How do you like to Learn?

The education industry is a service industry with a single aim: To Help People Learn!

Though the aim may appear straightforward, the task of educators is far from simple.  There are many reasons for this, not the least being that different people are more suited to learning in different ways.

Consider:

  • Auditory learners learn from what they hear.
  • Kinaesthetic learners learn by doing.
  • Visual learners learn by seeing an example or demonstration and watching.

Are you an auditory, a visual or a kinaesthetic learner?

Everyone is usually some of all three but also has a preference within these as a style for learning.  Neuroscience and learning experts suggest that the best teaching and learning situations are when all three styles are combined.  Each method reinforces the others and strengthens the learning Do you remember more things by pictures, photos what you saw in person, what someone showed you?  Do you remember more if you have heard someone or something say or play it?  Do you really need to get hands on and make it create it feel it, mix it, blend it yourself?

There are plenty of free online quizzes to help you work out what type of learner you are in these categories if you are not sure.

Visual Learners

Visual learners love looking at pictures or diagrams. 

  • You learn best with these graphs, sketches or some colour to your notes.  You are not unusual in your style of learning as almost 60% of learners are visual learners and generally therefore you should be able to remember around 75% of what you see.
  • Use mind maps to make study notes.  Flash cards with pictures on them as well as notes and any way you can represent your work as an image will help you remember.  Even taking, making or watching films and videos of the subject material or taking an excursion to see it will help visual learners.  Sit at the front of the class on a classroom so you get a close up of any pictorial information.  Sometimes having attractive and inspiring pictures around you will inspire you to study and learn better in the classroom or in your study space.
  • Using colour in your work and study notes also helps the visual learner to remember. 
  • Use a variety of colours typeface or writing and highlighters coded to mean different things to you. 
  • Use brightly colours picture and sketches to help visualise different point and combine these with different colour coded backgrounds that means something special to you.

Auditory Learners

Auditory learners if you are one of these learners you like to hear and absorb information better if someone says it, or if you yourself have the chance to talk about it.  Auditory learners are a smaller percentage of around 25-30% of all learners and again your recall if you are an auditory person should be about 70-75% of the subject. 

  • Make sure you sit at the front of the class or near speakers so you can hear everything. 
  • Teachers who can use anecdotal experience or stories about the learner will help it sink in for you. 
  • Record your notes.
  • Contribute to the class with answers and questions will help you to remember. 
  • Reading and reciting notes out loud will also help you to remember. 
  • Also making up rhymes, mnemonics and jingles will also help, so too will adding in your own anecdotes to the notes.

Kinaesthetic Learners

Kinaesthetic learners like to act out, touch, feel their studies.  Kinaesthetic leaners often take up kinaesthetic careers, such as dancing, mechanics, sign language, hand ceramics, arts of some type.  Given the other components the kinaesthetic group of leaners are the final 5-10 % of the population. 

  • Taking notes and even doodling on them helps these learners to engage and move as they learn. 
  • Volunteer to act out or role play parts of the learning if you are one of these learners. 
  • When you are studying move around as you read and study your notes. 
  • Possibly ride as exercise bike as you read pages or walk around the neighbourhood listening to a recording of your notes as you learn. 
  • Write out your notes in large print on a blackboard or screen so you can put your whole body into it. 
  • Devise skits or short role plays of characters to remember your work. 
  • Draw or create models of your learning as you study. 
  • Study in small amounts with plenty of movement and activities in between, use a small hand stress ball to keep your hands busy as you study. 
  • If possible, get some practical experience in the field as a volunteer or helper in the area of your study, so you can live it as you learn!
