Learning Style Assessment Results

Learning styles are people's different ways of learning. There are three main learning styles: auditory learning, visual learning, and kinesthetic learning. Auditory learning applies to people who remember and absorb new concepts the most through listening. They can develop their learning through recording the lectures and lessons to listen again, or reading materials aloud to help them understand the information easily. Visual learning applies to people who draw in much information through reading or looking. Because the visual learners "visualize" the words and images in their brain to process information, drawing diagrams or taking notes can help them remember a lot. Kinesthetic learning applies to people who can acquire new knowledge the best through movements and activities, such as building stuff. As the kinesthetic learners want to move around instead of sitting down for the whole lecture, they should participate in dynamic activities and act out (if possible) the new concepts to fully comprehend what they learned.

The analyzed results about my learning style were, surprisingly, very similar to my actual learning habits. I study well in cool-temperatured and bright places, where I independently focus on what I am doing instead of multi-tasking (eating or chatting with friends). I am driven by self-motivation mostly, but sometimes affected by teacher feedbacks and parent expectations. I understand and remember the best when I hear and write down, but I am okay in learning through reading and doing kinesthetic activities. The only minor flaw the result had was that it said I lacked in learning through visuals - as I am a person who enjoys learning, and have learned well through reading and comprehending visual aids until now. However, I do think that I am more of an auditory learner - I used to be an excellent visual learner, grasping new information by throughly reading and understanding the resources, but nowadays I am better at absorbing information when I listen to the teachers. Also, I often find myself more focused and more engaged in studying when I read a context out-loud to myself.
