Type of Learning Styles We Know (Learning Style)


Various studies have been conducted to prove that in fact we have a way of learning and thinking different. We will find it more effective and better by using more listening, but others feel better by reading and some even felt that the result will be optimal if we learn immediately practice what you learn. How do we learn will greatly affect the structure of our brains. It is then we know as the Learning Style (Learning Styles).
Modalities
In addressing a variety of learning styles, certainly must be coupled with the logic and culture the way we work, and most importantly of all the above is a way our brains work which in this case we call the modalities of learning. Briefly learning modality is, a way of how the brain absorbs information that goes through the five senses optimally. According to Howard Gardner's learning modalities can be characterized into learning styles Auditory, Visual, and Kinesthetic Reading

Auditory
People who have Auditory learning style, learning to rely on hearing to be able to understand and remember. Characteristics of this learning model really puts hearing as the main tool to absorb the information or knowledge. That is, to remember and understand specific information, the concerned should be heard first. Those who have a learning style is generally difficult to directly absorb the information in written form, in addition to having trouble writing or reading.
Some of the features of an Auditory among others: Able to remember well the materials discussed in the group Getting to know a lot of songs / TV commercials, Likes to talk. Generally not a good reader. Less can well remember what he had just read. Less well in tasks compose / write. Less attention to new things in the surrounding environment.

Visual
People who have a visual learning style, learning by emphasizing the sharpness of vision. That is, concrete evidence must be disclosed in advance so that they understand. The characteristics of people who have a visual learning style is a high demand to see and perceive information visually before they understand it.Concretely, the question easier to capture lessons through pictorial material. In addition, they have a strong sense of color, as well as having sufficient understanding of artistic problems. It's just that usually they have a direct obstacle to dialogue because it is too reactive to sound, making it difficult to follow the advice verbally and often misinterpreted the words or speech.
Some visual characteristics are: Always pay attention to their lips to see someone who speaks to him Tend to use gestures when expressing something Not like speaking in front of the group, and less likely to listen to others. Usually can not remember the information given orally More like a demonstration rather than verbal explanations Visual Usually people who can sit quietly in the midst of noisy / crowded without being disturbed

Reading
People who have learning styles Reading, learning by focusing on the writings or records. This characteristic is really putting the reading or writing as the main tool to absorb the information or knowledge. That is, to remember and understand specific information, the concerned should first read or write. Those who have this learning style like things that smell of theoretical and generally hard to directly absorb the information in the form of demonstration or practical.
People who have a learning style is usually characterized Reading:
Likes reading and making notes Letters are beautiful and neat writing is very memorable for them Easy to remember what they read or write

Kinesthetic
People who have a learning style, Kinesthetic require the individual to touch something that gives certain information so that he can remember. Of course there are some characteristics of this learning model that not everyone can do it. The first character is placing his hand as the primary means of receiving information in order to remember it. Only by holding it alone, someone who has this learning style to absorb the information without having to read the explanation.
The next character is exemplified as a person who can not stand sitting down for long listening to the delivery of information. No wonder that individuals with this learning style learn to feel better if the process is accompanied by physical activity. The surplus, they have the ability to coordinate a team besides the ability to control the motion of the body (athletic ability). Not infrequently, people who tend to have these characters more easily absorb and understand information by tracing a picture or word and then learn to speak or understand the facts.
Those who have the characteristics above are encouraged to learn through experience by using different models of visual aids, such as working in the lab or study that allow it to play. Simple way that also can be implemented is regularly allocate time for a moment to rest in the middle of its characteristics is the time belajarnya.Beberapa
People who have Kinesthetic learning style usually has the characteristics: Like to touch everything he encountered It's hard to remain silent Likes to do everything by hand Usually have a good body coordination Likes to use real objects as a learning tool Learn abstract things is very difficult

Spectrum
In terms of looking at something and how it performs arrangements of information, there are people who tend to view things in the abstract, and some are concrete.While aspects of information management, human process them sequentially (regular / sequential) and random (random).
A Professor in the field of curriculum and instruction at the University of Connecticut, Anthony Gregorc, combining both the above factors into 4 styles of thinking person's character. Each person has one dominant style of thinking among the four types that exist. The four types of thinking styles are: Concrete Sequential (CS), Abstract Random (AR), Abstract Sequential (AS), Concrete Random (CR).

Thank Style
Everyone is a unique individuals, each of which will see the world "how" her own.Although we saw an incident at the same time, does not guarantee we'll just report what we see. This is because every person has a way of thinking and understand something different. A researcher in psychology, Herman Witkin, through his research studies suggest two kinds of characteristics of one's own learning style, ie learning styles and learning styles of Global Analytical.
It is in fact not as easy as in classifying a person's learning style as kind-maca on learning styles, and in fact no one is 100% pure. Everyone must have a combination of these learning styles. However, a person usually has a tendency to be more dominant in one group.
Analytic
Analytical minded way of looking at things tend to be more detailed, specific, organized, and orderly. However, less able to understand the problem thoroughly. In working on tasks assigned, an Analytical will do its job on a regular basis, from one phase to the next. They have a tendency to do one task at a time, and will not work on another task before the first task is completed.
Analytical people need sufficient time to complete the task, because they do not want any one part was missing. People who have a way of thinking Analytical often think of something based on logic. In addition, they assess the facts that occurred more than feelings. They can find the facts, but often are not informed about the main idea, so sometimes they do not understand the meaning and purpose in doing something.They are very difficult to learn if there is interference, because usually his mind only focused on one issue only. To overcome this situation, should someone who has a way of thinking Analytical study alone, recently joined with friends to socialize after they finish studying.
A person who can work a maximum of Analytical dominant when there is a consistent and definite method of doing something, especially if they can create their own learning system. For the daily schedule helps an Analytical feel the structure and things that are predictable, so that they can determine and meet the goals are clear.

Global
People who think globally tend to see everything as a whole, with the big picture, however, they can see the relationship between one part with another part. Global People who can see things that are implied, and explaining the problems with his own words. They can see a lot of choices about work and can work on multiple tasks at once.
People who think Global may cooperate with others, be sensitive to others' feelings and flexible. They are happy to work hard to please others. Love to give and receive compliments, and even they tend to need more encouragement in starting work on something. They can take criticism personally. They will have difficulty having to explain things step by step. People who have a way of thinking globally dominant usually lacks neatness, even though they have a great desire to tidy it up, but often less accomplished his desire. To overcome this they should learn to simplify the system.
Global people's minds that the dominant could never focus on one issue, his mind can go many directions all the time. If the Global doing a task and there are new tasks that arise, then they will begin working on the second task, although his first job is not finished. To overcome this situation should they cooperate with others, with the promise of mutual help in completing the task before doing anything else. They will be easy to concentrate when there is someone who works with him. Procrastination is a real temptation for the Global, they need encouragement to begin their task.
