Learning type


After taking the Memletic Learning Style test, I discovered that I am mostly a social learner and physical learner. This does not come as a surprise to me as I have always love working with others compared to working independently. Doing this test allowed me to focus on myself as a learner and reflect on how I best learn. It will be helpful for the duration of my university learning as I now know what way I will achieve maximum results from my work.

Even when I was a child and wanted to play I would always want to play with someone, e.g. my sister, and when she did not want to play with me I didn't know what to do with myself. Even now, I would rather have company that reflect on my own thoughts alone. I was not surprised to discover that my logical learning score was so low as I hate doing puzzles and figuring out how to solve a problem.


When I am a learning manager I believe that I will get my students to complete a similar test to determine each students learning style. As there is a number of student is a class (lets say 23) there would be a large range of different learning styles in different combinations. This explains the colourful differences between students and how some students clash. As a class project students could work together in finding out their learning style compared to their friend and discover how they are different and how they are similar.


I hope you find this interesting, I look forward to hearing from you all.
