Student Learning Styles
A learning style is the way a person approaches learning new information. As students learn in many different ways, it is important for them to recognize what their learning styles are so they can boost their learning potential. A student struggling in class might realize that the way he or she is trying to learn the material might not be the best way to succeed. For example, Melissa has a class where the professor lectures the entire time. Melissa has a hard time concentrating and paying attention. She often finds her mind wandering. In another class, her professor uses a PowerPoint presentation with colorful slides and descriptions along with the lecture. Melissa does much better in this class and retains the information. It is likely that Melissa’s primary learning style is visual rather than auditory.
