m3 learning styles

Learning styles
Here are the three main learning styles visual, kinaesthetic and auditory I will explain how they are used.

 Visual styles
 This is a learning style which ideas, concepts, data and other information are associated with images and techniques. It is one of the three basic types of learning styles used worldwide. Visual learners are those who learn things best through seeing them. Visual learning students like to keep an eye on the teacher by sitting in the front of the class and watching the lecture closely. Often, visual learners will find that information "clicks" when it is explained with the aid of a chart or picture. Visual styles is the main one i tend to use because observing how to do it my self and then having a go at doing it then repeating this progress gets me to reach my targets of objectives i have set myself to learn. Personally seeing something in front of me simplifies the task in hand and i can complete work easier if i use this method and it has been a very big help in my training i have recently done in my IT lessons.

 Kinaesthetic styles
 Learning styles such as this in which learning takes place by the student carrying out a physical activity, rather than listening to a lecture or watching a demonstration. People with a kinaesthetic learning style are also commonly known as "do-ers". Tactile-kinaesthetic learners make up about five per cent of the population. Tactile learners like to experience the world and act out events. To remember a phone number, tactile learners may remember the pattern of their fingers as the press the numbers. Tactile learners can remember complicated directions once they've acted them out. kinaesthetic learning is good for somethings for me like graphics photoshop i would play about with the tools and find out what each one does and sort of teach myself how to work the certain programme i am using.

 Auditory styles
 Auditory learning is a learning style in which a person learns through listening. An auditory learner depends on hearing and speaking as a main way of learning.[1] Auditory learners must be able to hear what is being said in order to understand and may have difficulty with instructions that are written. They also use their listening and repeating skills to sort through the information that is sent to them. Auditory learners are those who learn best through hearing things. They may struggle to understand a chapter they've read, but then experience a full understanding as they listen to the class lecture. Auditory learners may have a knack for ascertaining the true meaning of someone's words by listening to audible signals like changes in tone. When memorizing a phone number, an auditory learner will say it out loud and then remember how it sounded to recall it. When the teacher i have is an effective communicator then auditory is helpful and i take in what the teacher i have at the present time is saying and i am engaged through the lesson and i can learn from this but not as regular as other ways.

  1. A good start. Now describe how you have used the styles and which ones you prefer to use. Break this down into paragraphs to make it easier to read.
