Learning Styles Test

After taking the learning styles test my results were physical (9), aural (8), visual (6), and read/write (4).  The guesses I previously made were pretty close.  I guessed that I was primarily a physical learner, and that is where I scored highest on the learning styles test.  I also had a high score in visual learning, and that was one of my guesses.  The thing that surprised me the most was how high I scored in aural learning.  I really like music, but I never would have thought I used that as a learning tool.  To use the physical learning style in a classroom I would probably do a lot of hands on activities.  I would use models or materials that the students could touch and manipulate while learning.  The purpose of the activities would be to get all of the students involved and active in their learning.  I also think that doing group work combined with the physical learning is a good idea, because the students can discuss what they are learning and help each other.

I think it would be a great idea to give your students a learning styles test, so that you can see the variety of ways your students learn, and include the different learning styles in your teaching.
