My Time To Learn
Everyone has a preferred method of learning. There are three different types of learning styles that most of us fall under. The three styles of learning are: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic (Bixler, 2010). New students and returning students can greatly benefit from knowing their preferred learning styles by taking a short assessments online.
I have taken a break for many years on attending college level classes due to many reasons. Many times I did not sign up for classes due to personal and professional obligations, however, other times it was for my pure laziness. As the years have gone by, I have come to realize that I need to motivate myself and finish something that I set out to do about 17 years ago. During this day and age jobs have become highly competitive and usually require more than experience alone. I feel like I have remotivated myself and feel extremely eager to learn and continue my path of learning as I will soon transition from the military life to civilian life. I have always had an interest in technology and found it natural that I would try to pursue a degree within that area.
I have taken two online learning style assessments to determine my personal learning style. According to the Learning Style Inventory (Bixler, 2010) and The Center for New Discoveries in Learning (The Center for New Discoveries in Learning, 2012) my preferred learning style is auditory. This is the first time that I can recall ever taking an assessment on my learning style as I normally would answer with my preferred method as either visual and/or kinesthetic. When I learned that based off my answers on both of these two assessments, I felt like I have to mostly disagree to the results. I normally do prefer to learn by visual presentations as well as kinesthetic. The reason I feel that I can learn from both visual and kinesthetic is very dependent on the topic or the level of interest I have in the subject matter. I have been in
