Learning Styles Auditory By Hearing Visual By Seeing Kinesthetic By Doing
Enhancing your Auditory Learning � sit towards the front of the room so you can hear well and so that you won't be distracted by the noises other students make � work in quiet areas to minimize hearing music, television or other distractions � if you prefer to study with music playing, choose something with no lyrics, and keep the volume low � "sub-vocalize“ (a quiet mumble)or read out loud as you take notes, read instructions, read questions or take tests � study with a partner and take turns reading to each other discuss key concepts � use rhymes or jingles to help remember important points � ensure you understand by creating verbal descriptions � tape yourself summarizing key points, then play the tape as a memory rehearsal strategy
Enhancing your Visual Learning � choose a location where you can see the instructor and all visual aids well � sit away from doors, windows, bulletin boards, and other potential distractions � minimize visual distractions in your study space � write down what you hear � use visuals like symbols and colour in notes to help flag new concepts and key ideas � make pictures in your mind � look for sketches, diagrams, or charts to help interpret information - re-draw them to help remember � translate text into charts, graphs, or pictures � use flash cards to help rehearse
Enhancing your Kinesthetic Learning � ask questions and participate in discussions whenever possible � determine relevance and applicability of the concept to yourself and life in general � take a small object (e. g. stress-ball) to class to play with discreetly in one hand while the other takes notes � use class breaks to stand up and stretch � use your fingers or a piece of paper to help keep track of where you are when reading � stop after each chunk of reading, think about what you learned, and write a brief summary
� take regular, brief breaks to move around � if you typically use your hands when talking to people, try using your hands when studying and explaining concepts � write processes, etc. on cards, mix them up, then practice physically arranging them into the correct sequence � do something physical before sitting down to read or study � move a body part (e. g. swing or tap your foot), or walk around if it helps you concentrate � try to make learning “hands on” (models, labs, investigations, etc. )
