Who am I as a Learner?
People in the world need education to survive the life and follow the world development. There are many ways to deliver education. One of ways is the formal learning which needs interaction between teacher and students. There are some learning styles to make effective interaction in the learning process.
Based on Dr. Georgi Lozanov’s theory, on his book which title is Quantum Learning, there are three kinds of learning styles (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic). Each learning style has specific thing that makes different with another. Visual learner has specific thing in the visualization. They talk rather quickly, give more attention to their performance, prefer read to listen, prefer music to art, usually use the chart, diagram, and picture to remember the matter. Auditory learner has specific thing, it is about what they hear. They often say alone, prefer hear to read the matter, prefer the direct humor to read comic, and have problem about visualization. Then, the kinesthetic learner has specific style, they learn through moving, touching, and doing.
According to the theory, I classify myself as a visual learner. I usually use the diagram and picture to memorize the matter although I cannot draw picture well. I make a complete note to get more information about the matter. Besides that, I prefer read to listen the matter because by reading I can get more information that I need and my brain gets many knowledge. On the other hand, my auditory and kinesthetic ability are low, whereas each person has to match all of learning styles.
After knowing learning styles, we have to effort to develop and match all of learning styles in our self so that we are able to do our learning well. Then, we can do activity based on each learning style to make learning process effectively.
