Learning styles

Visual learning is learning by visual input such as:

·       Books

·       Pictures

·       Documents

·       Games

·       Films

This is the most frequent method of learning however it has been proven that we don’t have much recall of them.

Auditory learning - Learning from songs music or audio diaries this is a very good way because subconsciously remains in your mind.

 Kinaesthetic learning- learning from performing an action such as:

·       Playing a game

·       Working on a computer

·       Writing

This is the best method as muscle memory takes over and you will also remember things subconsciously as well.

These styles of learning are used in everyday life especially in schools and in the work place

When developing my own skills I mainly used kinaesthetic and visual learning I found these were the best for my learning environment in school.
