Blog Post #11 2011



My Learning Profile

Everyone learns in their own way. Someone might prefer to doodle on papers when at the same time they are taking in or learning the information, others sit still and steady, taking in every word the teacher is saying. Some people need to see pictures before they're going to learn anything, others will just hear and process the information. In this blog post I'm going to specify on my Learning Profile.

My learning style is tricky. If the learning topic is not something that I am necessarily interested in I'm not as willing and happy to learn about it compared to something I would like to learn about. I catch myself day dreaming all the time on a boring topic or a big lecture. I find I learn best when I am not disturbed or distracted in my learning and writing surroundings. A lot of the time when I am put next to a person that talks to me a lot and makes lots of distracting and annoying sounds, I don't get my work done very fast or at all. Another thing that helps me is soft, gentle back round music playing while I work.


Firstly, I need to keep myself awake during the big important lectures. Second I have to stop daydreaming during the lectures. Thirdly I could ask my teachers to put on gentle music while we work, but that of course is up to them. When the teachers are giving lectures (which are not all that bad, for some people) I should tune in. If I would stop day dreaming I wouldn't have to double check about the homework. I think if I tried to follow those two or three rules I would be a much better student.



A strategies that would help me in my learning are when I start day dreaming is I should remind myself about what I should be concentrating on now what I am dreaming of. I should start concentrating from the very begging, instead of start daydreaming of the Hunger Games from the beginning of class. When my teachers are starting a lecture I should try to tune in. If I do I think I might actually find it interesting! When someone beside or close to me starts the annoying piano on the desk or start chatting their head off I should tell the to stop or simply ignore them so they would stop.

I would like my teachers  to know this about me so that maybe they could change the seating arrangement to something I would approve, a table without any annoying class mates. I would also like my seat to be near the front so I would be most visible to the teacher, and so I could concentrate more. I would also like my teachers to know I work well with music on.

This is my Learning Profile. Hope you enjoyed!
