However, I greatly enjoy watching the History Channel; in fact, I have been very surprised that I sometimes find myself watching episodes on topics that I found boring in school.
This project has helped me understand how important it is for me to have some kind of visual component to my learning environment. Luckily, the MAED program and its online learning environment necessarily involves a highly visual-oriented medium. In general, I realize that wherever I have the opportunity or the option of selecting from among different course or lesson formats, those that provide some kind of visual component are most conducive to learning for me. My second choice, in general, would be to learn in an environment that allowed me to listen and to absorb information that way rather than an environment that heavily emphasizes reading texts.
Visual-Auditory Learners as Typical or Atypical
On one hand, it may be somewhat atypical to learn better from listening and watching than from reading. On the other hand, it may not necessarily be all that...
Instead, it may seem unusual only because traditional educational environments have always emphasized textbook-based learning primarily and passive lectures secondarily. It may very well be that many people learn better from watching than from reading but there are simply fewer opportunities to exploit our strongest learning styles because they are not as accommodated by traditional educational methodologies.

Learning Style Inventory My results: learning style inventory When I learned that my predominant learning styles were those of a visual learner and a social learner, I was not surprised. The theory of multiple learning styles of Howard Gardner resonates what I have known intuitively for a long time: different people are innately talented at different things. "Unlike the established understanding of intelligence -- people are born with a uniform cognitive capacity
I have difficulty following directions to a place unless they are on a map or written down. Educational habits and strategies To make the best use of my learning style, there are certain strategies that I can follow. Firstly, color coding my textbook with different color pens will make it easy for me to remember information. Also, going through my textbook and lecture notes that contain key points of the topic
Using a variety of teaching methods can help integrating the learning of language from one subject to another. One study of bilingual students in Papua New Guinea found that that up to 39% of mathematical errors were language related and another study of bilingual Filipino-English students found that they were better at solving word problems presented in their native language, despite having fluency in both languages in other subjects
Learning Styles and Academic Achievement: Are Parent's Expectations Too High? High school education perhaps is the turning point of adolescence academic life. Within few years, students usually work hard and get involved in emotional conflicts and endeavors to prepare themselves for higher study. High school students and their parents often understand that students have limited time to find out what they want to do later in their life, how they figure
Learning Styles and Neuroanatomy of the Left & Right Hemispheres of the Brain This is a paper concerning learning styles and the right/left hemispheres. How do these affect the higher order visual processing? NEUROANATOMY OF THE BRAIN AND LEARNING STYLES The human brain is mind puzzling when you think of all the intimate parts and how they affect learning. The study of Neuroanatomy of the brain and learning styles helps individuals to try
Choosing the most effective style that relates to one's individual personality is very useful in terms of increasing one's learning strengths. I have personally found that in reality most people combine a number of learning styles in developing their unique approach to learning. From my perspective I have found that a combination of both imaginative and analytical learning styles best suits my needs. The emphasis in my approach is however
