I encountered the theories behind learning styles while taking Adult Ed courses. I even have a few surveys that you can use to identify your own learning style. I have to say, Carolyn came up with an original set of questions. The results I got were no surprise:
You are a Tactile Learner. You want to get your
hands into any project. You like math
manipulatives, art supplies (paint, clay,
etc.), and other touchy-feely learning aids.
You learn best by building models or dioramas
yourself. If you can touch something and
hold it, you’re more likely to remember it.

No surprises here, either. Visual Learner. Although I suspect Auditory Learner was very high as well. I can remember anything if it’s put to music. On other quizes I’ve taken visual/auditory are neck in neck. Which is why I struggle with finding ways to teach my tactile learner!
You are a Visual Learner. You like to see things
for yourself, read the directions, and study
the diagrams. You learn well through
reading, and seeing pictures, models, and
visual demonstrations. You notice minute
details and are fascinated by the intricacies
of the world around you.

Carrie – you might also see why Andrea and I sometimes ‘duke it out’
’cause our approach is so different.
