M3- Produce a short evaluation in which you explain how
different learning styles can aid personal development. Use examples from your
own experience when using different learning styles throughout the completion
of your personal development training. You will need to carry out a small
amount of research into learning styles in order to complete this task
There are 3 types of learners, visual, kinaesthetic and
auditory. The different learning styles are represented by how best you learn.
For example learning by watching someone else.
There are 2 sub types of visual learning (linguistic and
spatial). Visual learners learn by seeing something, this could be watching a
video or watching a demonstration. These learners would be good at drawing
graphs and would much rather read than do something. These people learn through
pictures and writing.
Auditory learners learn by listening. They associate
things with music. They would much rather listen to music than read a book. They
can remember things that they have learnt if they associate them with a song or
piece of music. They would learn by watching videos or listening to someone
explaining something.
Kinaesthetic learners learn by doing, they would much rather
just do something than read about it. They learn by doing.
If they were putting together a wardrobe a visual learner
would read the instructions and look at the pictures, a auditory learner would
listen to someone explain how to do it or watch a video of someone putting one
together and a kinaesthetic learner would dive straight in and learn as they go
along.
During my training I have used auditory learning and visual
learning. I only use visual when watching videos I don’t like to read about
something. I found that spatial learning and auditory are the best ways for me
to learn.
