How do YOU learn?
October 9th, 2010
As I recall from a few classes ago, the topic of different approaches to learning came up. I remember we were asked to talk amongst the people beside us about which ways of learning we prefer and why.
It was not a surprise that there were similarities and differences. I personally prefer reading and note-taking while others suggested visual learning, discussion amongst others, hands on learning and etc.
I recently came across an article about teachers teaching in a whole new way. In the article, it is stated that teachers are being taught how to better engage students thought project-based learning and using higher-level thinking. It is discussed that the use of real-life situations will make school relevant and imposing project-based learning concepts will serve students better when they enter the workforce or another other future endeavors.
Even though methods of learning can be taught, I think it is essential for the student to find their own way of learning because not all students learn the same way. In order for the student to be efficient, it is essential that each individual student should explore the different methods of learning and find one that suits themselves.
