“Four
decades of psychological research have shown us that each person has a
different way of learning, known as his or her personal learning style. This
may come as a surprise because many of us have been taught that there is only
one right way to learn and think. However, research on the brain and learning
has proven that. While many educators believe that teachers
teach the way they were taught, some refute that claim, offering instead that
teachers teach the way they learn (Dunn & Dunn, 1979; Gregory, 1979).”
Students learn in many ways, like seeing, hearing, and experiencing thing
first. Each of us has a unique character and individual skill that can help him
or her understands the new information and experiences. We us all of our sense
to learn, but most of us are strongest in one area. Generally, that there are
three main learning styles: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.
Visual learning is a style that can learn best
when subjects are presented in a visual format such as pictures, diagrams,
videos, graphic, or written language. He or she gets benefit from recopying or
making their own notes. To understand the topic, sometimes he or she needs to
read the information and translates it in own notes to make mind mapping,
graphic, or a symbol. She or he can concentrate better when her or his eyes are
clear line. If he or she thinking something, usually her or his eyes look at on
the top. Visual learners also have a major soft skill that can persuade people
because of his or her sentences. But, her or his concentrates can disturb by
crowding people.
So, sometimes he or she studies in the silent room.
Auditory
learning is a style that absorbs information best through the sense of hearing.
He or she can learn best by listening or discussing with your friends or the
lecturer. In class, auditory learners usually listen the lecturer carefully and
do not make any notes. He or she enjoy with the discussions or debates because
he or she is being talkative in class. Auditory learners trying to memorize
something with say it loudly. If he or she thinking something, usually her or
his eyes look at on straight ahead her or his eyes. He or she cannot
concentration to study if there is a sound or noises.
The last style of learning is kinesthetic or psychology
known as tactile. He or she can learn best when they touch or practice. Kinesthetic learners have a hard time sitting still for long periods of
time and can be easily distracted by activity and commotion. Because of that, sometimes people said that kinesthetic learner is a
troublemaker. Moreover, kinesthetic learner is the best for mechanical because
tag line for this learning style is trial and error. He or she like to try,
build a model, or touch the material when learning something new. If he or she
thinking something, usually
her or his eyes look at down.
Then,
there are three main learning styles that can improve with your skill and ability.
It is important to know your own learning style to success for study. Someone
who finds his or her learning styles sometimes has a good result and gets
something that she or he wants. Sometimes, we cannot do something maximally
because we do not know what our learning style. You may go to consultant or
psychology to gets your major learning style. But, actually we can find our
major learning styles based on characteristics that sound familiar with our
characteristics. So, do not give up finding
your learning styles!
