LEARNING
STYLES
Not everyone has the same type of learning style. People find
it easier to learn things in different ways.
To find out your own learning style you are easily able to take an
online test to find out which one you are. There are three different ones.
These are:
Visual
Learner
These types of learners take in information and ideas
visually, this can include pictures, diagrams and bullet points when revising.
Using different colours for your written work can highlight key points which
you find difficult to remember. Watch any videos or visit exhibitions which are
relevant to what you are studying and can help you understand the subject
further.
Auditory
Learner
These types of learners take in information through
listening, such as rhymes and rhythms can help memorise important information.
Reading aloud your work several times if there’s something you don’t quite
understand and working in a noiseless environment helps to remember work
better. Listening to podcasts or videos relevant to the subject you are taking
will help the learner take more information in through this way.
Kinaesthetic
Learner
These types of learners take in information through
physical activity they take things in more if they are moving around whilst
learning. This could be done through creating cue cards with important
information on and then wandering about in a room whilst reading them. Acting
out ideas, problems or particular events from subjects will help you recall
them easier. By revising each subject in separate areas will help you remember
the information by thinking about the area you revised in.

I set myself several targets last year when I started at
college and I am really quite pleased at what I have managed to achieve. I feel
I have made good progress and have achieved 3 targets to 100%. I have aimed to
complete every assignment to a distinction if possible and believe that I can
achieve that if I continue to work hard. I also am spending a lot of free time
completing assignment work or improving it to try and reach this goal quicker.
I always make an effort to hand in assignments before the
date required so I have time to make alterations and corrections.
I also felt that I have pushed myself quite hard as English
is not my first language but I felt that my computer knowledge was good enough
to apply for the BTEC level 3 course
rather than start at level one. I am pleased that I have managed to prove to
myself that I was capable of going in at level 3 as in the beginning I was
advised to start at level one.
List of
targets set and achievements:
Target: Speak more
in class
Actions: achieve it
by not being shy and scared if the answer is wrong
Target: Upgrade my
home computer for higher specs
Actions: Achieve it
by trying to get a job and earn the money or save up
Target: Find a Job
Actions: Achieve
this by showing effort and look for a job
Target: Pass my
Cisco final exam over 80%
Actions: Achieve it
by revising at home and take notes during lesson
Target: Try at the
end of this term to achieve a merit or even distinction on my overall target
Actions: I will
achieve this by working really hard at college and home and show effort in
class
Target: Work
really hard to pass my exams and assignments
Actions: Show
effort and revise at home
Target: Build a
computer
Actions: Gets the
parts and try to build it
When I started college last year I was a bit wary of college
life in general and having moved from Cyprus to further my education I felt well
out of my comfort zone. However I feel that everyone has been very helpful and
made me feel very at ease. I know that maybe people think I am not showing much
interest as I don’t speak very much but I am naturally quite a shy person and
sometimes find it difficult to join in and shout out, that doesn’t mean that I
am not enjoying the course I am on.
I think that other students when they have got to know me,
know that they can ask me to help them and I always will and I enjoy helping.
When I finish this course I haven’t really decided what I
want to do. If there is a further course available to me at the college then I
will probably consider that, but I do know that rather than go to university
I would really like to open my own computer shop, but I think
I need more experience in order to do this so I think I will try and get a job
where I can gain this experience and set a goal for the future.
