In class we learned about our learning profiles and apparently I am the profile A so in this blogpost I will talk about what the profile does and how it works towards my learning. Firstly, I learn best by focusing on the details and I process by analysis, verbalization, and writing. I prefer structured learning and appreciate when the information is orderly sequenced and eady for me to analyze it.
I need to develop habits that encourage my gestalt hemisphere processing. Some of these habits and strategies are: brainstorm, visualize unusual images in my mind's eye, trust my intuition, and so on. I should also look at the information from a whole perspective which means I should try to see the big picture from the small detail that I tend to focus on.
The strategies that would help me in my learning are for example that I should be encouraged to understand and synthesize information from a whole perspective, and explore ambiguity, emotions and movement. Positive, enjoyable sensory-motor experiences will develop the skills necessary to emotionally interact and fully access imagination, creativity and intuitive introspection. Also an integrative balance of art, music and freeform movement with cognitive endeavors will be highly beneficial for me.
Lastly, I would like my teachers to know this about me because it might make me learn better and be able to study and perform better in school. I would also like my teachers to know that homework can give me a lot of stress sometime and during stress, I might have difficulties seeing the big picture. So as a joke I advice my teacher to not to give me homework where we are supposed to see the big picture because I might not be able to it! :)
