Study Skill (2) What is your learning style?

Many students do not know or use the best learning style(s) suitable for them and their grades suffer for that. 
Each student has a learning style whether or not they are conscious of it. 
To ascertain which learning style(s) most suitable for you, assessment of the effectiveness of your current learning methods is required.
Once you identify the learning style(s) most suitable and effective for you, it will enable you maximize your study period and improve your grades.

The main learning styles are:

Self study: refers to learners who prefer to study alone. They only reach out for assistance when they encounter problems.  

Group learners: refers to those who like learning in company of other learners and exchanging ideas. This style of learning is also known as social learning.

The other styles of learning include;
Hands on or kinesthetic learners which refers to those who learn by undertaking physical activities with their hands.

Auditory learning style refers to those who learn by listening to speeches, lectures, recorded materials.


Reading & writing learners, also known as verbal learners are those who prefer learning by reading and writing.

My preferred and most effective learning styles are self study and reading & writing. Which are yours?
