  1. Individual Learning Profile Rebecca Hedreen

  2. There are many learning or personality style assessment tools… • Visual-Verbal-Tactile/Kinesthetic • Gardner’s Multiple Intelligence Inventory • Felder’s Learning Style Inventory • Life Colors

  3. Visual-Verbal-Tactile/Kinesthetic • I’m a Tactile/ Kinesthetic. Verbal is my secondary style. • I’d rather pick it up and play with it than read about it.

  4. Howard Gardner’s MII • For Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences Inventory, I’m pretty even across the board. Note the lower score on the Visual, however.

  5. Richard Feldman devised a 4 scale profile: Active – Reflective Sensing – Intuitive Visual – Verbal Sequential - Global Feldman’s Learning Styles I’m slightly Reflective and Verbal, moderately Global, and definitely Intuitive.

  6. What does all this mean?

  7. I need to listen and do! • I’m better off listening and taking notes or trying something out, hands on. That’s the Tactile side and Gardner’s Mathematical Intelligence speaking! • In college I took a lot of notes, and never read them. The act of taking the notes was enough to fix the material in my memory.

  8. How I adjust my learning to my learning style… • Whenever possible, I choose a project or topic that I can really get into and explore. This takes a similar mindset to exploring something “hands on”. • I really prefer to “do something” with the knowledge I’ve gained, so papers about applying knowledge to specific situations, either personal or case studies, work well for me.

  9. Handling online learning… • I’ve adjusted well to online learning, perhaps because of the combination of sharing and isolation allows me to balance my Interpersonal and Intrapersonal facets (Gardner). • The Reflective (Feldman) part of me enjoys the chance to sit back and think about what I’m going to say in our asynchronous environment. Luckily, I’m more verbal than visual (Feldman) so the text-based classroom is fine.

  10. And what was that Life Color stuff? • In a similar test to many of the others, you are assigned a color based on your personality. • I’m blue—reflective, imaginative, tending to go off on odd tangents and find odd connections. • It makes me annoying in meetings!

  11. I do and I’m blue! • This is me in one of my Renaissance Faire outfits, another example of doing. This is an adaption of Medieval Celtic garb from western Europe.
