Learning_Style

Assignment 005 Task A Reflecting on and developing own practice in a health and social care role My own learning style using a recognised tool Learning style refers to the ways you prefer to approach new information. Everyone has a preferred learning style. Knowing and understanding our own learning style helps us to learn more effectively. My own learning style consists mainly of visual and auditory. I prefer face-to-face meetings, seek out demonstrations, pictures or diagrams and I see vivid, detailed pictures in my thoughts. As for the auditory part, I rely on listening to tone of voice and I enjoy listening, or I get impatient to talk myself. I always get distracted by sounds and I attempt to control the amount and type of noise around me. Moreover, I definitely need the help of a lecturer with whom I obtain explanations; I can ask questions, share my opinions and improve my knowledge. I also use the internet as a source of research, which is now the biggest library in the world.
