ABOUT LEARNING STYLES AND STRATEGIES:

When teaching it is useful to be aware of students'learning styles so that the Learning Manager can provide variety in a lesson which will be engaging for those students who differ from other students in the way they prefer to learn.

The results of my own learning styles testing came back unexpected.  I appear to have some balance (scale 1-3) in the Intuitive and Global styles but some preference (scale of 5) with the Visual.  The higher preference being a Reflective learning style which explains my frustration if not enough time is allocated when learning something totally new to me.   I actually have learnt in the past to follow the advice that is being suggested for this learning style. This means that I don’t really read and memorize the material but rather find it more helpful to comprehend and retain the topic if I review and take notes in my own words as I go along.  And that seems to work for me.
