Week 2: Task 2 - My Learning Style

From conducting the learning styles questionaire, I received the following scores:

Activist: 8

Reflector: 13

Theorist: 14

Pragmatist:7

Overall I am a theorist/reflector in learning style.

According to the learning styles summary provided by Janeane Dart, a theorist likes to perform tasks which are backed up by a logical theory or a purpose. Theorists likes to perform which are backed up by a logical theory or a purpose. Theorists work well with basic assumptions, principles, theories, models and systems thinking. This resonates with me as I like to understand the theories behind everything I learn as well as the logistics behind every task. I think in a way, my theorist style of learning has lead me to exceed in high school subjects such as mathematics and sciences. 

Understanding the theories behind why certain equations work in both maths and chemistry have made remembering and applying equations very easy and logical for me. A theorists' learning style also resonates with my passion for leadership. I have always loved understanding the behind the scene logistics when it came to organising school or university events. 

I am also equally a reflective learner. The reflector is known to observe and analyse the information they gather before they come to any conclusion. They tend to shy from the limelight during discussions in order to take in the different opinions and ponder their answer. This proves true to my approach to learning as I do like to contribute to group discussions, although I am never the first one to give an opinion. I would much rather someone state their opinion first so that I can either add to it or disagree with it. 

The two learning styles in which I do not resonate with as much are pragmatists and activists. I think a way to improve my overall learning as an activist and pragmatist is to embrace opportunities and problems that arise and make more of an impact in group work and discussions.
