Focus on Learning Styles

On the website Enhance Learning I learned many different ways people can learn. Everyone student has a different learning style. Some students may develop strengths in some area but lack strengths in others. I also learned that the students culture and background also plays a role in how they like to learn and what learning environment works best for them. One of the sections in the website described the nine different learning styles. There was a online test to go along with the nine different styles to see which learning style best described you. The format of the test consisted of nine separate section with many different statements. You would mark a one next to all the statements that described how you were and the section with the most ones in it was your learning style. I thought this was very interesting and also showed how individuals could be have many different learning styles. For example I was visual learner as well as a interpersonal learner. I was categorized as learning with the help of visual aids and also learned from working with other people. I think that for teachers to find out what ways their students learn best is a huge accomplishment and will only improve their students learning.
