Session 3

This session was on 'knowing our learning styles'. we discussed the importance of learning and why understanding our learning styles will help us. We evaluate our learning styles by filling out a questionnaire(http://www.vark-learn.com/english/page.asp?p=questionnaire), in the questionairre we were asked several question and in the end you get a result stating your best learning style which mine was read/write.
Knowing our learning styles will help us succeed not only in our academic but also our work careers. Each of us perceives the world in a different way from the other. These perceptions of ours affects the way we think,how we make our decisions, how we prioritize things and our individual perceptions, it also helps to define our natural learning styles and strengths. Each and every individual will have his or her style of learning, so it is very important for teachers to use a variety of methods to reach out to students. It is also very important for teachers to first understand what the students learning styles are in the first place as this will make the understanding more easily. I am aware that I learn best by reading and writing, which I have also discovered how strong it is in this session and I intend to develop other learning skills as this will help me understand teachers more.
