After taking the short learning test, I realized I am a kinesthetic learner, which means I learn by doing something over and over. As I think back on the last thing I truly learned how to do, which was drive a manual (stick shift) car, It took me forever to get the practice down. I had to just keep practicing and practicing until I got it right. I'm also a visual learner, which means I need to see many examples before I truly understand something. Being in college again has helped me realize my learning processes so my study habits are better and I know what will help me learn the fastest and be able to retain what I have learned.

ReplyDeleteI remember driving a standard for the first time. I drove home in reverse so I wouldn't have to change gears!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes have to do things over and over again to learn something, but once I get it, I don't forget. When working with students I think it is so important to realize everyone learns in a differt way at a different speed.
