AUDITORY LEARNERS 2
Auditory Learners and their piece to the puzzle on one style of learning. It’s about going hands on. Remembering a picture in your head or possibly reading aloud because you feel like you are going to learn faster then reading silently. Will this type of learning style help an online college student? It would seem that an auditory learner would have to change or alter their learning style based upon this method of delivery. …show more content…
A young boy looks skyward and see’s two figures casting a shadow upon him.
He realizes it’s his parents, the two most influential individuals that he needs to learn from to be able to move around this big wide world. His mother speaks to him, shows him, and guides him. As years pass and he moves alone out into the world he looses direction and the helping hand. He begins to truly soak everything in around him. I find myself as a person that has always physically moved, touched or seen the object that I needed to finish or do well on. It was always easier. I have only read a few books in my lifetime and I catch myself rereading or reading aloud because I forget almost immediately if I don’t. According to The Center for New Discoveries in Learning, if you find yourself taking a test or reading a book and your reading a loud, you may be partial to Auditory learning. (The Center for New Discoveries in Learning,
2012).
To follow suit is mostly how we all learn from my perspective. I remember when I was a child; my mother in church would bring her tape recorder with her and review them when she was back at home. She would use them to make sure that she didn’t miss or forget anything. I would agree with Learning Style Inventory that taping lectures help you fill in the gaps in your work (Bixler, 2010, p. 1). I am for a fact an Auditory learner and this is going to be a challenge for me while I earn my college degree. However, I want to earn this degree to show

Myself that I am more than capable besides being a grunt. I too am capable of learning more and expanding my mind. I want to be able to prove to myself that I am strong with my thoughts, my thinking process and being able to apply that to more mentally challenging occurrences. Become a better writer, use these tools with my next generation and not limit myself to one type of category of problem solving. No matter what type of learning style you may have Auditory, Visual or Kinesthetic, you are going to have to self adjust and possibly work a little harder depending what type of situation you are in. Keep your nose to grind stone. If you are an Auditory learner, expose that to your advantage and try to think outside the box and use it. If that’s how you learn, well keep working with that, and create notes, ideas, read it back to yourself.
