Assignment 3


For my learning inventory styles test I am an auditory, visual learner. I learn best by hearing and seeing things when they are taught. Auditory learners learn best when they tape a lecture. I should take notes and listen to the lecture and go back to the taped lecture to fill in any gaps in the notes. Sitting close to the speaker or the teacher who is lecturing is something that will benefit my style of learning. After reading something I should summarize it and recite it out loud to myself. And repeat this until I have learned the material. I fully agree with my results of this test. I have found that sitting up close to the speaker and taking notes helps. But the most effective thing I have learned about my style of learning is taping or recording a lecture. This really has helped me in my main lecture style courses at UA. Listening to the lectures again while studying has helped me hear the information two or more times and memorize it.
                         For my cognitive style test I scored as a sensorial and rational. A sensorial person likes to receive information from the five senses. They mentally live in the present and uses common sense in thinking things over. This type of learner recalls information in full detail from the past. They like clear information. Thinking and feeling are the judging functions. This is the process of how someone processes the information. I would agree with this style as well. I think I am very much of the type of person who wants concrete information and for it to be clear and non-confusing. I am always thinking about future things, but always living in the present time. The biggest thing that stuck out to me was how much I can recall past events in full detail. I am very good at doing things like this. I can see a place one time and I could tell you how to get back to that one place without any trouble.

I will cater to all learning styles because, of course, I will most likely have all learning styles present in my classroom. I think having each learning style present in my classroom will allow me to open my eyes to how different and diverse each student is.
