What ways do you learn best?

Today you are going to work on a learning styles questionnaire.

First, you will answer all of the questions;
second, submit you answers;
third, print off the results;
then, click on the link for "Learning Style Descriptions."

When you have read over your learning style descriptions, consider whether or not you feel these descriptions are true. Write a COMMENT to this posting by clicking on the 'comments' button. Do NOT post your own post. You may read over other student's answers. In your response tell me whether you 1-) feel as though the learning style you were deemed is accurate; 2-) did any of the suggestions as to how to 'help yourself' make you think "Hey, that's an idea, I will try that!"

Here is the site http://www.engr.ncsu.edu/learningstyles/ilsweb.html. Cut and paste it in.

I scored a 7 as an active learner. I think this has changed for me over the years. I think I used to be a more reflective learner, but now I seem to have to do something to actually keep it in my head. I think the suggestions for this one are okay-but I still find I am much more comfortable studying by myself.

I scored a 9 for being intuitive. Hmm. I supppose as an English teacher, this doesn't suprise me too much-I love to analyze and see the Big Picture. :-) I am not much for little details.

I scored a 3 for verbal. This is a suprise for me. I am not sure if this is from reading too many little kid books or what, but I do like to see diagrams and I like to be shown outlines and overviews.However, I would have thought I was more of a verbal learner.

Lastly, I scored a 5 for global. This doesn't suprise me too much, although I would have thought I would have had a stronger score for global, I don't tend to do things in order. Although, once again, as I get older I seem to need to do things in order or I forget to do them! Summer Assignments--ahhh!

I found this survery to be interesting. I do think the suggestions are a bit helpful (hence me making YOU do it), but I think we should keep in mind that somedays we lean more towards one type of learning, other days towards another . . . and that is okay. I found it interesting to learn of new ways to learn!

Enjoy! Have a wooonderful weekend!
