What "learning style" are you?

Are you visual, auditory, reading/writing, and/or kinesthetic?

Also, do you feel that by knowing what "learning style" you are has helped support your education?

Look forward to your responses.

Kind regards,
Chad

I m apparently all 4 but that doesn't help me as I had specific learning difficulties so have specific weaknesses.

Hi Claire, thank you for your response. I was recently listening to a podcast from PsychCrunch about "learning styles" and being all four is not unusual, most of us use each one of these methods in learning something. Please see link: https://digest.bps.org.uk/podcast/

Regarding your weaknesses, what support have you received for this and have you developed strategies to overcome your weaknesses?

Look forward to hearing back from you.

Kind regards,
Chad

Gonna be that guy and point out that there's no evidence to support "learning styles" being a thing.

Well, there is very little evidence that it supports education. Please see the PsychCrunch link above.

Yes, I would also use this technique. Would you write on ppt notes beside slides?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Kind regards,

That's useful. Do you find that writing things down helps you process information better? Have you ever recorded notes electronically?

Kind regards,
Chad

Yeah, that's helpful. Some people have told me that they prefer to take notes during lecutres instead of having print offs of ppt because it helps them stay focused and engaged. Do you agree with this?

umm no, one thing i have to write fast then my handwriting gets bad and then i dont understand what i have written, second although i listen to the lecturer i tend to drift away and forget stuff so i have to have a printed version to make short notes.
