Here is a breakdown of the two styles:
Visual Learners |
- take numerous detailed notes
- tend to sit in the front
- are usually neat and clean
- often close their eyes to visualize or remember something
- find something to watch if they are bored
- like to see what they are learning
- benefit from illustrations and presentations that use color
- are attracted to written or spoken language rich in imagery
- prefer stimuli to be isolated from auditory and kinesthetic distraction
- find passive surroundings ideal
Kinesthetic Learners |
- need to be active and take frequent breaks
- speak with their hands and with gestures
- remember what was done, but have difficulty recalling what was said or seen
- find reasons to tinker or move when bored
- rely on what they can directly experience or perform
- activities such as cooking, construction, engineering and art help them perceive and learn
- enjoy field trips and tasks that involve manipulating materials
- sit near the door or someplace else where they can easily get up and move around
- are uncomfortable in classrooms where they lack opportunities for hands-on experience
- communicate by touching and appreciate physically expressed encouragement, such as a pat on the back
You can find the three learning styles here [link]. I think that these aspects both describe me really well. I often find myself becoming bored and fidgeting, I get frustrated and decide to bake or play with something creative and get bored stiff when I cannot get hands-on on any kind of project. I feel like I've failed if I haven't got a physical element to one of my projects.
Also, I'm forever creating lists and I'm exceptionally tidy and cannot work when the place is a mess, I especially like "this" - the blog - for visually demonstrating my thoughts easily, and they're all linked in one place.
I think this has been productive.
