Which type of learning style works best for you or for your child?

Not to think or make things perfect. Won't be afraid to make mistakes, coz we learn out of it. But should acknowledge mistakes. Accept it. And most importantly, Talk! Communicate properly. Shouting is not a way of communicating. It makes tension and will create anger.

What a neat test, thanks for providing it. After completing it I have learned that I'm a visual learner which makes a lot of sense considering that I like to see what I'm learning and take many notes with a lot of details included.

Thanks for sharing that, I'll take a look at it. Although I know I am a visual learner, I always have to see something in my mind inorder to understand it. But I want to see if that is the case.

My daughter and I both know that we are visual people...but also slightly audio...LOL But I would like her to take that test to see if she is right. I went and took the test and for visual I had an 8 with a clost audio of 5. :) Thanks for the website! It is something I would like to use with a couple of my kids to see what their responses would be. :)

Another good web site kgwat thanks! I did some teacher training last year and we learned a lot about the different learning styles of children. It has definately helped me with my own children helping them with math for example. My daughter has ADHD and can't concentrate for too long. She is also a hands on learner so I always do math problems for her using objects or pie charts etc. It makes so much sense that not everyone learns the same way. Schools should be more open to this and teach appropriately. There would be far less drop out rate and children would want to learn I think.

I'm a visual learner. If I see it, read it or write it down I'll remember it. Just hearing it, eh maybe but don't bet on it. If I have to learn something for a test or what have you I read over everything, write things down and then I'll remember it. I tried once doing the whole record the teacher lecture and listen to it afterwards to help refresh what they said. Forget it. Didn't do me any good what so ever.

learning visually helps the child to grow with good pratical knowledge than being a kinesthetic learner

I am very visual and hands on. That is the only way that I can learn.

I know for sure that my kids and I are all kinesthetic. Of course visual plays into that, because you see before you touch but all in all we're kinesthetic and that's how I taught them for the first 9 years of their life as a homeschooling mom. They do fine in school now, public high school, but to be honest they do sometimes have trouble because a teacher will do nothing more than copy it up to the board out of the book and sit down to tell the class now they do it. I think there should be some type of course for teachers that explain the different styles in learning and insist they learn to teach all styles.

Thanks for this discussion....I learn best by hearing. I just posted a discussion on this too...and found that there are also learning TYPES as well....based on how you prefer to gather information. These types are: Meaning oriented (ask why?), Theory oriented (ask what?), Solution oriented (ask how?), Activity oriented learners that use their senses to gather data.

It's very close for me between visual - 7 and auditory - 6 (kinesthetic - 3) I think the summary for visual fit me the best (except for sitting in the front, I prefer the side and/or back). Auditory and kinesthetic didn't fit me very well at all. Only one or two from each matched me.
