Learning can occur through a variety of mechanisms. Some examples
are:
|
•
|
Visual - what you see
|
| • |
Auditory - what you hear
|
| • |
Sensorimotor - what you experience using the motion or
movement of your body
|
| • |
Experiential - what your emotional and physiological response
is to information or experience
|
Your learning style influences how you learn best. You may be
a visual learner, and watching or reading will be your easiest
process. A hands-on learner (motor) may learn best by "doing."
It will help if you know your style. You can then maximize your
learning potential by utilizing that method.
10 tips for maximizing your learning process:
| • |
Repeat, repeat, repeat
|
| • |
Write it down - the process of writing can be especially
helpful for "motor" or visual learners.
|
| • |
Practice or study daily.
|
| • |
Ask questions, try to understand "the big picture"
or concept.
|
| • |
After you get "the big picture" about the "why."
Try to breakdown the details or tasks.
|
| • |
Prioritize importance of details or tasks.
|
| • |
Review, visualize, or imagine what you are trying to learn
morning and evening.
|
| • |
Sleep well, and avoid trying to learn while tired.
|
| • |
Eat well, and avoid trying to learn while hungry.
|
| • |
Try explaining/showing it to someone else. Teaching something
will reinforce it for you.
