaknesses
I have a hard time remembering things when I don’t write them down.
It is hard for me to process information unless it is presented in a neat, logical way.
I don’t learn well by doing – I prefer to fully understand the task before physically doing something with the information.

How my learning style effects my teaching
As a visual learner I love to give my students hand – outs.
I always organize my information into charts and diagrams.
I love using pictures to help illustrate my ideas.

I try to help my students visualize the information we are learning. I help them to form pictures in their heads.
I love using color. I highlight important information and color code notes for my students.
I give my students detailed notes, but I highlight the important information so they don’t get overwhelmed.

In the past I haven’t incorporated a lot of kinesthetic activities into my lessons.
I don’t give my students as much of an opportunity to move around as I should.
Now that I understand the importance of incorporating all learning styles, I be able to incorporate more auditory and kinesthetic activities into my lessons.

The Importance of Understanding Learning Styles:
Now that I fully understand learning styles and how I learn, I can better incorporate all learning styles into my classroom.
I have given my students the opportunity to take learning inventory tests so they can better understand how they learn.

In Conclusion…
I am a better teacher for understanding how I learn. This allows me to play up my strengths and improve on areas of weakness.
By knowing how my students learn, I can gear my lessons towards their learning styles.
