Analysis
Share your answer with your group:
1. What are your scores tell you about your learning and thinking styles?
It turned out that I am a Visual learner, which means that I learn best through
what I see or observe. I do note-taking and summarizing notes and use outlines
in order for me to remember and learn effectively, I find it easy to remember
lessons that way. I also prefer to label things to avoid confusions. I also love
doing to-do list because I find it hard to remember things easily. Especially
when there is an upcoming examinations and projects to be submitted, I write
all the schedules on a sticky note and paste it on the wall. Even when buying at
the grocery store, sometimes I bring with me a note to avoid forgetting what to
buy. I also get piss if someone bothers me when I’m doing something, I am
focus on doing.
2. Do you agree with your scores? Yes. Because the results show and explain
me as a learner. In which learning style I am strong and weak. And also it
would help me a lot in improving my learning strategies.
3. Is it possible for one to score equally on the three styles? Explain.
I think yes, it is possible. Because sometimes we learn easily when we are
watching someone doing it first, before we do it and learn from it. Sometimes we
find it hard to understand a visualize problem until our teacher explains it.
Sometimes we find it easy to understand what our teacher was saying until
they show us an image or draw it on the board. It just depends in the situation.
We can use different learning styles in different circumstances.
