Learning Style Inventory

Before you start studying or learning something new, you should know your learning style. How to know your learning style? Well there are several ways this can be done. For example, you can answer some questions about your ways of studies. Here's an example of me answering those question:

Scoring Your Inventory

By adding up your inventory, you can easily know your learning style. Your learning style would be the highest score that you get. If you have a high score in more than one area, that means you're using additional modalities.

CHARACTERISTICS OF VISUAL, AUDITORY, AND KINESTHETIC MODES

If your preferred style is visual, you have strong visualization skills and can remember objects, shapes, and pictures. You learn by reading, and by watching films, vidoes, and demonstrations. You can see pictures in your mind. Visual learners need to see information.

If your preferred style is auditory, you have a

“good ear” and can hear differences in tones and rhythm. Reading out loud will be beneficial.

You can remember what you hear in a lecture.

If your preferred style is auditory, you have a “good ear” and can hear differences in tones and rhythm. Reading out loud will be beneficial. You can remember what you hear in a lecture. Auditory learners need to hear information.

If your preferred style is kinesthetic, you are a hands-on learner. You have good coordination and learn by doing. You generally have an active approach to learning. Kinesthetic learners need to be physically active and doing things.

My personal learning style is Visual and Kinesthetic. This means i'm using additional modalities 😁

Using Multi-Sensory Learning

Visual learners: • Create mind maps, flow charts, and diagrams using bright colors. Put them where                                 you can view them frequently. 

                          • Practice building your visual memory. 

                          • Rewrite your notes using different colors. 

Auditory learners: • After you read a page in your textbook, summarize the information out loud in                                     your own words.  

                              • Tape your instructor’s lecture, and if you are a commuter, listen to the tape on                                       the  way home, either in your car, or on the bus or subway. 

                              • Discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group. 

Kinesthetic learners: • Use your hands. Cut up charts and diagrams. Create flash cards and move                                             them around with large, sweeping movements. 

                                  • Walk and talk the information. Recite as you move. 

                                  • Type on a computer keyboard. You are using your muscle memory.

• Attend all classes

• Be an active learner

My name is Muhammad Adam Haiqal bin Mohd Redzuan. I will be officially 18 years old by 19th November this year. I'm from Ipoh, Perak and this year will be the first year for me to further my studies at UiTM Tapah which is located at Perak. I will be taking on the Diploma in Computer Science (CS110). This blog will be about my first assignment which is an e-Portfilo project (UED 102). Please excuse any flaws in this blog as it is my first time writing one. Without further ado, let's get started 😁
