Visual
learners. In a learning context you learn best through seeing
–
flash cards, videos, diagrams and charts work well for you. To assimilate
learning
and information you always need to have something
written,
e.g. handouts, worksheets. You prefer illustrated materials,
preferably
in colour. When you make notes they are well-organized
and
often illustrated by diagrams and drawings and you are good at
detail.
When you need to remember something you visualize how
it
looked, e.g., place and people – you are good at remembering
faces,
but forget names. You are sensitive to ‘body language’ and
understand
meaning, emotions, moods from facial expressions and
posture.
You are not good at following oral instructions, preferring
to see
something demonstrated, or written down. You ‘switch off’ if
you
have to listen to others’ speaking for prolonged periods and you
have a
tendency to daydream.
Auditory
learners. In a learning context you learn best through listening.
You
have a good ear and do well in pronunciation work. You are
confident
about speaking out and answering in class. You can follow
lectures
quite easily without becoming distracted and are able to assimilate
spoken
information efficiently. You are usually successful
in
oral exams. You also like to read things aloud to yourself to help
you
understand. You prefer spoken instructions and explanations,
you
find written instructions difficult. When you need to remember
something
you think about sounds and things people said. You can
memorize
facts and information easily and you are good at telling
jokes
and stories. You like working in groups, brainstorming, discussing
and
exchanging information. You are not keen on reading,
making
notes or writing things down.
Kinaesthetic
learners. In a learning context you learn best through
moving,
doing and touching. You need to have ‘hands-on experience
to
assimilate learning. You like to take things apart to find out
how
they work, rather than reading instructions or studying diagrams.
In
class you respond well to discovery techniques. You are good at
drawing
and you often doodle during listening activities. You perform
well
in role plays and activities where you can move around and talk
to
others. You are easily distracted and have a tendency to fidget
during
lectures and talks. You get bored quickly if you have to sit for
too
long. You remember things by recalling actions. You like to think
things
through and work out problems while you are taking exercise.
Mixed
style learners are very lucky as they can adapt to any learning
situation.
You
benefit from visual stimuli such as diagrams, charts, pictures.
You
use visualization to remember things and you can pick up meaning
from
body language. You are equally comfortable with listening to lectures
and
spoken information as you are with written instructions. You are an able
communicator – a good listener as well as a good speaker.
You
also enjoy moving around, for example doing mingle activities and
you
enjoy role plays.
