Activity 1: Learning styles

After completing the online questionaire I was able to see what learning styles suit me best.
My preference between an active and reflective learning style was at the moderate active level. My understanding of this is that to be able to retain information better, or to be able to understand instructions, I do things best by doing something actvite with it.
I rate moderate on the sensing scale; I dont like suprises or complications when I work, I would prefer to learn facts and I dislike courses that don't relate to real life experiences.
I rate moderate on the scale for a visual learning style rather than a verbal learning style. This meaning that I would prefer watching someone perform instructions rather than telling me. I also understand it as watching something rather than reading it.
The final part on the scale was sequential learners  or global learners. I rated low on the sequential side. This meaning I tend to gain understanding in linear steps, with each step following logically from the previous one.

After taking this test and reading the explanations, I agree with the results. I would consider myself to be a visual or kinesthetic learner. I would prefer watching someone demonstrate or myself demonstrate to someone else. For example, as a netball coach when teaching my girls a new drill I demonstrate what is required rather than telling them.
