My Learning Style

     Today we were tested to know about our learning styles. There are 3 aspects of learning styles which are visual learning, auditory learning and kinesthetic learning. Based on the first activity, i realised that i belong to auditory learning which means I learn best through hearing. I can easily remember oral instruction and learn better through group discussion.

     Then, for the second test, i was able to draw the picture correctly for auditory learning easily. The result matches the first test. Therefore, the learning style that suits me the best is auditory learning.

     For the third activity, we were asked to do an online test. It show that i am 42%auditory.

    

     Based on the test results today, i will start to study by using auditory learning style so that i can study effectively.

Reflection Assignment 1

         

     The activity that we choose is the city-building. We were divided into groups based on our personality test results. We were provided with limited resources to build the city.

     Throughout the activity, the Taylor's Graduate Capabilities (TGC) that we developed are communication skills, interpersonal skills and citizenship and global perspective.

     We develop communication skills as we were able to communicate appropriately in various settings and modes. For example, we had the chance to exchange ideas among groups.

     To realise the city of our dream, we had to understand team dynamics and mobilise the strength of our team. This is where we were able to develop our interpersonal skills. Every team had different strategies to build the city. Therefore we had to work together to get the activity done.

     The next TGC we developed is citizenship and global perspective. As a team, there were diverse opinions and perspectives. We had to evaluate and incorporate all the ideas to get the best city built.

     All of these TGC would help us in developing our own personal characters in facing the real world. Through these TGC we are able to prepare ourselves for challenges ahead of us. For instance, the communication skills can aid us in passing our universities admission. Our interpersonal skills can help us to deal with people regardless of what profession we are in.

     All in all, we believe that these TGC will help us to live a better life. As we were all very new, we had trouble in communicating as each one of us were still in our own shell. One of the ways we pulled through was one of the members assumed leadership and connected the dots between all of us. In the near future, we will try our best to be the one who solve any plight which is ahead of us.
