Unit 1: Task 6 M3

Task 6: M3

Different learning styles can aid personal development. There are three main learning styles and these are visual, auditory and Kinaesthetic. Visual learning is where someone learns through what they see e.g. pictures and posters. Auditory learning is where someone learns through what they hear. And kinaesthetic learning is where someone learns through physical activity and movement.

Visual learning can help aid personal development because it provides a way for people who have this learning style to adapt new techniques etc. Visual learning can be through pictures and colours. It provides a way for people to link information to a memorable colour so they are able to learn new things such as skills.

Auditory learning is another way to help aid personal development. It helps just like visual learning does but through different techniques. So through sounds and music information can be linked to certain sounds. This is a way for people to learn new skills and go through personal development.

Kinaesthetic learning does the same as visual and auditory learning. Through movement and physical activity people are able to learn better than they would in a lesson or from writing. By physically learning to do something instead of listening or seeing what needs to be learned is very effective for some people.

Throughout my project I have used visual and auditory learning. I have had to do a lot of research in order to complete many of the set tasks. I have used diagrams to help me with my learning so have learnt visually. I have also watched video tutorials to help me with some of the tasks set. This was my auditory learning as I learnt through what I had heard. I have so far not used kinaesthetic learning throughout my projects, however I find that in most cases this style of learning is of no help to me.
