My Sequence score is 33, my Precise score is 35, my Technical score is 17, and my Confluent score is 25. Sequence, Precise, and Confluent are all “use first,” whereas Technical learning is “avoid.” A strong-willed learner, I avoid technical methods of learning, such as picking things apart to analyze them, and do not necessarily enjoy solving technical problems. For example, someone tried to show me how a gadget worked and I tuned them out. “I don’t care how it works, I just want to use it,” is what I said.
However, I do appreciate the importance of sequential learning, scheduling, and methodology. When I am given a set of instructions that I understand, I am willing to follow them as long as I understand the purpose of the methods. I can also be systematic in my approach, which is also why I scored high on the Sequence learning.
The only other area of learning in which I scored higher was on Precision. I can be extremely exacting and tend towards perfectionism in my work. Even if the details do not matter a lot, I still rely on precision to make me feel good about the quality of my work. Precision means a lot to me in things like grammar, but also when following directions, which is why this links with sequence learning.
Finally, I scored 25 in confluence, which is on the border of use as needed and use first. I do think outside the box and have a high degree of creativity. Sometimes I like to share my ideas with others,...
I use confluence learning in many of my classes that involve writing or creative activities.
Using awareness of my learning patterns in my personal life can help me clarify and understand my communications styles and why I struggle with some people but not with others. Similarly, I can apply what I know about my learning patterns to my school and career, to be more intentional in my approach to class work and more conscientious at my job.
Assignment 2
Based on the results of my Personal Learning Profile, I am a strong-willed learner. Although I can have fun and productive collaborative learning sessions, ultimately I prefer to be self-motivated and to solve problems in my own way. I take directions well because of my predilection for sequence and precision, but once I know the basic rules and goals of an assignment or exercise, I prefer to work at it by myself.
B. How I Use First, Use as Needed, or Avoid Sequence ?
I use sequence first because I need some type of structure to my learning activities. I like having some rules to follow, as long as the rules make sense and I can see why those rules matter. Although I am goal-driven, the sequence is also important because it helps me achieve the goal in a correct way. Sometimes I feel that I am too dependent on sequential…
Personal Learning Styles Learning Style After completing the VARK questionnaire, I have learned that out of the four types of learners, I have strong tendencies for three out of the four types. I am mostly a visual and read/write learner with equal scores in both areas. Furthermore, with a score very close to the first two categories, I am also a kinesthetic learner. Lastly, with the lowest score, I am an aural
The same applies if I am watching an instructional video. For example, I could think of examples as I watch the video, with this making the process tactile. In my own time, I could convert my examples into a speech on the subject. Again, this would mean that I am utilizing all three of my styles and learning as effectively as possible. There is also an opportunity to improve
Adult Learning Personal Learning Style: Strengths, Weaknesses, Improvement Every student has a personal learning style. Although this is true for students of all ages, this notion is particularly pronounced in adult learners. Perhaps this is the case simply because adult learners have had ample time to become "set in their ways" with regard to what they feel comfortable with in the classroom. However, mere comfort can be deceiving, and many of the "ways"
Learning Styles Malcolm Knowles andragogy is a learning style that fits certain personalities like a 'T', and one that calls into play an individual who enjoys collaborating and cooperating with other individuals who are also interested in learning as much as possible from a wide and diverse participation pool. Knowles set about creating learning environments that called for mutual planning, diagnosis of needs, interests and desires of individual learners, and then
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
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
