Study Notes

Learning Styles

Learning styles are the processes and techniques people use to learn things (facts, skills, attitudes).
A learning style encompasses cognitive, affective, and physiological factors that indicate how a learner perceives and interacts with learning.
Knowing your learning style helps you learn better through seeking learning situations and experiences that meet your style.
Knowing the learning styles of others helps you understand how others learn, making collaboration more effective.

Four Learning Styles

Visual: Prefer seeing information (pictures, diagrams, cartoons). Visual learners benefit from visual aids in lectures and benefit from using charts, maps, notes, and flash cards. They may easily get distracted with too many visual aids in lectures.
Auditory: Prefer hearing information. Auditory learners may not need careful notes to learn better. They often avoid eye contact during lectures. They may read aloud to themselves or enjoy background music while studying.
Read/Write: Prefer receiving information in written form. They tend to take detailed notes, and prefer written instructions and explanations over diagrams or oral presentations.
Kinesthetic: Prefer hands-on learning. Kinesthetic learners learn through physical activities, building, touching, and movement. They may benefit from using manipulatives, and actively participate in hands-on activities like completing art projects, taking walks, or acting out stories.
