In one of my courses, in addition to talking about preference to using the left or right sides of our brains, we dicuss learning styles.
I have my students take this survey to find out what learning style they prefer.
Taking the survey myself only confirms what I knew to be true. I am a very visual learner. I wanna see it in black and white--and color. Sometimes even just writing something down and throwing the paper away improves my ability to remember it.
Below is my chart from taking the survey.
Hey, did you change your background color? I just noticed it today, and it looks great.
ReplyDeleteI also took those sorts of tests two years ago. I wasn't surprised to learn that I am a highly visual learner, but I was surprised to learn that I am also a highly kinesthetic learner. Now, I realize that is true. Let me see it, or let me touch it, but by all means don't try to tell me about it because I won't remember a word you say! I love to use my hands and my eyes--guess that makes the computer a natural for me.
I am highly kinesthetic....and audiory! I can't keep my hands off things!
ReplyDeleteAmanda, do you know the name of the learning styles survey you used above? I would like to use it with 4th grade students. Thank you, Vicki
ReplyDeleteHi Vicky,
ReplyDeleteI had my students use the one at this URL: http://www.lancsngfl.ac.uk/learnstyles/
Hope that helps.
Thank you, Amanda. I am doing grades 3-6 and like this one--especially for those visual learners--like me!
