Learning Style

Different modalities of learning are evident in all of us. Some people might have one specific way of learning while another might have a combination of learning styles, no matter what the style may be we all have a different approach to learning that needs to be addressed.

In many of my previous educational classes I have discussed multi modalities of learning and how the different learning styles can effect they way a teacher teaches the material at hand. I have never personally taken a multi modality test but I have given them to my students to determine the best teaching method. I strongly believe in the research that supports these theories and agree that people learn in many different ways.

I think that my learning style would be a mixture of
Visual
Kinesthetic
Verbal/Aural
Social

After taking the learning style tests my scores were reported as follows:
Visual: 5
Aural: 4
Read/Write: 2
Kinesthetic: 9

After looking at my scores it seems that I am more of a kinesthetic learner that a visual learner which surprises me that my scores turned out that way.
