TOPIC 1 GETTING READY TO LEARN

1) WHAT IS YOUR LEARNING STYLE?

➦ List your learning style.

My learning style showed that I am a visual and auditory learner .

MY SCORES

AUDITORY: 35%

VISUAL: 65%

TACTILE:0%

I want to talk about my my first learning style is visual . I'am a visual learner , i learn by reading or seeing picture . I understand and remember things by sight . I can picture what we are learning in head and i learn best by using methods that are primarily visual . I like to see what i learning . I have some things that visual learner like me can do to learn better such as take notes during class while listening to presentations , study by looking over things and ask a lot of question to lecturer. Besides that, i want to talk about my second learning style is auditory . I learn by hearing and listening . I understand and remember things that i have heard . I store information by the way it sounds, and i have an easier time understanding spoken instructions than written ones. I often learn by reading out loud because i have to hear it or speak it in order to know it . I also have some things that auditory learners like me can do to learn better such as study new material by reading it loud and use flashcards to learn new words and read them out loud.

➦Do you have any strong preferences to learn a certain way?

If so,what are they?

Yes , i have my ways to learn is with write notes . For example , i write down a important point that had been given from my lecturer . This way can help me to organised my thoughts , help me to identify the key elements to learn for exams and it also was help me to remember what i have learnt in class .The others benefits of write notes it was help me to do revision in exam for the last minute .Writing notes has memory of similar kind and hence my memory of the topic is stronger for longer period . It was making easy for me to answer the question in the exam .

Besides that, the ways that i'am doing is asking question s to my lecturer if i'm not understand what i learn in any topics. After i understand about any difficult topic , i will teach my friends .Because with this way i will remember about my studies . The others benefit of asking question is it was help me to improves my communication skills because communication is not complete until there is an understanding and feedback. Asking relevant question will help me to achieve better understanding of any subject matter in discourse.And the last of benefit is it was help me to improves my knowledge .Because, in my opinion when i ask more question , i will get more new knowledge from other people.

Thirdly, i will pay more attention in class . Because this way will help me to hear what is been taught in class . For example ,in the class , i should be ready to learn with sit in the front to hear what my lecturer teach ,not talk with my friend to make a jokes and i'm also prepare my things what supposed i have to use such as pen , highlighter, and others.In my opinion , we also have must strong mentality in other to pay more intention in class.

2) Write one paragraph that discusses how your learning style works. Use three examples from own life and academic experience.

I will share my three examples of learning style from my own life and academic experience. Firstly i was joining a study group with my friends.My friend and i will make a study group at the weekend or after class around 3pm. In the study group we will discuss about difficult topic. This learning style so important in student life because make a study group can encourage members to think out loud and explain their ideas. It also can help us to improve communication skills with people during discuss about study.Secondly, i will manage my time to study. For example i make a study schedule and following it to achieve my successful in my studies. Because this way can help us to manage time with wisely so that we would have enough time to doing revision. It also help me to know when i must to study, rest and playing.

Last but not least, i will test myself. This way will help me to gauge which area that i need to focus on more. Because sometimes i think i know the concept but when i try to answer the question i feel it as challenge. This way also help to understand my topics in very well. For examples i used online test even past paper to test myself. This is just what i can share about my learning style work from my own life and academic experience.
