2. 2) Personal learning preferences
• At the beginning of the class when I first took the learning preferences survey my scores were reflective: 5, sensory: 3,
verbal: 5, and sequential: 3. At the end of the class my thoughts on my learning preferences have remained relatively the same. I
still don’t have a strong preference for one style over another, and I don’t have too much difficulty in areas of learning that are not
my preferred style. I know I am still a reflective learner because I like to go at my own pace and take time on my own to think
about new information before talking about it. In all of my classes I benefit from verbal stimulation, by having teachers explaining
orally to me directions.
• At the beginning of this course my scores for the learning preference test were for active, 9, for senses, 9, for visual, 11 and for
sequential was 5. I have learned that the test results were accurate because I know that I do have a very strong preference for
active, senses, and visual learning techniques. I believe that towards the beginning of the class I was very dependent using an active
and visual style of learning. I found that I was unable to grasp concepts if I was not learning in either of those two styles. For
example I had a hard time if the course was based solely off text and there were no hands on activities or pictures to refer to.
After finding out that I had such a strong preference to certain learning styles, I tried to make myself become more aware and
train myself to learn how to learn through different styles while using the preferences I felt stronger in. Towards the end of the
class I began to realize that only being able to learn a specific way was holding me back in succeeding in other classes. As this
semester evolved I noticed myself getting better at using learning styles such as, sequential preferences.
