Do you know what a learning style is?
Do you know what your dominant learning style is?
Learning
styles are the way, or ways, in which we each best intake and process
information. Educational researchers have categorized four main styles. Some
people, around 60%, have multiple learning styles. Once you know your learning style(s), you can use that information to
develop best strategies for yourself. This means that you will be more
efficient and less stressed as you:
1)
Intake new
information.
2)
Assimilate that
information.
3)
Output that
information for assignments and exams.
Here
are two very good websites for you to explore. They both have diagnostic
questionnaires to help you discover your learning styles and strategies for you
to get the most out of your learning experience.
