Reflective Essay: My Sensory Mode Of Learning

My Sensory Mode My learning sensory mode, like most, is a mixed modality. My primary mode is kinesthetic and secondary is visual. This is of no surprise to me, and knowing how I learn helps me study and learn in ways that works best for my learning style. “If you discover how you process information best, you can learn things both more efficiently and in less time. By applying strategies that use your learning style, you can study faster and better.” (Hopper, 2016). When I learn new things, I prefer to do hands on practice, if that option is not available then a step by step guide to walk me through the task is a must have.

Processing Preference Analytical, left brain, is my processing preference. Again, this is no surprise to me, as I

After reviewing the chapter and this week’s teachings my strongest multiple intelligence is logical-mathematical intelligence. A few of the multiple intelligences are my strong suit but the logical-mathematical intelligence is my strongest. I am comfortable with logic it makes sense and limits the grey areas. I like trying to problem solve in most circumstances. Such as on the ship there is an electrical issue, I enjoy trouble shooting and trying to resolve the issue.

I tend to prefer systematic and linear approaches for me it leaves less margin for error and reduces the chance I miss anything.

Personal Strategy Plan When developing my personal strategy plan I will take into consideration my learning, processing, and social preferences. I need to ensure that whatever I do fits with my preferred methods including schedules, charts, and outlines. The other methods I will look at is the multiple intelligence methods and see what I can incorporate into my educational and professional arenas to improve efficiency and success. I am a creature of habit, but I need to look at different methods to see if one may improve how I do
