Learning Styles

To all my students,

Knowing your learning style can help me plan your lessons to help you achieve greater results.

Please take the learning style questionnaire or survey

Do the test before the next GP lesson.

Note down your learning style
so that I can collate the results during the lesson. Thank you.

If you are interested to know more, this NUS CDTL article looks at the different instruments of learning styles. Want to know which part of the brain do you utilise more? Take this brain test.

As a learner, an understanding of your learning style can help in the classroom and at home.

In the classroom:
If you have difficulty following a teacher's presentation of new material, ask if it can be presented in a way that appeals to your style. For example, if you are a visual learner, you may find it difficult to absorb content if the teacher just speaks. Approach your teacher and ask him/her to write key points on the board while they are talking.

At home:
When working independently to study for tests or complete assignments, you will find that you use your time more effectively if you use the strategies recommended for your style. For example, if you are an auditory learner, try recording summaries of notes you have taken from readings. To study, just sit back and listen...

So take the learning style test now! questionnaire or survey
