Grasping Learning Concepts in Different Ways

Grasping Learning Concepts in Different Ways When students reach college, or higher education schools, the professor’s desire to accommodate students starts to decline, especially with caring about the way that their students learn differently. The inability of higher education to accommodate students with different learning styles is an unavoidable issue. Every student learns differently, but you can group the learning styles into four main categories: visual learning (learn by seeing), auditory learning (learn by hearing), kinesthetic learning (learn by moving), and tactile learning (learn by touching). Learning styles are influenced by a student’s genetic make-up, their previous learning experiences, their culture, and the society that they live in. I believe that if schools were to take a little bit of time to find out who their students are and how they can accommodate their learning styles more effectively, then there would not only be a higher success rate in the education system, but students would be a lot happier with their work. The best time to start finding out what kind of learner someone is at a young age, preferably right when starting school. When younger, teachers seem to focus more on someone individually than they do when someone is in college. If someone is able to recognize and understand their learning style, they can figure out techniques at a young age that are better suited towards themselves. This will improve the speed and quality of learning. Although teachers in lower education might care about how someone learns and tries to adjust their lessons, once reaching into higher education it seems as if that all just goes out the window. At least if someone is aware of what kind of a learner they are, they can apply that towards studying outside of school.
There are physical, psychological, and finical costs to students who are not learning effectively. When students have trouble learning, and they feel like they just aren’t
