  1. Learning styles The TRiO- Student Support Services way

  2. This chart helps you determine your learning style; read the word in the left column and then answer the questions in the successive three columns to see how you respond to each situation. Your answers may fall into all three columns, but one column will likely contain the most answers. The dominant column indicates your primary learning style. Adapted from Colin Rose(1987). Accelerated Learning.

  3. Learning Strategies for the Visual/Verbal Learner: • (visual, and written format) • Use color coding, when studying new information in text or notes • Use highlighter to highlight different kinds of information in contrasting colors • Make flashcards- limiting information on each card • Write out explanations for diagrams or illustrations • Write out in detail how to do steps in mathematical or technical problem solving • Before an exam/test use post-it notes with key words and place in highly visible spots, mirror, dashboard etc.

  4. Learning Strategies for the Visual/non-Verbal Learner: • (visual and picture or design format) • Make flashcards with symbols and pictures, highlight the words and pictures • Write key words in the margins of your text • Organize mathematical information in charts • Create your tables/charts/graphics on the computer to help with understanding • As much as possible, translate words and ideas into symbols, pictures and diagrams

  5. Learning strategies for the tactile/kinesthetic learner • Sit near front of class • When studying, place with your text, notes, flashcards in hand and read the information out loud • Make learning as tangible as possible • To learn a sequence of steps, make flashcards for each step, use symbols or pictures, highlighter pens- anything to help you remember • Make graphs, tables, and spreadsheets to organize your material

  6. Learning Strategies for the auditory/verbal learner • Join a study group • When studying talk out loud to aid in recall • With instructor’s permission, tape-record lectures- use digital recorder to make note of the counter number to make note of confusing material or material you need to study further. • With mathematical or technical information state the problem in students’ own words- reason through solutions by talking out loud to self or tutor. • Adapted from: Suzanne Miller, Instructor Diablo Valley College
