Learning style (M3)

I am a visual learner which means I learn better from seeing things explained with pictures and diagrams

My learning style test
.

Learning Style Part 2

For this we had to do a team activity where we worked in twos following instructions which were picked out by our teacher I was paired up with Oliver who was a visual and kinetic learner while I am a visual learner so we were lacking the audio part. the task was to follow instructions to about cutting paper so that it would make a circle big enough to fit 3 people were in competition with the other teams and given a time limit of 10 minuets to finish it in the end me and Oliver won I think this worked since because we were both visual we could see from the picture provided what it was going to look like other styles should have done better like the team who was all of them however they finished second and cheated by tying there circle since they did not cut it right.

Type Of Learning Styles

Pragmatist- a pragmatist is a very task orientated person and keen to test things out in practise and do not tend to think outside the box when it comes to ideas or problems they like to do the most obvious answer if they had to build something they would try to find the fastest way to build the thing and may ask for help if they need it.

Reflector-a reflector is a person who thinks a lot over a problem and does not like to take risk and don't like to jump to conclusions and are not very assertive when working in groups and are very likely to procrastinate if they were going to build something they would be more likely to look at every thing in the box and think about how they go together.

Activist-an activist is a very enthusiastic learner and has a tendency to try something out before thinking about the out comes or thinking about other thinks and like to get thing done on the first time
and like to be the centre of attention if they were to build something they would like to jump in and learn as they go and work out problems as they come.

Theorist-a theorist is someone who like to think very logically about what they are doing and like to do things that are certain to work I would be less likely to do something if it is not rationally thought out for example if they were going to learn to build something they would be more likely to grab the instructions to figure out how rather than just jumping in.

My Learning Style

I am a reflector this means that I do not get that involved in group work and like to keep quite while I am working in a group and hold back what I think I also take a while when it comes to thinking of an ide or question I also don't take many risks with my work and are likely to procrastinate. but I am also like a pragmatist but it depends on the situation that I am in like with school work I like to get it done as fast as I can.

How Can It Aid Personal Development

being aware of you learning style can hinder you but also help you to since the way it hinders you will be that you know what you can do may try to stay within the boundaries of what a reflector is but you can also be more than one so that why you it can help you not to have to try to be a certain one it can also help you by making you aware of what your weaknesses are so you know what you will have to work on like contributing to groups it can also help you when if you try to learn something new you will know the best way to do that
