Learning styles (M3)

Everyone has a learning style that they prefer. What are learning styles? Learning styles are the way in which people find easiest to learn, there are three different learning styles audio, visual and kinaesthetic. Audio means that people find it easiest to learn from someone speaking, visual means people find it easiest to learn by reading and kinaesthetic means that the find it easiest to learn from doing the work. I am a visual and kinaesthetic learner.


During lessons we were put in to groups to see how each learning style paired with another could work well or not. I was partnered with Jordan who was kinaesthetic but it didn't work well because my partner wasn't good at working in pairs because he wouldn't allow me to do any work.

Pragmatist means dealing with the problems that exist in a specific situation in a reasonable and logical way instead of depending on ideas and theories. 

Reflector is conscientious but has a problem getting started.

Activist are suited to getting hands on with what they are doing rather than listening to lectures.

Theorist are people that stand back and think about the work before they start doing the work.

I believe that I am a theorist because during our lesson we had 10 pieces of paper and 10 strips of tape that we had to use to make a bridge from one desk to another. The reason this activity made me believe that I am a theorist is because Tyler tried to go straight in to doing the work because he is a pragmatist and I stopped him so that I could think of a logical way in which to so this activity then we came up with an idea and manage to create the only bridge that worked in the class.
