GETTING READY TO LEARN

LEARNING STYLES IVENTORY;

SCORING YOUR IVENTORY;

Characteristics of Visual, Auditory and Kinesthetic Modes

Visual learners need to see information. If your preferred style is visual, you have strong visualization skills and can remember objects, shapes, and pictures. You learn by reading and by watching films, videos and demonstrations. You can see pictures in your mind.

Auditory learners need to hear information. If your preferred style is auditory, you have a “good ear” and can hear differences in tones and rhythm. Reading out loud will be beneficial. You can remember what you hear in a lecture.

Kinesthetic learners need to be physically active and doing things. If your preferred style is Kinesthetic,you are a hands-on learners. You have good coordination and learn by doing. You generally have an active What is approach to learning.

As you can see , my highest score is visual style. So I’m a visual style and my way of learning is also more visual style.

VISUAL STYLE

Create mind maps, flow charts and diagrams using bright colours. Put them where you can view them frequently.

Practice building your visual memory.

Rewrite your notes using different colours.

KINESTHETIC LEARNERS

Use your hand. Cut up charts and diagrams. Create flash cards and move them around with large, sweeping movements.

Walk and talk the information. Recite as you move.

Type on a computer keyboard. You are using your muscle memory.

AUDITORY LEARNERS

After you read a page in your textbook, summarise the information out loud in your own words.

Tape your instructor’s lecture,and if you are a commuter,listen to the tape on the way home, either in your car, or on the bus or subway.

Discuss the material that you have been learning with a friend or study group.

P/s : Last but not least my additional styles that I usually use when I study is:

- Need a clean and comfortable environment.

- Peace and calm conditions.

- Make small notes and mind maps for all important notes especially for the subjects that are quite hard for me to understand.

- Form a group to discuss the information or subject.

- Planning own strategies.

10 STEP COLLEGE SUCCESS;

1)Attend all classes

One of the best ways to successful in the college is to attend classes. This is important because most of the test question will come from lecturer.

2)Become an active learner

We cannot just read the book or notes couple of time but we must write and recite the information to get it into long-term memory.

3)Participate in class

Be an active person in class such as give the feedback about the subject that being taught and ask the question to the lecturer.

4)Get to know your lecturer

As students, we should know who our lecturers especially their names.

5)Form study group with friends

This is one of the good strategies to success in college. Students can remember the points easier and can make the discussion with friends easily.

6)Be receptive to change

Do some change in our study strategies. It’s could be better to do some change if not we can’t never see how our performance being.

It’s important to us to always set in our mind to the our best and work hard to something that we want to archive.

9)Exercise and maintain health

According to scientist survey, exercise such as running and so on can benefit the brain. This can be one of the ways to relax the mind after all day long learning.

10)Prayer

We as Muslim’s must always maintain the relationship with Allah S. W. T. that is by keeping the prayers and performing charity and praying that the acquired knowledge be blessed and can be a successful student.
