Reflection 2

         I took the VARK questionnaire and discovered that I am a multimodal learner. I am more Kinesthetic and Aural with Read/Write a number below. I also am a visual learner although not as much as the other three. I looked up each of my learning styles and was amazed to see the words describing the ways that I learn. I have always thought of myself as a kinesthetic and a read-write learner. I knew that I was partially an aural and a visual learner. I was not surprised to see what my learning style was but was amazed that the assessment conformed what I already knew. I found information on my different learning styles at http://www.ldpride.net/learningstyles.MI.htm The information that I found on the websight explained why I have a hard time sitting for a very long time and how I get distracted so easily. This helps me to understand the reason and so now I can focus on finding an solution. “Kinesthetic persons learn best through a hands-on approach, actively exploring the physical world around them. They may find it hard to sit still for long periods and may become distracted by their need for activity and exploration.”
         I have always been a hands on person and that comes from being an kinesthetic learner. I have always had to write down everything that I was studying for a test do to the read-write learning style. I always like to read aloud what I am learning so I can put it into my audio memory. I have always thought that if I took every single approach to the different learning styles then I would be sure to remember what I was learning through one of them. Now that I know that I am more kinesthetic and aural I can focus more on using those studying techniques.
