My Learning Style

My Learning Style

After completing the Learning Styles test by Felder and Soloman I found that I rated very high as an active and visual learner. I rated relatively high as a sensing learner but I was rated fairly well balanced as a sequential leaner. 

I fully agree with these results as I know that I learn best if I am physically doing an activity. Being a visual learner is something that I already know as I have trouble remembering information if I just get told. I find it much easier to remember information if I am shown either by pictures, graphs or demonstrations. When learning a new topic I struggle to comprehend what is being taught if I am not given enough of a reference as to how the new information relates to the real world, with that in mind it is clear as to why I rated so high as a sensing leaner. I guess I rated fairly average as a sequential/global learner as sometimes I find myself performing a task in a sequential way when other times I find it easier if I just do the task randomly. I guess it all depends on the task to which way I prefer to complete it.

Introduction

This is my first ever blog and I am writing it for my E-Learning course at uni. I am in my second semester of my first year studying a Bachelor of Learning Management (secondary).  My two discipline subjects are ITD and HPE. I am hoping this subject will benefit me greatly in the classroom.
