Learning Style



By looking at this graph, I have a high score in the social category, in which indicates I work better in groups or with other people. I prefer to work in groups, as I have find that having more input by other people will have a better outcome. There is some disadvantages working in a group, for example personality clashes, producing more work than others and time constrictions. However, you learn to deal with those types of constraints.
The next two highest score are in the category of Logical and Aural. Using logic, reasoning and systems in the mathematical sense ables me to view, access and analyze the information. I like to know how things work and what it used for and the benefits.
In the Aural section using sound and music to retrieve information and then to be able withhold this information and use at a later date, will ensure success.
Using rhymes with music in the classroom for some subjects, will contribute to student engagement and this will have better outcome in the long term.

Using this tool in the classroom will help students to know what their preferred learning style is and also the Learning Manager can use this information to prepare their lessons. Even though students will have different learning styles, catering to their styles will be beneficial in the long term.
