Every individual is different from each other and so are their learning styles. People use different techniques to understand and retain the information. For instance, one person can remember things better by looking at the images while another one finds listening to recorded audios a better choice to learn new things.
Having knowledge of your learning style can help you pick the right technique to perform better in board and competitive exams. Not just the students, teachers and parents also get benefited from this as it helps them pick the right study medium for the kids to help them gain maximum knowledge. To decide which learning style suits your personality, you first need to be aware of different options.
There are seven commonly accepted learning styles.
Visual Learner
Can you remember the images, artwork and pictures by just having a look at them? If yes, you are a visual learner who prefers to look at the images, graphs, charts, and videos to grasp concepts. Attending live online classes, using flashcards or watching recorded video lectures is the right choice for you to learn new concepts and retain them.
Verbal Learner
If you like reading, writing, listening and speaking to grasp the concepts and to remember the details, you are a verbal learner. Taking notes, practicing through tests, rereading the books and creating lists are some of the techniques used by verbal learners to remember things.
Auditory Learner
Do you always remember music and lyrics of different songs? Is the speaker’s tone of voice your focus area when listening to someone? If yes, you are an auditory learner who can’t study in silence. Podcasts, recorded lectures, and rhythm make your learning experience better.
Intrapersonal Learner
If you like to study when alone, you are an intrapersonal learner. These learners are self-motivated and prefer to learn through self-study. Recorded video lectures with basic guidance are also enough for these learners to achieve their goals.
Social Learner
If you like to socialize with people and enjoy learning in groups through interaction, you are a social learner. You know how to convert your friends into study groups and make your conversations more productive. Cooperative learning settings, role-playing, and volunteer groups are some of the ways you can opt for to enhance your retention.
Logical learner
If mathematical and logical reasoning makes it easier for you to understand the ideas, you are a logical learner. These learners have can easily understand the bigger picture by analyzing cause and effect relationship. Performing relatively complex calculations is a child’s play for logical learners.
Kinesthetic (Tactile) Learner
If you find interaction with the objects essential to learn about them, you are a kinesthetic learner. For a tactile learner, speaker’s body language makes more difference than what they speak. Making graphs and role play are some of the techniques used by kinesthetic learners to grab things faster.
To understand concepts, students usually adopt a combination of different learning styles. As there are no right or wrong ways to learn things, you should opt for a balanced combination of different styles and learning materials like videos, books, graphs, images etc.
