LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY 

Firstly, what is learning style inventory? From what I learned so far, learning style inventory is to help the student to know or to determine which learning style suits them the best and helps them study better. There are 3 types of learning styles. Which is :

-       1.  Visual

-       2.  Auditory

-       3.  Kinesthetic

The explanation for each type is explained below :

VISUAL The visual learning style is a way of learning by images. This learning style requires them to learn by images to understand what they learn better. People with a visual learning style are also called visual-spatial learners. AUDITORY Auditory learning also known as aural learning, is a learning style where they learn effectively through listening. People who are auditory learners prefer to process information by hearing rather than reading or seeing it. KINESTHETIC Kinesthetic learning style means that they learn by doing it, they don’t like to listen to the lecturer talking or reading the books. For example: acting or sports. HOW I LEARN MY LEARNING STYLE : Then I total it up : I am a kinesthetic learner. You can try and check yours! TOPIC 2: GOAL SETTING GOAL STATEMENTS – THE FIVE STEPS APPROACH Now, in life, we must set goals so that we can see what we want in life. After we know what we want, it’s easier to establish a plan on how to achieve it. There are various types of goals. Short term goals, medium-term goals, long-term goals, and main goals. My goals for example : TOPIC 3: TIME MANAGEMENT AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS Time management is very important in our daily life. It makes us more disciplined and helps us to achieve what we want more easily. To manage our time, we can use a fixed commitment calendar, job task analysis, and a prioritized to-do list. We must know that the important one comes first. -FIXED COMMITMENT CALENDAR.  -JOB TASK ANALYSIS. -PRIORITIZED TO-DO LIST. TOPIC 4: MEMORY, LEARNING AND IMPROVING CONCENTRATION   We have 3 types of memories. The first one is :  - Sensory memory:   the information that we get after studying using all or one of our 5 senses will be                                    stored here ( by hearing, listening, smelling, feeling, tasting.) If we pay attention to                                  the stimuli, that information will go directly to short-term memory, if not, we will                          lost that information and we will have to study from the start one more time. - Short-term memory: They have limited space. The information must always be repeated to move the                                      information to long-term memory. - Long-term memory: They have unlimited spaces. The information must be repeated from time to time                                      so that it will not be forgotten. How to know how good your memory strategies are? You can use this chart.  Then total up your points. If you get low points ( 5 and below ) that means that you have to improve your memory strategies. If you have high points ( 6 and above ) it means that you already have good memory strategies. Keep up the good work! I get 4, looks like I have a lot to improve! There are good general memory strategies : -Spaced practice -Break tasks down -Repetition -Over learning Specific memory strategies : -Rehearsal strategies -Elaboration strategies -Comprehension memory strategies -Affective & motivational strategies -Organizational strategies. Let's try how to use organizational strategies  together! Trust me, it’s easier if you use organizational strategies. I remembered it all successfully! Next, concentration. What is concentration? It means you give your most attention to what you are doing at that time. Concentration is vital when you are studying. Your performance at school could be affected if you have low concentration in class. To know your concentration level, let's do this exercise! low points show that you have to improve your concentration. If you have high points, shows that you already have good concentration. Then monitor your concentration using this chart :  Study system: use good study methods to help you study better. Use SQ3R: survey-question-read recite review.  The exercise: Read the text Then Use the SQ3R method to answer the questions below :  TOPIC 5: TAKING LECTURE NOTES Taking good notes can affect your study. When you are writing your notes make sure that you write it in your own words so that you can easily understand it when you are doing your revision. By taking notes, you will be more focused in class and you will understand the information better. To write effective notes, you must know if you have a good taking note strategy or not. How to know? Let me share it with you the way to know! If you want to improve your note-taking strategies, you can take notes using a few effective methods. Such as: OUTLINING METHOD      MAPPING METHOD

SENTENCE METHOD

 CORNELL NOTE TAKING ( THE BEST WAY TO TAKE NOTES )

TOPIC 6: ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND PERFORMANCE

What is plagiarism? It means that we use somebody else’s work and name their work as our own. We also don’t give them credit for it. Plagiarism is a big mistake for a student and we must avoid it at all costs. These are some of the ways to avoid plagiarism.

Next is calculating our grade point average.

What is the grade point average? Or as we know, GPA? It is a calculation or a number that shows how good you are as a student. It will show your overall performance. Here are the grades you must get :
