Tony Buzman, memory expert Challenge Case - Tammy Ko Chapter 3 begins with the Tammy Ko s challenge case on pages Read Tammy s story then review the REACTION What Do YOU Think? questions. Does Tammy s story relate to your own experience in some way? Go to the Head of the Class: Learning and the Brain (Staley, 52) Before you begin this chapter, understand one thing clearly no one learning style is better than another learning style. No Myers Briggs code is better than another. No VARK result is better than another. No Index of Learning Style is better than another. No Multiple Intelligence profile is better than another. I am an ESTJ (Extrovert, Sensing, Thinking, Judging), AURAL, LINGUISTIC, LOGICAL/MATHEMATICAL, INTERPERSONAL Learner. What does all of that mean? By the time you get to the end of Chapter 3, you too will understand what each of those mean and be able to write a similar sentence about yourself. Before you begin this chapter, I would like for you to complete a few inventories that will help to identify your learning style. First, take the Myers Briggs Self Score that was packaged with your book. It will help you to understand your personality PREFERENCES. I stress preferences. We will use the results from the Myers Briggs to identify your learning style in this chapter, and we will also use it to reflect on your career choice. Second, take the VARK. You will find the link to the VARK assessment in Web Links. The VARK online version will automatically score your assessment. After receiving your results on the VARK site connect to the resources for your learning style. Be sure to

2 save your results. There is also a paper and pencil version of the VARK on pages in your text book. Third, on pages you will find Exercise 3.2 Multiple Intelligences Self-Assessment. Take these inventories and tally your scores. How SMART are you? (Staley, 61) Staley begins by asking have you ever noticed that people are smart in different ways? She later asks, how are you smart? Gardner formulated his theory of multiple intelligence based on observing patterns in different sets of skills. Individuals may have strengths in more than one area. Individuals can be strong in one area while weak in another. How is understanding your intelligence profile important to understanding your learning style? By understanding your natural preference to learning, you will understand the best way to choose a class, choose a major and/or choose a career. Below you will find Gardner s Multiple Intelligence broken out into layman terms. I actually found these explanations on an elementary school web site. However, after reviewing the explanations I found them to be a great summary of each intelligence profile. I have also included information from Clemson University s National Drop-out Prevention Center. Verbal-Linguistic Skills sensitivity to and appreciation of word meanings and the function of the language. (Santrock/Halonen, 91) The verbal/linguistic intelligence focuses on the ability to use both oral and written language fluently.

9 How Do You Perceive and Process Information? (Staley, 65-) It is important to understand that we all learn in different ways. Create your own learning plan based from your learning style to increase your success. Think which classes in high school you seemed to learn the easiest or liked the best. It could have easily had something to do with your sensory preference to a particular instructor s teaching style. You will have instructors that lecture in a variety of ways from the instructor who never moves from behind the podium to the instructor who adds PowerPoint to the lecture to the instructor who includes tactile learning in the instruction. First understand the instructor will not change their lecture style to accommodate your sensory preference. However, understanding your sensory preference will let you know what you need to do to accommodate your learning style to the instructor s lecture. VARK (Staley, 65) Let s look at how you perceive and process information from the perspective of the VARK instrument. Each chapter in the text will end with a VARK activity. These exercises will help you strengthen how to apply your learning style. Visual Some prefer to see the information and learn best through symbolic representations that explain what could have been said in normal text format. Prefer to see information such as pictures, diagrams, cartoons, demonstrations Picture words and concepts they hear as images Easily distracted in lecture with no visual aids Overwhelmed with intense visuals accompanied by lecture Benefit from using charts, maps, notes, and flash cards when studying Aural - Some prefer to hear the information and learn best through sounds by listening. Prefer to hear information spoken Can absorb a lecture with little effort May not need careful notes to learn Often avoid eye contact in order to concentrate Read/Write - Some prefer to read/write the information and learn through words by reading and writing. Kinesthetic - Some prefer to do something with information and learn best through experience when all senses are activated. Prefer touch as their primary mode for taking in information In traditional auditory learning situations, they should write out important facts Create study sheets connected to vivid examples Role-playing can help them learn and remember important ideas Refer to Figure 3.1 Visual, Aural, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic Learning Strategies to find General Strategies, Study Strategies, and Exam Strategies. Please review more information on Visual, Verbal and Tactile learning on DVC Online: and

10 How to Study.Com Learning Styles Myers Briggs (Staley, 71) The Myers Briggs (MBTI) is the most well-known personality assessment instrument in the world. As mentioned earlier, refer to the PowerPoint for the Myers Briggs found in the Chapter 3 Learning Module. The MBTI shows your preferences in four areas: 1. What energizes you and where do you direct energy? Do you get energy from other people (Extravert - E) or do you go within yourself to find strength? (Introvert - I) 2. How do you gather information and what kind of information do you trust? Do you trust your senses and faculty-based information (Sensor S) or do you trust your gut feelings?(intuition N) 3. How do make decisions, arrive at conclusions, and make judgments? Do you think things through logically (Thinker - T) or do you care about how others react and feel? (Feeler F) 4. How do you relate to the outer world? Do you prefer organization and structure (Judging - J) or do you like spontaneity and going with the flow? (Perceiver - P) Refer to page 72 for ways you may need to adjust to the teaching style of your instructor Translate for maximum comfort Make strategic choices Take full advantage
