Your learning style is the way you prefer to learn. It doesn't
have anything to do with how intelligent you are or what skills
you have learned. It has to do with how your brain works most
efficiently to learn new information. Your learning style has
been with you since you were born.
There's no such thing as a "good" learning style
or a "bad" learning style. Success comes with many
different learning styles. There is no "right" approach
to learning. We all have our own particular way of learning
new information. The important thing is to be aware of the nature
of your learning style. If you are aware of how your brain best
learns, you have a better chance of studying in a way that will
pay off when it's time to take that dreaded exam.
The Visual / Verbal
Learning Style
You learn best when information is presented visually and
in a written language format. In a classroom setting, you
benefit from instructors who use the blackboard (or overhead
projector) to list the essential points of a lecture, or who
provide you with an outline to follow along with during lecture.
You benefit from information obtained from textbooks and class
notes. You tend to like to study by yourself in a quiet room.
You often see information "in your mind's eye" when
you are trying to remember something.
The Visual/ Nonverbal Learning Style
You learn best when information is presented visually and
in a picture or design format. In a classroom setting, you
benefit from instructors who use visual aids such as film,
video, maps and charts. You benefit from information obtained
from the pictures and diagrams in textbooks. You tend to like
to work in a quiet room and may not like to work in study
groups. When trying to remember something, you can often visualize
a picture of it in your mind. You may have an artistic
side that enjoys activities having to do with visual art and
design.
The Tactile / Kinesthetic
Learning Style
You learn best when physically engaged in a "hands on"
activity. In the classroom, you benefit from a lab setting
where you can manipulate
materials to learn new information. You learn best when you
can be physically active in the learning environment. You
benefit from instructors who encourage in-class demonstrations,
"hands on" student learning experiences, and field
work outside t he classroom.
 The
Auditory / Verbal Learning
Style
You learn best when information is presented auditory in
an oral language format. In a classroom setting, you benefit
from listening to lecture and participating in group discussions.
You also benefit from obtaining information from audio tape.
When trying to remember something, you can often "hear"
the way someone told you the information, or the way you previously
repeated it out loud. You learn best when interacting with
others in a listening/speaking exchange.
After you have completed the survey, your scores will be
calculated automatically and reported on a web page. （http://www.metamath.com/multiple/multiple_choice_questions.cgi）Your
preferred learning style will be identified together with
suggested learning strategies. There is also a page describing
all four Learning
Styles and Strategies.
