There are many styles of learning. I will first like to explain what is leaning styles? According to the web site " www.ldpride.net/learningstyles.MI.htm#Learning Styles Explained", learning styles are simply the different approaches or way of learning. We can see that there are distinct ways of learning some things be it in school or real life. There are three types of learning styles. Auditory learners, Visual learners and kinesthetic learners. I could describe my self a kinesthetic learner, due some certain fact, which I am going to illustrate here below.
Apart from kinesthetic learning, I can also said I am a visual learner. In all my life, I have always been used to face-to-face contact or Visual leaning. I found this technique one of the best. When I am standing in front of a tutor, that is my best time i can learn. When a tutor explain or talk i try to visualize what he is talking. Visual leaning can be done using diagram, textbook, video, classroom discussion and hand out while some prefer to indirect contact or auditory method. These auditory methods require the learner to interpret a lecture based on tone of voice, pitch and pauses.
As a learner, i see visual learning as one of the best, since it enable a leaner to clear the dough he or she may have. I can take an example about myself for those who know me very well, I am somebody who makes sure that before the end of a class i understand at least two third of what was thought in that class. In fact what really determine auditory learning styles is my environment, my Goal, how far are my willing to sacrifice, my concentration during leaning, and lastly my impression about the subject. One of the factors that affect or have an impact on the learning styles on my learning styles is my environment. Why I say it? It is because a good environment determines my learning style. My environment depends on the atmosphere of the class, my studying environment and so. As a learner I like to learn in an environment that is not too noisy, too crowded and where I can express my self clearly. A good example that happened to me was during this summer I had the chance to take chemistry at the college. It was very small class of not 28 students, I had the opportunity to express myself, say what I think. But what I found a bite difficult in the university is some of my classes are in huge room of 100 which I can hardly say what you think. Also because they professor can have the chances to know they problems of each individual.
One of the things that have helped me as a learner is my methods of learning or the styles of learning. How do I work best? Is the important question here? What determine how best suite my learning style is the sight, hearing, touché and movement. These are the things that enable me to understand and memories easily. My sight has helped me a lot since I am in Humboldt state university not only in Humboldt but in my life. But how has it really help me? I did not like to highlight or make note in my text book last semester. I found it useless and thought that there was no used highlighting something because I was not sure to read it over, because I believe that reading something over and over make it boring. I had a very bad grade in botany and I wanted to know why went wrong and went to the learning center. When I was consulting I realized that the counselor was always in sighting on which way I am studying. He advised me to try and created additional text, make note on textbook and make use of color if I found it easy to remember. I started using it during summer and I realized that it was one so easily used and it really helps me. I do not like hearing because I found it easily to remember. Movement also helps in learning. When I am learning I like to make movement with my hand because it enable me to memories easily and recall easily.
Learning styles is a learning method that depended on some factors. One of these factors is Felling or impression. Feeling depended on what he or she thing the course is all about. Most student before getting to a class feel discourage because he or she has hear that the course is difficult or because the professor is too hard on student or that course is boring. Some may take it as a challenge while on the other hand while it may discourage some student. I have realized last semester that some student do not perform very well in a class because one f his friends told him that he professor who will be given him lecture suck or he or she like to give homework. I had a friend last semester who was taken a course at in HSU at the middle of the course her professor had an accident asand they where give another professor. She was so curious that she wanted to know what are the technique to get an A in the course so when instead to ask one of her friend who had the opportunity to be in that professor class. Her friend just told her what she her mind that the professor suck, it was not easy to get even a B ion his class and he like to give assignment. When she her these she was reluctant going to class, she was always complaining , she did not make any effort and she finally end up with a C- when she was having a B at the middle of the term. I think our impression determine the style of learning. It is a good impression or a bad impression
