LEARNING STYLE INVENTORY
GETTING READY TO LEARN
HIGH SCHOOL VS UNIVERSITY
Move on from high school to university is not an easy task for some students. It may take some time to find new friends and adapt to new enviroment and student must alert with culture shock at university.
LEARNING STYLE AND CHARACTERISTIC OF SUCCESSFUL STUDENT
CHARACTERISTICS OF VISUAL, AUDITORY AND KINESTHETIC MODE
👀VISUAL learners prefer the use of images, maps and graphic organizers to access and understand new information
👂AUDITORY learners best understand new content through listening and speaking in situation such as lectures and group discussions. Aural learners use repetition as a study tecnique and benefit from the use of *mnemonic devices.
*Mnemonic devices are techniques a person can use to help them improve their ability to remember something. In other words, it's a memory technique to help your brain better encode and recall important information.
👐KINESTHETIC learners best understand information through tactile representations. These students are hands-on learners and learn best through figureing things out by hand for example there understanding how a clock works by putting one together.

Based on the form I fill out above, I am a visual learner person. The visual learning style is a way of learning in which information is associated with images. This learning style requires that learners first see what they are expected to know. For example, it easy for me to memorize some facts if I use mind map method as a note. Other than, pictorial notes is also help me in memorize, provide the picture must be clear.

MEMORY STRATEGIES
INFORMATION PROCESSING
3 TYPES OF WORKING MEMORY
🧠SENSORY MEMORY
🧠SHORT-TERM MEMORY
🧠LONG-TERM MEMORY
HOW TO IMPROVE OUR MEMORY STRATEGIES?
Most students need guidance and systematic instruction to learn and develop organizational strategies. Organization is one of the most difficult challenges that face college.
There is more than one way to stay well-organized. Teaching your teen the basics gives him the opportunity to find a system that works for him.
And it is:
1)Work and Study Space
Student should have an identified space in the home that he associates with learning and studying. The space should be free of visual and auditory distractions. A clear work surface, adequate lighting, access to necessary supplies (including an outlet for a computer), and a comfortable atmosphere that fits his personality will help him concentrate and cater to his learning style
2)Time Management
Teens and tweens still needs adequate rest to feel refreshed and ready for the day, so encourage your student to rise at the same time every morning and have a consistent bedtime. Compiling a to-do list the night before will find her not only more productive but more in control of his time.
3)Study Supplies
Some students like an accordion file system better than a tabbed divider system. Try heavy-gauge notebook paper with reinforced holes so that important information doesn’t fall out and get lost. Use clear slip-sleeves for papers that he needs or wants to keep in his notebook for the whole year. Plastic crates make filing and access to papers quick and easy; also, they can be stacked to maximize small space. Labels, cue cards, and color-coding can also be helpful filing tools. It may help to have color-coordinated folders and notebooks for each subject.

CONCENTRATION STRATEGIES
Concentration is focus of the mind, the ability to hold the awareness of your mind on one point, one place, without wavering. The perfection of concentration leads to meditation. In the state of concentration, your mind is not aware of the external environment or of other peripheral things that surround the object of concentration ie. the object you are focusing on.
Here are some strategies student can use to focus during study time:
👀 Study in a place that is naturally free of notes and distriction
👀 Stuck to routine schedule
👀 Focus on your goals with the material you are studying
