There are many different contexts in which someone can Learn but everyone finds it easier to learn in many ways. Some people find it easier to learn whilst doing an activity and being physical. This type of learner is something called being a kinaesthetic learner. Others may find it easier to learn by taking notes and making lists. This is also a structure of learning by reading and writing which be very common in many people as it is easier for someone to look back on notes they have taken to refresh their memory and help it sink in their memory. Some people may read things repeatedly so they remember better. Some people may see themselves as visual learner so they may find it easier to look at pictures or diagrams to learn and memorise detail this way. Being an auditory learner means someone learns things better listening and hearing the information from the mouth this can be learnt on the radio or from talking to someone and them giving them information or even by listening to a recording repeatedly.

In this week’s session we looked what kind of learner am I? I think I learn best by taking notes so I can read back over my notes if I am stuck or need to refresh my memory. I also feel I learn better by doing things and being physical as I think it makes me use my head a lot more as I have to keep focus and concentrate harder. I feel like my weak points in learning is that I lack in speaking out loud in front of people which I would like to improve on as it would help my confidence in the near future. I also think it would benefit me to is if I feel like I don’t understand a topic in my lesson it would be good for me to grow more confidence to ask for help or advice. I feel like I am quite good at learning things quickly and being able to help others if they don’t understand something. I also think I am quite good at taking notes and get most of the information given to me so that I can look back on them.

I think in the future to help me in my journey in my Education Degree it would be good to be able to gain support from the peers within my class so that if there are any points I don’t understand or they don’t we can each share opinions and learn different things from each other. It would also be a benefit for me to do a lot of research and studying to help me keep on track with my sessions every week. My organisation skills could also improve so always turning up to my sessions prepared such as looking on moodle every week so I know what to expect in my sessions where I can do some research beforehand. I also think it would be good to speak to my lecturer or someone I feel comfortable talking on a weekly  basis so I know where I am at, and what I can improve on this will also help me in the future when it comes to my exams and help me strengthen my weaknesses.
