life when learning was a chore. I can remember looking at the clock on the wall watching the second hand tick away while feverishly tried to grasp the material before me. On the other hand‚ I can clearly recall times when I was eager to learn. I looked forward to the experience‚ almost counting the hours until my next opportunity to dive into the scheduled material. As the years have passed from my early days of learning until now‚ I have realized there is a key word that defines my learning style:

Pedagogy: Teaching and Learning Strategies During my PGCE placements I felt I have used a wide variety of assessment‚ teaching and learning strategies.

From the first website about investigating learning styles I found that I learn best with visuals and interactive experience. After I took the DVC Learning Styles Inventory test‚ my results concluded that I am a visual/nonverbal‚ auditory‚ and kinesthetic learner. My visual/nonverbal learning results suggest that I write down a summary after a lecture. I will retain information much better by writing down notes rather than memorizing the lecture. As an auditory learner‚ I should read out loud

VARK is actually the questionnaire which people can use to determine which learning method they prefer.

Exhibit 4.4: The vicarious learning circle The starting point of vicarious learning is generalized knowledge and skills that are required for undertaking a job. These generalized skills have to be transferred according to the job-specific situation.

His view of how children’s minds work and develop has been enormously influential‚ particularly in educational theory. His particular insight was the role of maturation in children’s increasing capacity to understand their world; they cannot undertake certain tasks until they are psychologically mature enough to do so.

Observational Learning During this course we studied that behaviors can be learned through our own experiences or observing others. Learning is the knowledge obtained in life through education‚ interacting with people‚ experiences and practice.
