The Learning Styles assessment is a self-assessment that seeks to help individuals understand how they learn.
All learners are not equal. They come from various cultural backgrounds, have many experiences, and use different learning methods. Some like to learn from text, while others want visual support and images. Some will assimilate information individually, while others prefer to work in groups. Ultimately, the only thing that can be said with certainty is that every individual learns in their own way.
The Learning Styles Assessment was developed after extensive research into how we prefer to learn. It aims to help every “learner” to understand their learning style (and the teaching style of those who help others learn). The self-scoring instrument uses 40 pairs of questions to help the respondent develop a personal learning style profile using these dimensions.
- Attending: Motivation to Learn
- Translating: Making Information Meaningful
- Relating: Linking Data to Existing Knowledge
- Understanding: Using and Applying the Knowledge
Once you complete your assessment, you will receive your personalized results and detailed information on how you learn best. The report also includes worksheets and guides on how to use your assessment results so you can become a more effective learner.
Why use Learning Styles assessments?
With Learning Styles, we can become advocates of our own learning experience. By understanding our own learning preferences and the preferences of others, we can ensure we are setting up our learning experiences to support the most effective learning transfer possible.
This will allow students to know what environments, contexts, or learning aids are necessary for them as they learn.
For teachers, coaches, or professional facilitators, this information can help enhance how you teach a class.
