Learning Styles

[Kowalski]

HAVE YOU EVER HAD TROUBLE LEARNING SOMETHING? DID YOU OVERCOME THE PROBLEM? HOW?

 

 

 

Have you ever sat in class wondering if you would ever grasp the information that was being taught? maybe the presentation didn't fit your learning style!!

 

 

 

Our minds and bodies gather information in different ways and from all around us: seeing, hearing, and doing.... Then our brains process that information, organizing it and making connections to things we already know. This process can also work in different ways: Do we think in pictures or words? Do we remember details or the big picture?

 

 

 

When we're trying to learn, it helps to know how our brain works. How do we best gather and organize the information? Different people have different learning styles. For example, one person might struggle with written information but understand it immediately in an illustration. Another person might have problems with the picture, but not the written texts.

 

 

 

Psychologists have identified seven basic learning styles:

 

 

 

1-LINGUISTIC: These people learn by using language - listening, reading, speaking and writing.

 

2-LOGICAL: These people learn by applying formulas and scientific principles.

 

3-VISUAL: These people learn by seeing what they are learning.

 

4-MUSICAL: Instead of finding music a distraction, these people learn well when information is presented through music.

 

5-KINESTHETIC: Movement and physical activities help these people learn.

 

6-INTRAPERSONAL: These people learn best if they associate new information directly with their own experiences.

 

7-INTERPERSONAL: These people learn well by working with others.

 

 

 

You will often encounter situations that do not match your strongest learning style. if u know what your strengths are, you can develop strategies to balance your wicknesses, for a more successful learning experience.

 

 

 

P.S. what's your learning style?
