How we learn is as important as what we learn. The reason being, our ability to understand and retain information is affected by how that information is delivered. There are a number of learning styles for example, visual, auditory and kinesthetic. The names for these styles vary however the meanings are relatively static.

The questionairre says I have an aural learning style. I think this is accurate because I enjoy listening to audio books and listening to debates to understand arguements. When in university I enjoyed listening to lectures and taking notes. Fortunately, this style suits the current teaching techniques used in universities and specifically in the law department at Bilgi.

The questionairre suggests that my learning style is aural. I think that this is correct because I enjoy learning from visual objects, it makes me understand more easily and apply these in my academic life. So far my instructors' teaching style fit my learning style, I did not have any complains.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the questionairre, my learning style is known as aural.I'm not sure if it's quite accurate,since I prefer books over speeches while learning, but this questionairre suggests the other way around.But also it is a fact that I need to ask detailed questions about a new topic in order to understand it fully.I enjoy having discussions about the learning material in class, so this result is partly true.My instructors' teaching style usually fits my learning style.
ReplyDeleteThis questionnaire describes my learning style as kinesthetic.I think it suits me well; I like learning through experience and I enjoy using applications and demonstrations in class.
ReplyDeleteThe questionnaire suggested usefeul techniques which may help me improve my learning skills, and most of the time my instructors' teaching style suits me.
According to the questionnaire, my learning style is multimodel, visual and kinesthetic. I think it's true. Doing or watching something is more helpful to learn. Also i like learn by graphics and use applications. However, i made this test last year too and the results were same. So i tried techniques which are being suggested by questionnaire last year and i think i'm well done now thanks this.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the test my learning style is aural. I think that, its true because generally I'm studying my lessons with my friends and we're always making discussions. After that I can easily remember it.
ReplyDeleteThe questionnaire says that I have a multimodal (visual, aural, read/write, kinesthetic) learning style. I think the result reflects the truth because I don't have any preferences in learning; I can simply learn in any way. However, I usually chose visual ways; such as reading instructions or following diagrams. My instructors' teaching styles mostly fit with my learning styles because as I said, I don't have strict preferences.
ReplyDeleteThe ways of thinking differ by person and by situation. According to the questionnaire my learning skill seems to be kinesthetic but I feel more like I am a visual person. I attribute more meanings into the things that are shown to me. However, as I said, I might learn in a very different way depending on the situation (for example, by reading or kinesthetically).
ReplyDeleteThe questionnaire says that I am a kinesthetic person however, I think I learn more by hearing or visually. I would appreciate if the lesson occurs mostly with an explenation supported by visuals. But of course I cannot deny that trying is better than listening in specific cases.

ReplyDeleteI have an aural learning style according to the result of this test. I think it's correct. Generally, i listen to music or watch films and i learn a lot of things. Besides, when i study, i prefer to someone explains to me. When i heard something, i don't forget easily, i think this way of learning is the best solution for me.
ReplyDeleteThe questionairre suggests that my learning style is multımodel, however ı think ı can learn by visual easily, because ı can copy the thing ı look in my mınd.
ReplyDeleteAccording the results of the test, I'm a multimodel learner. I agree with that because for every different subject my learning style changes. With some subjects I prefer learning visualy because it is more effective that other methods and for another subject I can learn easily by a discussion or a readng piece.
ReplyDeleteSidal Karaman 149.22 The questionairre says thatmy learning style is aural.I think it's completly true because I always study with my friends and ıf I listen carefully I never wiil forget it and to me visual is the other best style to learn because of seeing something is always remember easily
ReplyDeleteThe result of my test telling me that i have read/write learning style and i agree with the test. In general, i read the work for once and i repeat it several times. Also i think i am good at visual learning because it's easier to memorise than reading when you see the situation but it is almost impossible in our lessons.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the my test result, I learned that, I can learn with hearing and writing. I think this is true but also I can learn and remember when I am seeing it.
ReplyDeleteMy test told me that I can learn by listening.
ReplyDeleteBut i think that each way of learning is good for me.I can remember easily when I see or listen.

ReplyDeleteAccording to the questionairre, my learning style is multimodal both visual and kinesthetic. I think this result is right for me because showing some visual stuff helps me to learn and memorize easily. Some of my instructors uses these methods but some of them not. So,I enjoy the ones who uses them.
