Session 2

My first impressions of the LSI outcome were not surprising at all, it said i was a visual learner which to the most part i am. I've always learnt through looking at material or context and then reading it. The only part which might have struck me as something i might do which was not stated was that i am also a hands on learner in the sense that i learn by doing mostly. For example exams i always tend to do better if i had attempted previous questions. Again maybe the visual learner in me is stronger and i learn faster by looking at maps or graphs and seeing exactly whats being played out step by step. For the course that im in which is Economics, there tends to be a lot of graphs and numerical s so in order to succeed i must practice a lot and look at what i am supposed to be doing. Most teachers i have worked with in Brock tend to teach visually and auditory. I do believe it would be a lot more beneficial if teachers implemented the kinisthetic  form of teaching as its good practice. Personally i would prefer it.
Moving on the multiple intelligence test, when i took the test again i wasn't surprised at the results, i was mainly a visual smart person or picture smart. This correlates with the LSI test i took, The first part of the video where he states that a student can get a very good grade on the test but a year later there's nothing is very true. A test can only examine your knowledge for the time being but it doesn't sustain memory for long. He says that constant learning of the material where the student carries on more than just an exam is what really sticks in the mind. I do very strongly agree with when he says universities or schools have one system of teaching and that not every student learns the same way the teacher teaches, everyone is different and because of this its very unfair to students to all learn the same way. Continuing on this point i agree with his statement that there is more than one way to teach a child, essentially to reach out to different children you must first see whats their specific region of learning. He then talks about really learning in detail about a topic, most students learn alot of context but its meaningless it wont do them much good, its the key concept behind it to really question anything that is said to learn what evidence is there about this topic and so on, I do believe my dominant intelligence would be mathematics as i strongly excel in this field. My mind is more numerically adjusted to numbers and figures. I can do this with ease.
Using the VAK questionnaire i was determined as visual once again, with a score of 5. I guess now it is very clear that i am a visual learner and to use this to my advantage is by learning more visually as oppose to any other way. To become a true master student one must be a multimodal learner. If my material is presented in any other way i would then have to modify it so its visual and i can see it.
