Reflective analysis of the student themselves as a learner

I can surely say, that I am visual type of learner. Who is a visual learner? It is someone who is often called spatial learners and, unsurprisingly, learn and remember best through visual communication. This means that using a whiteboard, projecting maps and images, or showing photos work best. To begin with, I want to say that when I was at the beginning school I didn’t understand why it was so difficult to me to learn some information when someone is speaking. Besides, it was a daunting task for me to do some exercises which include listening. And at the same time I could easily do such tasks as reading or to learn information when I could see it and of course I was astonished with books that have pictures Then teacher gave us a test which would show us what a type of learner we are. This test showed me that I am a visual learner. That’s why seeing something helps me remember and learn something easily that listening something. Since I had found out about my type of learner, I know what to do in order to remember something. I need to use calendar or a print out what needs to be done. I use this like a checklist. Now I am a student and I have my learner strategy for studying. For example, it can me presentations which I do for better understanding or some pictures essays and simulations. I can use my learning style to my advantage by researching information about me assignments and reading the content provided. To summarize I want to say that I am one of the 65% of visual learners. And I prefer to see what I am learning rather than listening to it. Also I am sure that majority of students are a visual learners and I as a future teacher will try to use different ways to teach such students.
