LEARNING STYLE
There are three types of learning style, which is VISUAL , AUDITORY and KINESTHETIC.
VISUAL : Visual learners prefer the use of images,maps and graphic organizers to access and understand new information.
- How to improve:
- Use color, layout, and spatial organization in your associations, and use many 'visual words' in your assertions. Examples include see, picture, perspective, visual, and map.
- Use mind maps. Use color and pictures in place of text, wherever possible. If you don't use the computer, make sure you have at least four different color pens.
AUDITORY : Auditory learners best understand new content through listening and speaking in situations such as lectures and group discussion.Auditory learners use repetition as a study technique and benefit from the use of catchwords.
- How to improve:
- Use sound recordings to provide a background and help you get into visualizations. For example, use a recording of an aircraft engine running normally, playing loudly via a headset, to practice flight procedures. Use a recording of the sound of wind and water when visualizing sailing maneuvers. If you don't have these recordings, consider creating them while next out training.
- Use the anchoring technique to recall various states that music invokes in you. If you have some particular music or song that makes you want to 'take on the world,' play it back and anchor your emotions and state. When you need the boost, you can easily recall the state without needing the music.
KINESTHETIC: Students who are kinesthetic learners best understand information through tactile representations of information.These students are hands-on learners and learn best through figuring things out by hand.
- How to improve:
- Use physical objects as much as possible. Physically touch objects as you learn about what they do. Flashcards can help you memorize information because you can touch and move them around.
- For assertions and scripting, describe the physical feelings of your actions. For example, a pilot might script as follows: 'I feel the friction as I push the throttle forward to start my takeoff run. The controls start to feel more responsive as I check the airspeed, oil pressure and temperature. At takeoff speed, I pull back slightly, and I feel the vibrations of the wheels stop as the plane leaves the ground. After a few moments, I reach down and set the gear selector to up. I feel the satisfying bump as the gear stops fully up.'
