What's Your Learning Style?
March 9th 2009 10:42
My worse subject in college was Statistics; I don't know why, there's something about numbers and graphs that completely confuses me. Add to that the fact that my professor's voice could only be heard by those sitting in the first two rows. Also, she had this annoying habit of blocking whatever she is writing on the board with her body. Needless to say I flunked Statistics and had to retake it during the summer.
Fortunately, I had a different professor during the summer; someone whose teaching style made my worse subject surprisingly enjoyable for me. By the end of the class, I had earned a B.
Through the years, many tests have been created to determine a person's learning style. I think this would especially be meritous if these tests were given to students while they are young. Imagine how advantageous it would be if we could match a student's learning style to an educator's teaching style.
Speaking of tests, here is one that you (or your child) can take online to determine how you learn best. According to this test, I'm a tactile learner (40%). Try it!
